Is Qigong really doing anything? The answer depends on what you're looking at.

We're often taught that more effort produces better results. But the body doesn't quite work that way.

Most people assume tight muscles need more stretching. It seems logical. If something feels tight, stretch it. Problem solved. Except the body doesn't always work that way.

Most posture advice sounds something like this: "Pull your shoulders back." "Sit up straight." "Stand taller." The problem? Good posture isn't something you hold. It's something that emerges.
