Qigong exercises to manage Stress and Anxiety

[@MidnightMind]

This is going to save my life. I have suffered severe anxiety since childhood from c-ptsd and after the 5th round I immediately felt it drop away. I love that I can practice these movements anywhere. It’s also amazing how each different energy practice feels different in the body and when you move and play with it. Forever thanking you in this life and all lives immemorial 💜

[@Taiflow]

This one is thanks to Dr. Libby she is the one who taught me this sequence. Practice every day to fully benefit from its magic.

[@MidnightMind]

@@Taiflow do you have a video explaining the similarities and differences between qigong and Tai chi?

[@Taiflow]

@@MidnightMind I have written articles but I have not done a video.

[@MidnightMind]

@@Taiflow where might I be able to read these articles? I bet they're lovely and educational🌹

Wonderful thank you. My medical specialist recommended me to do Tai Chi. The experience has been just great. I'm enjoying every minute.

Cheers for this, being doing Taiflow every day since last May and i remember what you said in your first vid about the hundred days, spurred me on. I enjoy your videos very much, all the best from the U.K.

[@cindyhochman7669]

I have been starting every day with one of Leia Cohen's videos and I found her voice soothing, the exercises doable, and a wonderful way to begin the morning. Thank you so much, Leia, for sharing your positive energy.

[@joannestewart4959]

This is a beautiful, calming routine. I do one of the modules daily since April and now I am introducing Qigong 5 minutes a day. Sometimes I too cannot stand and it was a lovely start to the day. Many thanks always. 😊

[@ashleylynnisin]

I look forward to my Thai Chi practice with you in the morning! I've tried so many things over the years, but Thai Chi is the first thing that has ACTUALLY quieted my mind. I'm not sure I've ever experienced this level of peace in my own mind before. Thank you!

[@Taiflow]

Great!

[@brendanj383]

It really works that well? I've never heard of this!

[@ashleylynnisin]

@@brendanj383 Yes, for me it does. It requires an immense amount of focus and presence in the current moment to do it correctly, essentially pushing out all other thoughts. I started taking classes in my local area and am able to apply the lessons I learn to my daily life. I love it.

[@marieballion8142]

🌻Hello Leia. In the early morning when it appeared on my smart I thought it was Tchi!! but a few hours later I discover it is Qgong. I love your V. and your spiritual message. I started QIGONG David MARECHAL in France during the 1st lockdown in March 19 Dear Leia I go on practicing Your Tchi free moduls. God Bless you and your daughter Émilie.

I’ve considered tai chi for some years now but never did anything about it. I’m now gonna do something about it because I can’t continue to live the way I currently am. I’ve been trying to get off antidepressants for sometime but failed mostly because of the anxiety and irritability that floods back in. I’m really hoping this will help me. Thank you.x

I love this exercise, thank you so very much for making it, I watch and follow every day. One small suggestion, give a 10 - 20 second pause after the end of it before the music cuts in. I get behind sometimes and the music ruins my zen moment while I'm finishing off.

You can Google her. She is a very well-known doctor in New Zealand but she is actually from Australia. If you mention Dr. Libby in those parts they all know her. I once went to a talk by her at my daughter's school in Wellington it was fabulous. She does a lot of women retreats too. She was a teacher at my online Health coaching school The Institute for Integrative nutrition. Since I learned this from her I want to credit her for the moves.

[@backtolifewellnesswithmarianne]

I have a question. I’m not sure what to feel or think when you instruct to put the energy in the belly. I have symptoms in my belly when anxious, so I feel I should be releasing energy from my belly instead of putting energy in. I am new to Tai Chi and enjoying your videos. Thanks for posting them Dr Libby! 😊

[@Taiflow]

Yes Dr. Libby rocks for sure! We keep our internal fire in the belly. So when you move Qi you always return it back to the belly. Keep practicing Tai Chi and you will learn to control your anxious feelings so don't worry about mixing it all up in the belly. The Qi fire will burn out the anxiety in the end.

[@UKathryn]

Happy Holidays!

Hello dear, I’m enjoying the different modules daily, it’s part of my life , love them ❤ Just wondering, in this video at the first part u are saying ,take the tension to the belly , something like this , shouldn’t we release it out and not keeping in our body the tension? What’s your thoughts, And thank u again for these beautiful videos
