<p style="font-weight: 400;">The science is in on meditation and…its good for you! Good for health, stress reduction, focus, clarity the list goes on and on. </p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">However, we often hear the same reason for why not to meditate: “I can’t meditate because I can’t shut my mind off.” This problem was noted thousands of years ago. We sit down to meditate, and our monkey mind goes berserk. Random thoughts start running a mile a minute and we end up getting off of our meditation cushion more agitated then when we sat down! </p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">One way of counteracting this frustration is to work WITH rather than AGAINST the mind. In qigong mediation Yi or “Mind Intent” is used to draw our awareness inward. By exploring the sensations of our body and directing our minds in a clear and systematic way, we learn how to nourish the healing energy that is always naturally flowing within us. By learning to ‘circulate the qi’ as the Chinese sages put it, the body begins to relax and the mind naturally becomes quiet. The techniques of qigong meditation are practical, simple and natural. They represent an ancient process of attaining, physical, emotional and spiritual health.</p>
