Theory: Trauma creates stagnation, and "if the body does not move then the essential qi does not flow". Choose the method that feels right for you today:

Option A: Grounding (Standing Qigong)

  • Watch Peter Deadman’s "Simple Three Part Practice" video below .

  • Quick Version: Stand like a tree. Feet shoulder-width apart, knees soft. Visualize your energy sinking deep into the earth. This "dissolves" internal tension while rooting you to the ground.

Option B: Activation (Vigorous Movement)

Best if you feel "frozen," angry, or too agitated to stand still.

  • Action: Burn off the stagnation. Go for a vigorous walk or hike, preferably on uneven or complex terrain.

  • Why it works: Complex movement forces your body to adjust and focus, pulling you out of your head and into your feet. This naturally breaks up the "stuck" energy of shock or trauma.
