Qigong for Headaches, Migraines, & Neck Pain | Gentle Qigong Headache Relief

A gentle qigong routine for headaches, migraines, and Neck pain. In Qi Gong, headaches are often seen as being caused by excess heat or stagnation in the Liver meridian, or generally excessive heat or "rising" energy in the body. They can also be caused by excess tension in the neck, jaw, face, and shoulders. This routine aims to alleviate all those causes and leave you with a cool calm head, neck and shoulders.

    Following you and practicing qigong every day with you for some months now. I have to share my experience. Mature women mum of 4 daughters and grandma to 5 . Had been very sporty all my younger days, at least 4 hours a day from swimming, high diving, gymnastiks, and martial arts, actually it was also a way to get out of a dysfunctional family house. At age 9, damage my back at a backflip diving session, had to lay flat on a board for a very long time (ages for me at the time) then at the age of 15 my 3,4,5 vertebra also got damaged because of so many bumps etc in martial arts. Never really had much bother with all that until my thirties, took pain killers when it hurt. But then pains started really to play in with my daily life, many times not even able to move but had to lay down for days on end, took pain killers and my daughters helped with massages. then the pain killers began also to be a problem, didn't work anymore on the contrary. Actually even tried tai chi and what not, My nights were short, couldn't lay down more than 4 hours at a time, had to get up a few times at night to stretch out and exercice for pain relief. Had an expert opinion from a neck/back specialist once, the answer was to have surgery with the solution of a metal plate on the vertebras, thus then not being able to turn my head but all the torso, and worse again, the 50/50 chances of ending up in a wheel chair. Of course I chose the pains! This going on until 5 months ago.....my youngest daughter having problems sleeping too, introduced me to your qigong. We practiced every night before going to bed, the insomnia one by the beautiful fire, and the deep sleep too.....lo and behold, hadn't even realized that for some days during qigong, I had slept through the night, didn't wake up with neck pains, and haven't ever since....YOU can bet your CHI, I now practice with you every single day and so does my daughter. So many thanks Nick!

    Hi Anne-Marie, sorry for all these challenges you had gone through. I bet you have no regrets because not only did you choose these experiences, you also had fun. My son and I were just talking about drawbacks. there is a drawback in everything we choose to experience, whether it's foods, body building (that was me) diving, gymnastics, you name it. I am so thrilled you didn't choose the evasive approach. (that was me as well) Congratulations in choosing what works for you and for choosing qigong. I Love Nick's practice, he is gentle, Loving, gifted, and compassionate. the best part is also the body of water he practices in front of. I am a water being, one of my practices is to sit and be with brother Ocean or whatever body of water is available. practicing qigong with Nick in front of these Rivers/Mountains are amazing. Thank you so much Nick, you are a Gem. Great testimony Anne-Marie thank you for sharing. May the Life, the Universe All That Is brings you what you need to completely be healed from these discomforts. I hope you are asking, for it is from Asking you are Given. Peace, Gratitude, and Love and Abundance of health Namaste Lailani
