The ancient practice of Tai Chi offers a soothing but effective treatment for anxiety in the pursuit of inner peace and emotional well-being. Tai Chi is a mind-body exercise with Chinese roots that incorporates flowing motions, deep breathing, and meditation. Its deliberate, flowing movements help to relax the body and quiet the mind.

Tai chi practice can help you feel very grounded when anxiety arises. It is possible to stop the loop of worried thoughts because of the methodical movements and concentrated attention on the present moment. The body unwinds and the levels of stress chemicals drop as we time our breathing with the motions. Additionally, Tai Chi fosters an internal feeling of balance and harmony, which fosters a calm and composed state of mind.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced Tai Chi practitioner, just a few minutes a day of this age-old practice may significantly reduce anxiety. You may start a journey of self-discovery, inner serenity, and improved emotional resilience by adopting Tai Chi into your routine; this journey will benefit you as you confront the obstacles of life.

- [Amelia Thorn] - Before I start one of my exercises, I like to start with the Qigong Twist. The Qigong Twist will simulate Qi throughout the body, improve digestion and overall flow of the nervous system. So go ahead and take your feet towards the sides here, a little bit of a wider stance, arms down to the side. And we're just going to start swaying the hips side to side. And naturally, your arms are just going to start to sway in that motion. Letting the arms really move freely here and letting all of the motion come from the core of your body. We'll spend about 30 seconds to two minutes here. And this is a great place to let that energy start to lift, connect deeper with your breath, and maybe connect a little bit deeper with a higher version of yourself. Taking a deep inhale here. And exhale back out. Eventually, you'll let your hips slowly come to a halt, letting your arms just drop down to the sides naturally. And that is the Qigong Twist.
