    I think Qigong and other mindfulness practices is way better that medications for anxiety and stress because Qigong helps you release all that negative energy(emotions) while medication supresses them and as a result they became more and more stonger and that further disrupts connection between mind and body because there's an anxiety in your body and you numb yourself to not feel it

      Ya seems like its typically a band aid solution for sure

      @@TheNickLoffree are you familiar with CBT(cognitive behavioural therapy)? It's another great tool for anxiety and stress because it helps you change your thought which changes your emotions. Better than meds

    Fascinating to think about the connection between practice, digestion and anxiety.

    Thank you Nick for sharing, Qi Gong is so powerful in healing the symptoms of unresolved trauma!

    Good advice. Lots to think about. My choice would be to do qigong most of the time ! I vary the times when I do it and it seems to work for me. What I especially like is the way gigong helps even out my energy levels. And, so far, I have always felt better after doing qigong. I hope you're enjoying the hot spring.

    Coincidentally, I woke up just before sunrise yesterday so I decided to do my practice & I felt so energized! So much more so than normal, I wanted to watch this video to see your presentation on the subject. Thanks Nick.

    Wow I really appreciate your honesty Nick, your videos have been really helping me with my anxiety.. I have suffered with severe anxiety and ocd for years and like you I cannot have the medications as it gives me all the side effects so I've had to go back to basics and learning how to self heal, this has been one of the steps on my journey. Many thanks 🙏

    Super helpful information for everyone in every circumstance. The aspects you mentioned such as differences between TCM diet practices and modern trends such as intermittent fasting would be interesting for many people, as well as the TCM clock. Thank you for all you do to get Qigong out into the world Nick!

    Very useful. In the past few days I have seen very clearly that I have to try and do QiGong every day. If I don’t then subtle stresses build up and throw me off kilter. Thank you for showing me this beautiful way of living Nick💚

    Congratulations, man! Happy for you. And encouraging for me, - a Prof. claims Biu Yun might give psychosis in labile ones. I feklt well from it but heeded her and stoppped, also because of many new stressors hindering. I'd guess early morning and evening. Did you do other changes too? Changed diet, mindset, focus? habits? Did you have relative peace and sense of safety + security? -I'd be very happy + grateful if you would kindly answer.

    Nick, thanks for your great content and insights! I have also heard that you shouldn’t practice at windy weather- what are your thoughts on this “rule” cause I live in a pretty windy region… thanks, Markus

  • @astraltationsupreme5949

    Great video, but this 17:37 moment "schedule or something or you're self-employed"... (oh, wait, it's actually me, ends in godlike mmuuhahaha😝🤣🤣)I understand this feeling so deep. 😄Epic😆 So iconic that it got potential to become meme. You would make a great actor.

  • @melindaprofesoraparticular4794

    Nick, big thank you for this very useful video, much appreciated. I've a friend who has schizophrenia and is being hospitalized at the moment because she stopped taking her medicine. Could you advice me please as to what I could do to help her? She goes through the same pattern for the last few years and it is rather sad to see her like that.

    • @TheNickLoffree
      @TheNickLoffree  Před rokem

      Unfortunately this is one of the most common problems with schizophrenia. I think mostly because the meds have so many side effects. Might be worth looking into alternative therapies like cyproheptadine (check out Haidut’s work on this)

    In which direction should one face while doing. How long after meals can one do these? Tks

    • @TheNickLoffree
      @TheNickLoffree  Před 9 měsíci

      I think i cover meals in the video. As long as food has digested you are good to go. For directions, I would consult a feng shui book if that is of interest to you. I don’t think too hard about that aspect.

    Medications leave me so sick to my stomach. I have taken a more holistic approach. Meditation, qui gong and yoga every day has been my medication.
