Qigong (pronounced chee-gung) is an ancient, time-tested, 5000+ year old way to cultivate Qi, the energy flowing in the Universe, in nature, and in our bodies. Qi means energy and Gong refers to work or play. If you are a caregiver for a loved one suffering from mental illness, and you feel tired, stressed, in pain, or overwhelmed, consider gifting yourself some self-soothing downtime to reboot your energy reserves and add some spring into your step.
