Qigong works

It’s remarkable how we can take our bodies for granted. I’ve been aware of a general discomfort in my lower back for some time, and also -since starting to run on the treadmill in the gym – that I tend to carry my weight on my right leg. Earlier this week, I decided to address the first issue with a few Qi Gong sessions, concentrating on the Ming Meng point (point 63 on this chart). The results are quite astonishing – it has got rid of a muscular tension I wasn’t really aware of, which was causing me to carry my pelvis awkwardly. My posture has visibly improved, and I’m now carrying my weight properly, relieving my leg. The downside is that my left leg is a bit weak, and the sessions in the gym since then have strained a sinew or something on the back of my left hip, close to the bone. That will mend, though, and the benefits should remain.
