There could be an answer to this placebo nuisance. See this for example, http://www.brainmaster.com/software/pubs/brain/Faber%20Qigong%20sLORETA.pdf It sais Quigong increases alpha band brain waves power in some cortical areas. You may/may not be aware that alpha band brain waves synchronization can inhibit sensory input processing in the brain. In simple words, it means that Qigong does something real to the brain which makes us perceive less pain. Hence Qigong is not placebo but a therapeutic intervention. I know all of this because I am on another mind-body mission called Open Focus 🙂 See this http://www.openfocusattentiontraining.com/2015/02/04/the-science-behind-dissolving-pain-in-open-focus/ Best, Tomasz

Bingo, Vera. “Wanting to give up the pain” is part of clearing the mental/emotional blockages associated with pain. The truth is that a lot of people don’t want to let go of pain — and for good reason. The pain gives them something — an identity, empathy from others, a physical manifestation of spiritual pain, etc. This is why it’s so important to address the emotions!

But one has to want to give up the pain.i struggled with fibromyalgia for17 years. Taichi did not help with the pain.It helped with spine alignment and shedding negative believes , but it was Qigong that helped me get rid of fibromyalgia (and the pollymyalgia I was diagnosed with after some accidents ) in so many years of practicing Taichi.

Sorry to hear about the bad fall. Sounds painful. But I’m glad you recovered so fast. And yes, qigong can be miraculous!

I sincerely credit Qigong for a successful recovery in half of the usual time. Qigong for me can be miraculous….
