Why focus on the digestive system? The Digestive System governs the important energy of digesting food, digesting energy and emotions, and digesting all the complex information in our life that is calling for our attention. When the Digestive System is under stress, the body doesn't know what to do with the excess food, emotion or information and the energy gets stuck. We feel worry, fatigue and un-grounded. Qigong can help recover the free flow of the digestive system on all levels transforming worry into openness and equanimity.
