Finding a great training program
To recap, practicing Tai Chi and Qigong can benefit Veterans with PTSD and the most important components of a robust practice include: 1) Practicing relaxation and mindfulness training which is probably the most important thing a person can do to relieve symptoms of stress and chronic pain on many levels; 2) Practicing Qigong to increase circulation of qi, blood and lymph, and; 3) practicing gentle movement, meditative walking, Tai Chi form and gentle stretching.
I recommend searching and trying many teachers and styles. Some have more levels of internal experience than others. I am grateful and very lucky to have trained with one of the best Chinese masters, George Xu, who exposed his students to the finest masters in China. Through this training, along with graduate education in neuroscience and anatomy, I have designed a program to supplement those who are learning and teaching the internal arts.
A Spiral AnatomyTM Training Course is presented as a series of videos and supplemental materials that are available for download. Module 1 - Cultivating an Energy Body contains an extremely robust visualization, meditation program and Qigong. Module 2 - Balance plus Brain WorkshopTM contains materials to help you understand the physical and energetic principles of balance and to activate neuro- rehabilitation and repair. Module 3 - Connect the Body Physically as One Unit with Power Stretching is essential for whole-body or one-unit, connected, loose, relaxed, spiraling power in all styles of martial arts.
Power stretching is the next step essential for understanding how to repair posture to alleviate chronic health issues including chronic musculoskeletal pain. I invite you to visit www.SpiralAnatomy.com for more information.
