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

Nick, my dearest friend be blessed forever and always with your amazing work for humanity. You always helped me in so many ways and always fixing my problems. It is absolutely the best instant fix. Love you so much Nick and stay safe and strong. Your 74 years younger student 🥰💞🙏🐥
Beautiful practice, you’re the best teacher I’ve come across so far. Thank you so much. 🙏
Your mission is of another dimension Nick. I'm grateful to you.
Thank you for sharing. Gratitude from Stockholm (Sweden)
Been doing these practices for a year now and it’s changed my life. It’s become apart of my normal routine and life 😊
Thank you so much Nick....I never leave comments but this class is the most beneficial I have found for releaving neck pain from a car accident so long ago....really opens things up!! Sending so much Light to you and your new little family....:)
A beautiful practice. I love the way you describe each movement, so poetically and calmly. Really takes you where you need to go! Thank you Nick! :)

Much gratitude. The movements are so healing and your voice helps me focus and relax.
Also, the sound of your voice is perfectly calming. Makes the practice even more effective. This relieved my neck pain.

Another great session from Nick! This channel has quickly become a big part of my life and I'm always excited when a new video drops!
Wonderful session Nick. Thank you! The setting is exquisite and the only music that is necessary, is that of the water. Love it!

I've only just found this channel today. Yes, I find these very watchable and also appreciate the absence of any annoying music. 😊
Incredible! Also opened up the back. Again HR dropped to 40s.
You mentioned that some of the movements would be great for some kind of dance. You're right! Belly dancing uses a lot of these techniques: head, neck and chest circles.
Thank you Nick. My headache is completely gone 🙏🏻❤️
Love your videos. You have such a gentle energy that invites a flow of peace. Thank you!
This is the first time I try qigong and I love it!

Thank you Nick. The tension in my neck and shoulders is significantly alleviated. This routine will be on my regular rotation. The qigong movements, the gorgeous nature and your gentle, warm guidance are deeply nourishing. Infinite blessings to you.
👍Fantastic! Thank you Nick!😍
Very interesting and different routine, although I had to both slow down and shorten the exercise at the 10 minute spot (raising the shoulders and swinging the arms) due to stiff shoulders. I appreciate your creativity.
I do love to return to past sessions. Gentle but very effective. Thank you, Nick.
Hi Nick! You are an incredible teacher! Everything about this video is so magical, soothing and chi-full!! I love practicing with you out in Nature. You always leave me giggling with a smile on my face as I open my eyes and poof! you're gone! Thank you. Namasté 🙏💚

This is the best one so far. I've had stiffness and an almost constant ache in my upper back and neck for several weeks now and this really helped to free things up. After more than 20 years of yoga practice it's great to finally experience the benefits of qigong. If time permits, I'm definitely interested in doing the online TT programme. Will send a message through the website. Deep bow of gratitude from the South of France 🙏
Great video, as usual, Nick. I don't get headaches, but I carry a lot of stress and tension in my neck and shoulders. Your videos help me so much in so many ways. Thx so much! Did you make your sandals? They look like Tarahumara Huarache sandals to me!
