    Qigong Today 3 - Qigong Institute

    Qigong Today 3   Resilience is the ability to positively adapt to adversity, trauma, stress, threat, and change. In a previous episode of Qigong Today we discussed physical exercise through the practice of Qigong and Tai Chi, as a fundamental component of resilience. But developing resilience to adapt to life’s challenges requires more than regular physical exercise. The exercise must be balanced with rest and recovery. Qigong’s slow paced diaphragmatic breathing is an excellent way to accomplish this balance.   * Adapting to Stress: Understanding the Neurobiology of Resilience  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27100966/   * Using Slow-Paced Breathing to Foster Endurance, Well-Being, and Sleep Quality in Athletes During the COVID-19 Pandemic  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8155704/   * Influence of a 30-Day Slow-Paced Breathing Intervention Compared to Social Media Use on Subjective Sleep Quality and Cardiac Vagal Activity  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6406675/   * Hypothesis: Pulmonary Afferent Activity Patterns During Slow, Deep Breathing Contribute to the Neural Induction of Physiological Relaxation  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6753868/

    The second installment of Qigong Today by the Qigong Institute discusses developing resilient behaviors with Qigong and Tai Chi exercise for improved mental and physical health and discusses select research in the Qigong and Energy Medicine Database at the QigongInstitute.org website. Physical exercise is a key foundation of resilence. Frequent moderate exercise is associated with better mental and physical well-being and a lower prevalence of stress. Qigong and Tai Chi exercise prescriptions are recommended for resilience.* In pursuit of resilience: stress, epigenetics, and brain plasticity - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26919273/* The Contribution of Physical Exercise to Brain Resilience - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7874196/* Physical Exercise as a Resilience Factor to Mitigate COVID-Related Allostatic Overload - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33691321/* Clinical Evidence of Tai Chi Exercise Prescriptions: A Systematic Review - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7972853/https://www.qigonginstitute.org
