Hi ,
I feel like I have too much Chi circulating in my body. It gets caught at blockage points and is painful and uncomfortable and it creates pressure in my head and face.
Its like my micro cosmic orbit hardware isn't able to handle the voltage.
I practice Tai Chi diligently. Maybe I should stop?
Hi! I'm currently recovering from a pretty severe burnout and my energy levels are very low.
One of the things I want to work on is reconnecting with my body. I feel quite disconnected from it and tend to focus mostly on symptoms rather than actually feeling my body.
I'd love to try Qigong, but I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the different styles, teachers and videos.
I'm looking for something very gentle and beginner-friendly that I could do for maybe 5-15 minutes, possibly a few times a day, even on very low-energy days.
Any specific YouTube videos, teachers or simple Qigong routines you'd recommend for this?
My main goal is less about exercise or fitness and more about slowly reclaiming a sense of connection with my body.
I am using this loosening exercise using a video I found on this subreddit. When I lower into my left leg, my knee starts to hurt. I’m unsure why and I do not twist my knee or go side to side. My legs feel like they’re under great pressure/like I’m holding a single leg squat is that how it’s supposed to feel? Like im straining in the legs?

Let me know if you have any tips, I’m very new to this and got into it after I asked meditation subreddit how to help my back pain while trying to keep an erect spine while meditating.
