Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • I’m wiped out in a bone-deep way and resting more somehow leaves me feeling worse, but anything strenuous is out of the question
  • The pain that won’t quit has made me afraid to move at all, so I’ve gone stiff and braced
  • Something I built my life around has ended
  • Everyone keeps telling me to move on and get over the loss, but the grief is huge and it won’t go
  • When I move I’m going through the motions on autopilot, mind a thousand miles away

Practices that may help

  1. Qigong: Evidence-Based Mind-Body Practice
    Qigong — a practice of coordinated slow movement, breath, and intention — has a growing evidence base for reducing blood pressure, anxiety, and fatigue in clinical populations. Effect sizes are modest to moderate; the strongest evidence is for blood pressure, balance, and stress reduction. It shares most mechanisms with tai chi but is more accessible to people with limited mobility.
  2. Qigong for fatigue and energy restoration
    Gentle qigong practiced consistently reduces chronic fatigue scores in clinical populations better than rest alone.
    Qigong: Evidence-Based Mind-Body Practice
  3. Qigong for chronic pain management
    Regular gentle qigong reduces chronic pain severity through central sensitization modulation and improved body awareness.

  4. Reframing loss as transformation
    When something ends or is lost, practise asking what it is becoming rather than only mourning what it was.
    Zhuangzi and the Practice of Perspective Shift
  5. Treating grief as a form of gratitude
    When something ends and you feel grief, recognise that the grief is proportional to the love — and let it be both.

  6. Tai Chi: The Evidence for a Mind-Body Practice
    Tai chi has one of the strongest evidence bases among mind-body practices: RCTs consistently show it reduces fall risk in older adults, lowers blood pressure modestly, reduces anxiety and depression symptoms, and improves balance and proprioception. It is less a spiritual practice than a slow, attentive movement discipline with measurable physiological effects.
  7. Intention and visualization in qigong
    Mentally directing awareness to moving energy through a region while moving amplifies the proprioceptive signal and focuses attention effectively.

  8. Havening to soften acute grief activation
    Use gentle touch and brief distraction to lower the physiological intensity of grief surges.

  9. Qigong shaking practice
    Gentle full-body shaking releases chronic muscular tension held in postural muscles and engages the vibration-based stress-release mechanism.
