Take a Break: Try Eight Brocades


In this month’s Journal Watch there was an article that showed the benefits of Baduanjin, a traditional Chinese mind-body exercise, on menopause symptoms in women who had breast cancer. 

Having learned about Qigong while working in AIDS, I found it to be one of the most helpful thing I’ve done. Baduanin is also known as Eight-Section Brocades,  which is one of my favorite Qigong practices. With Thanksgiving just a few days ahead, and thus begins the madness of the holiday season, it’s a good practice to use to aid in calmness and relaxation as well as increase a sense of well-being. Below are two different videos to try.
