I am 69 years old and Jeffery qi gong has reduced the stress in my life and has kept me physically and mentally healthy. Every time i am achy, I do Qi gong. Every time I am stressed I do Qi gong with one of your clips. Thank you.

Hey Jeffery, this was an excellent video. I have had a particularly rough month with anxiety attacks, this is the first time I’ve had them in my life (I’m 19), and it’s been particularly tough and rather frustrating to feel my body succumb to these painful and uncomfortable feelings. I’ve been doing better with understanding their cause and breathing through it. Lately I’ve been studying qigong on my own and some tai chi as well. This routine that you taught really helped me. I was in the middle of a rather hard panic attack with chest tightness and tingling skin. As we did the opening warm up breathing, I remembered something my therapist told me about the palms of our hands (she also teaches qigong). When we inhale, and our palms face the universe, she told me to think of it as giving thanks to the stars and the whole universe for the ability to exist, and when we exhale, we cycle our Qi and negative feelings outwards. I thought of this as I followed along, and it really helped me get back into a positive mindset. My chest tightness is gone now, I still feel some tingling, but I feel a lot better. I subscribed right away. Thank you again, it was a wonderful video.

[@priyanka06405]

Hi Jaffery, you don’t have any idea how much you have helped me. Three years before I had lower back pain. I was on medication. I realised that I cannot be on medication forever. I just found your video on lower back pain on KZbin. From the first day itself I was relieved from pain. With Daily practice it did not bother me again. Now I am suffering from chronic chest and upper back pain. Found your this video helpful in relieving chest pain. Need your blessings to recover soon. God bless you...

[@veragasteiger6647]

I felt amazingly better after this practice - also mentally refreshed and more optimistic. This is highly important in these times

[@ebut333uoy]

I went through some quigong youtubers and i find You the best. I like your calm voice and the nature setting. Excercises are really effective and what's important, You do IT slowly and explain the movement very clearly.

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

Have followed Jeffrey Chand since March during the lockdown and continue every day all through the Summer. My life is much better and I recommend these exercises for everyone.If like me you are totally drained with all the bad news on the TV you must give qigong a try. It will uplift you and make you very positive in life.

Hi Jeff, I have been suffering from post viral fatigue and I started practicing your videos daily, my energy level started to improve and i'm almost back to normal. I'm so grateful to you for your videos and for making me feel better. I have been recommending them to everyone I know. Namaste

I've recently been diagnosed with carer burnout and panic disorder. Panic attacks coming in waves over the last 3 weeks. I'm very into Yoga so I increased my daily practise instantly. Swimming in ocean any opportunity I can. I had a severe attack this arvo. I looked up tai chi and saw your video. This has taken me from having extreme breathlessness due to an overstimulated sympathetic nervous system, to a now fully engaged parasympathetic nervous system. The middle heaven tapping released so much stagnant chi. I cried openly and wholeheartedly. It was so cathartic. Thank you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I feel such peace and bliss atm. This is the best I've felt all year. Blessings 🙏🙏✨✨✨

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

I'm so happy to hear that it was helpful! The best thing is that you helped yourself by giving yourself the time and attention that you needed. Your comment made my day, thank you for sharing! 🙂

Wow, I could really feel the qi in my hands after the chest tapping!

[@lujesta]

Hello Jeffrey, thank you so much. This is such a great practice to get grounded, breathe and soften when feeling tension. I came across your channel some years ago and often return. Something called me back to this one this morning, well a tightness my chest and throat called me. I realised I needed to loosen up and remembered your practice I had saved. Thank you for this and all you share. It makes a difference. Nes from the Uk. x

An observation after my third day of Qigong: I've noticed that the energy that used to thrum in my heart, and went to the other places in my body more chaotically seems to stay still now in my heart region, not going to other places and depleting itself.

[@suzypalma5387]

Oh man Jeff, I was trying to move chi that was stuck in my sternum for the last two days, my acupuncture doc says that grief, holding onto feelings too long and sadness clogs the chi in the lung meridian. She advises me to massage just under my left collarbone when I begin to feel my heart clenching. I felt a bubbliness as I rubbed the points along my collarbone, and kept stroking them until the bubbliness disappeared. It helped with the clenching but the next day the clenching came back. I went for a brisk walk for 20 minutes which she says helps to move chi as well. I journaled which helps me to release blocked chi, then I did a mindfulness meditation for dealing with difficulties. I felt so much better, no more heart clenching. This morning I woke up and it was back. I knew I had to turn to you and THIS VERY EXERCISE because the pain was now in my sternum. After this exercise, the pain is all gone, both in my heart and in my sternum. I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!

With just a few days left until Christmas, I've developed a chest cold. Brother... I'm flying to spend Christmas with my kids in 3 days. Qi Gong for Anxiety and Chest Tightness is my current go-to. I'm optimistic. Let's see how it works

[@justsayingthingsthepodcast3915]

I ended up in the hospital yesterday thinking I had a heart attack. Heart seemed fined, seems like it was panic attack. I realized I need to get back into a better routine of mindfulness practices so I searched qigong for anxiety and found this video. When I started the hands while he was demonstrating I geared up a bit. The release was already starting. When the chest tapping began I started sobbing and kept on through the end of the routine. This was exactly what I needed right now.

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

[@marianeal3164]

Hi Jeff, I know I might have mentioned this before, but I am very much into presentations whenever one wants to introduce themselves or anything they do. And I think the way you Just go into your subject and a couple of seconds later you introduce yourself and what you do is informative and to the point straight away, so one can make our minds up whether to continue watching or not . Sometimes one goes into some of these videos and people take ages to go into their subject, so one has to put up with all their introduction to realise in the end that it isn't of any interest to you. So thank you and please don't change the format.

[@TheBeautyBehindTheBlackness]

You have a wonderful presence, and your delivery of the practices and description of the movements is so easy to follow. This is my first time learning about Qigong, and I will be doing it daily, and learning as much as I can. I am extremely sensitive to energy, frequency, the vibrational resonance of literally everything. It becomes a lot. I absorb a lot of Lower vibrational energy, and I help to transmute it into a higher resonance. This is as natural to my body to do as breathing is. I've only recently learnt about it and how much negative energy gets stuck if I'm not doing something to clear the Energy blocks. I believe Qigong is the ticket.

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

I am so glad you discovered the videos! You are correct, many people are sensitive to energy, and that can be a good or not so good thing! Qigong is an excellent tool to help balance the effect of other peoples energy on us. Sometimes we can help balance the energy around us, other times we can just take a deep breath and let it all go.🙂
