Breast cancer, similar to other health imbalances, is related to the flow of energy within the body. In order to maintain balance, energy—or Qi—must move freely through meridians, which are pathways in the body. These meridians carry vital information that allows the major organ systems—the Liver, Heart, Spleen, Lung, and Kidney—to work together harmoniously for optimal health. When energy is blocked or stagnant, it can manifest as physical issues on or within the body.
By viewing everything as energy, we open ourselves up to endless possibilities. A diagnosis then becomes a signal that your energy is obstructed, stagnant, or out of alignment. This ancient perspective helps to alleviate the fear often associated with a modern diagnosis and instead presents opportunities for healing. True healing comes from within, not from external sources.
Various factors can contribute to energetic imbalances, including emotions and a hectic lifestyle. Becoming aware of your surroundings and how you interact with your work, family, and beliefs is the first step towards healing.
Practicing Qigong exercises is essential. Qigong directly targets the meridian system to promote the free flow of energy throughout the body. The following postures specifically help to move energy through the breast area. For optimal breast health, dedicate 2-4 minutes daily to each of these postures. Once you have mastered them, continue to practice for as long as you can.
These movements have proven effective in helping women prevent and recover from breast cancer at various stages.
