Qigong and Sound as Mindfulness Tools in Mental Health and Recovery
This presentation on Qigong will demonstrate the ways in which this ancient health practice can be used as another choice for enhancing and balancing the mind, body, and spirit in stress reduction. Qigong is both a moving and stationary meditation that opens meridians, massages internal organs, and lengthens and strengthens the musculoskeletal systems. Qigong is beneficial for persons with substance use disorders, as well as those supporting them. Complimentary to the Qigong practice, the effective and restorative use of sound will be an integral part of the experience.
