From Qi to Neuroreceptors: How Tai Chi and Qi Gong Calm the Nervous System Through Neurochemical Regulation (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

What if the ancient practice of moving slowly, breathing deeply, and focusing the mind could directly reshape your biology?

In this groundbreaking synthesis of Eastern wisdom and Western science, From Qi to Neuroreceptors reveals how the gentle disciplines of Tai Chi and Qi Gong are far more than slow-motion exercise-they are powerful tools for neurochemical transformation. Drawing on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and cutting-edge neuroscience, this book maps the journey from the flow of Qi through meridians to the activation of GABA, serotonin, endogenous opioids, dopamine, and endocannabinoid receptors in the brain and body.

You'll discover how intentional movement, rhythmic breathing, and meditative awareness:

• Activate the vagus nerve to enhance parasympathetic tone and heart rate variability (HRV)
• Reduce cortisol and modulate the HPA axis, breaking the cycle of chronic stress
• Trigger the release of natural opioids and anandamide, easing pain and elevating mood
• Improve neuroplasticity and emotional regulation through sustained attention and somatic awareness
• Support autonomic balance, immune function, and long-term resilience

Unlike generic wellness guides, this book dives deep into the biological mechanisms behind mind-body practices-explaining how subtle internal movements influence receptor sensitivity, neurotransmitter dynamics, and nervous system homeostasis. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a movement practitioner, or someone seeking relief from anxiety, pain, or burnout, this book offers a clear, evidence-based roadmap to inner calm and lasting vitality.

From Qi to Neuroreceptors bridges the gap between energetic medicine and neurobiology, showing that the path to healing doesn't require choosing between ancient tradition and modern science-because at the deepest level, they are speaking the same language.

Perfect for:

• Integrative health practitioners
• Neuroscientists and medical professionals
• Tai Chi and Qi Gong instructors and students
• Individuals managing stress, anxiety, chronic pain, or fatigue
• Anyone curious about the science behind "energy" healing
