I had a Qi Gong book years ago, and I used to follow it faithfully. It really helped with everything, stress, pain, emotions. I lent it to someone and never got it back LOL. Since Qi Gong exercises are often very simple, it is possible do to them without going to a class. There also maybe instructional videos out there that show the Qi Gong moves. These practices are really good for fibro, I must say!

I learnt shibashi qi gong at a local further ed college. It’s worth trying, the most important principle was the ’soft limit’, just as you describe ie not pushing yourself, but just accepting what is with your body.

I forget to practice, but when I do it like a breath of fresh air.

Cheers…

I wish I had more Fibro stuff around my house … only one pool in my county has Arthritis swim. i was doing it for awhile, but I hate the teacher. She starts class 15 minutes late, doens’t get in the water 1/2 the time, and stops our work out when she is having a personal conversation with one of the other ladies in the pool. Drives me nuts!

A good instructor is really important. I feel fortunate that the Wellness Center was built in my neighborhood. I had someone else from MI leave a similar comment about lack of good resources in your area. Very frustrating. I do know that there are some good Qigong videos that you could do at home. A friend of mine recommended “8 pieces of silk.” I do not have first hand knowledge of it, but he is a massage therapist with a pain and trauma recovery background. Wishing you well! FH
