In my local After-Stroke group, a couple of weeks ago, we had a Tai-Chi & Qigong session. The one merged into the other, and it seemed to go down pretty well, except the teacher overworked us a bit. I mean even the helpers were exhausted by the end. Anyway, no harm done, and one exercise was identical to an isometric exercise I do almost on a daily basis.
Qigong and the philosophy behind it seems perfectly therapeutic for me, and I imagine for many people. Ciao, Roland
i have two dvds on qui ghon by lee holden, but havnt done them for a while, life gets in the way, i have exercises for leg from doc which i try todo everyday
Hi Tricia
I am listening to a talk given by Lee Holden, while your post came through
Best wishes, Roland
ok not done for a while
Mingtong Gu tells people to visualise the movements, etc. when you are immobile, too weak, etc.
Never overdo it. That is unhelpful. The important thing is your level of connection to the energy. I could do the movements and sounds perfectly, and not be “connecting”. Do you see what I mean? I cannot find the video where Master Gu discusses this.
Understood, Matthew,
Do it with gusto, with all your heart, from the inside, body and soul
My Chinese Dr. always tells me to visualize things…
Even the body repairing itself can be visualized
Your contributions to this forum are outstanding, Matthew
Have a great weekend, ciao, ciao, Roland
You, too.

Qigong is full of paradoxes. It’s fascinating.
My Facebook news feed presented to me a series of videos from NeuroFlow Tai Chi soon to be included on the Different Strokes group. They are all YouTube videos and begin with an antroduction video. They do seem to be already available although I haven’t tried going through them yet. Hope the link works

Good one, it works, thx strings
Please do NOT think I was discouraging anyone from doing Tai Chi. I was just stating that Qigong is overall much easier.
They are both WONDERFUL healing methods!
@Matthew1798 there’s room for all activities that help us in our recovery. I doubt anyone would think that you were trying to discourage anything that helps us. We’re all here to help each other 
Get off your Bum and move, move, move. And…do it slowly deliberately and with focus. When and if you decide on Qigong or Tai Chi or fluid dancing (which I like to do): bodily awareness is key. Don’t let the mind wander; the brain needs to see whats up.
How are you @Elle1 ?

Hope it went well!
This might be helpful. Please have a look.
