Qigong, Tai Chi, & Meditation For Fatigue

5 May, 2023


In this 13-minute video, Ramel Rones, Tai Chi Master, demonstrates Mind-Body techniques from the Eastern health and martial arts philosophies, such as Qigong (Chi Kung), Tai Chi, and Meditation, that may help relieve cancer-related fatigue symptoms. 

According to Qigong and Chinese medicine, fatigue may result from an excess of Yin (passive, negative) or Yang (active, positive) energy. 

In this video, Rones guides you in strengthening your muscles and energetic system to relieve Yin fatigue and relaxing your mind and body with restorative postures and deep breathing to relieve Yang fatigue. 

Remember, it’s important to speak with your cancer care team to report any side effects and concerns to create a treatment plan that works for you.
