ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
Medical Qigong is a gentle mind-body practice that combines slow movement, breathing, meditation, and focused intention to support physical and emotional well-being. For people affected by breast cancer, it may help reduce stress, anxiety, fatigue, and treatment-related symptoms while promoting relaxation, improved mobility, and an improved quality of life. Qigong can be practiced anytime and anywhere with no exertion or sweating.
In this video, Ellen Pace leads a short seated session that is accessible regardless of where you are in treatment or recovery.
ABOUT ELLEN PACE:
Ellen Pace is certified in Medical Qi Gong and is the founder of Qi Gong+, an evidence-informed complementary wellness practice based on the principles of Medical Qi Gong. Qi Gong+ integrates alignment awareness, balanced breathing, cultivating self-compassion and compassion for others through mindfulness, with adaptable movement and self-soothing methods that can be practiced lying down, seated, or standing.
Qi Gong+ was created to help people access, activate, and utilize their own inner resources as they navigate the physical and emotional challenges of illness and life’s changing circumstances. Participants develop practical skills that build self-reliance, resilience, and resolve for a greater sense of security and self-assurance. The cultivation of personal inner resources fosters expressing meaningful connection through community.
Health systems and medical centers are increasingly recognizing Qi Gong as a complementary wellness practice that may support physical function, stress regulation, and overall well-being alongside medical care and supportive services. Qi Gong+ reflects this growing recognition by teaching practical skills that participants can incorporate into everyday life, regardless of their health status, physical ability, or previous experience.
