Oh! This spoke right into my core. I’m now trying not to cry in the gas station as I wait for a friend to come get me.
Thank you for this pebble Jaime. I am excited to continue my Qigong adventure, not necessarily in the context I was doing it last night (it felt like I was helping to co-regulate the four others in the room) but to my own way in it.
If you have any resources you’d like to share on how to find my way to an autistic safe path to Qigong, I’d love that 💖
Not autistic, but for me, frequent Muay Thai, boxing , distance running, or anything intense. Combined with yoga ish internal distancing/centering, and recognition/reduction of enough triggers overtime, to gain a semblance of perspective outside of my own, other’s, and rnd world dramas. One of my struggles since youth that was never effectively addressed by any medical or therapeutic assistance. Good info ty

there are many in this old article related to 'flow states' that often occur in QiGong practice: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/autism-and-flow-states
I studied QiGong under Dr. Yang for some time, and this book of his is outstanding: https://a.co/d/j1bGpS2
This is an excellent version as well, and a favourite of mine: https://a.co/d/0fE10c5
