For most people, their mind tends to be trapped in one of two places. Either they are dragging their "past" into the present, leaving them filled with anger, irritability, and stress. Alternatively, they are spiralling into the "future" leaving them consumed with anxiety, worry and overthinking. Just like seated meditation, Qigong uses the soft flowing physical movement combined with controlled diaphragmatic breath to connect the mind to the present moment, where there is only stillness, peace and quiet. It is by connecting to the moment and being "present" that healing of the mind and body can actually take place.
