Take a Deep Breath…and Relax
Does work stress you out? That’s a rhetorical question because working in Student Life can be exciting yet often stressful. This program works well for both students and advisors. Come learn ways to relax and rejuvenate that are completely healthy and stimulant-free. Topics include nutrition, sleep needs, and exercise tips, all based on brain-based learning models. You’ll learn to breathe and learn a technique that combines slow, graceful movements and special breathing to boost our “Vital Energy.” Based on the teachings of Qigong (pronounced “Chee-gong”), it only takes minutes each day to do and the benefits are profound: enhanced whole body circulation; accelerated metabolism; weight loss; better energy; bolstered immune system; enhanced mental acuity, focus, and concentration; and the list goes on. The Chinese have known about the healing and regenerative power of Qigong for thousands of years as it helps us to calm down, relax, and become more peaceful.
