As well as being an accredited Executive Coach, as a certified Qigong teacher (with the Irish Health Qigong Association), my interest lies in Traditional Chinese Medicine and ancient Chinese teachings.
Here I would like to share some of that wisdom that supports a healthy and balanced way of living.
What is Qigong?
You may have heard about Tai Chi. They come from the same family of mind-body practices.
Qigong is a gentle practice that in addition to movement focuses on breath and emotional resilience via Nervous System regulation.
In 2023 I did quite some research on Qigong in the context of Breast Cancer recurrence prevention as part of my Master thesis. One of my conclusions was that while the Western research is slowly starting to look into empirical evidence of this ancient practice, the preliminary studies are quite promising, with positive effects found on Heart Rate Variability, affecting neuropsychoimmunology and regulation of the Nervous System and thereby overall health.
