Event Description

This live presentation explores how gentle Taiji and Qigong practices can support individuals living with blood cancer by promoting relaxation, improving energy flow, and enhancing overall well-being. Rooted in traditional mind-body principles of TCM and adapted for modern medical realities, these practices offer safe, accessible tools to help manage fatigue, anxiety, treatment side effects, and emotional stress.

Participants will learn simple movements, breathing techniques, and standing meditations designed to cultivate internal balance, improve circulation, and reconnect body and mind. The session also highlights the importance of self-awareness, pacing, and compassionate movement during recovery and survivorship.

Whether you are a patient, survivor, caregiver, or healthcare professional, this presentation provides practical insights and an experiential introduction to how mindful movement can become a supportive companion along the healing journey.

Key Takeaways:

  1. How Taiji & Qigong support physical and emotional resilience

  2. Gentle practices for energy, relaxation, and balance

  3. Strategies for integrating mind-body movement into daily life

  4. A guided practice you can continue at home
