Practicing Qigong

I've begun learning Qigong ( chee-gung ) and so far I really like it. It does feel like a workout but at the same time a nice relaxing meditation. I really should get in the habit of starting my day with it, because all day I felt blah, now that I practiced a little Qigong, I feel so much better. I'm thinking that I maybe could have felt good from this morning on, rather than suffering all day. I had one of those anxious for no reason days. I didn't feel like doing anything, but at the same time felt guilty about not getting anything done, and believe me, there's a lot that needs to get done. My back and neck have been bothering me for a long time. I went into the chiropractor twice and still I am having issues. I wake up almost every morning with a sore neck. I did something to my back/neck in November, and felt like I had a pinched nerve. The headaches and migraines that I'd been having were really giving me terrible anxiety. I'm slowly healing now, thank goodness. Anyways, I came upon Qigong and thought it sounded like an excellent healing modality. I've been feeling out of shape and sluggish due to not being able to workout in quite awhile, because of my back and neck problems and hoped this would help. I'm learning from a DVD called Qigong for Beginners. It's a 2 disc set with a bonus documentary on the practice of Qigong. The documentary was very interesting. The exercises are easy to follow which I think is great. If you're looking for a way to alleviate depression or anxiety and get into better shape, Qigong is the way to go.
