Critical care nurses learn the ancient Chinese healing art of medical Qigong. They learned how to integrate mind, body, and spirit for self-cultivation and healing others.
We taught Tai Chi and Qigong to critical care nurses who were holding their annual convention in Washington, DC. We had a full class of very enthusiastic Qigong students. For some of them, it was their first exposure to this ancient Chinese healing art. The Qigong forms we taught are part of TCCII’s Qigong certification program approved for CNE credits.
One thing that was quite remarkable at this convention was the size of the space dedicated to the “quiet room.” They had a full labyrinth, meditation area, and room for the Tai Chi classes. The space was about 10 times larger than last year.
We have longed believed that Qigong, meditation and other mind-body connection practices are ripe for introduction to a larger audience. This was another indicator of an increasing awareness of mind-body-spirit practices among some segments of the population.
