RE: Slowing Down Life

in The MINIMALIST2 years ago

Hello @tezmel
Sorry I didn't get to respond earlier. I just posted in response to this week's prompt. Basically, I manage my anxiety with Qi Gong and meditation. Not just the physical movements, but I do studies on the flow of energy in the body.
Qi Gong is like the calm amid the chaos, and it helps me to keep every thing in perspective... Also, practicing the spiritual side of minimalism in my life:)

Me replying two days later...sigh

Thank you so much for sharing. I should really read that post as this is my first time hearing about this way of life minus the minimalism of course :)

Yes, definitely check Qi Gong out. I do the Wudang Five Animal Qi Gong, which is soft internal martial arts. There are so many different forms and types of Qi Gong, but this one mimics the movement of the dragon, tiger, leopard, snake, and crane.

Here's a good video to watch of a pro with amazing flexibility. These movements should be practiced every day to open blocks and energy channels in the body. He doesn't give instructions on the breathing here, but there are numerous videos that this will lead you to:)
