Qigong is the best form of stress relief you’ve never heard of. But that changes with this episode of the To Your Health podcast.

Chris Shelton joins me to explain what Qigong is, why it works so well for stress management, and how emotions actually get “stuck” in the body.

You’ll learn a complete 5-minute “Emotional Reset” routine you can start using today, plus simple emergency techniques for those moments when stress feels overwhelming.

If you’ve ever wished for a quick, natural way to calm your mind and body, this conversation will give you tools you can use right away.

I have dedicated my life to helping people reduce stress and relieve pain through Qigong, an ancient holistic health practice that combines movement, breath, and visualization. Over 30 years ago, Qigong saved my life after a devastating teenage back injury left me in constant pain and barely able to walk. In a 10-year period, I transformed from major suffering to becoming a martial arts champion, renowned healer, and successful business owner.

I've helped thousands of people across the United States and around the world reclaim their health and enjoy life free from chronic pain and emotional stress. My work has included Special Olympics teams, professional athletes, and celebrities seeking deeper meaning and wellness in their lives. My expertise has been featured in newspapers, magazines, podcasts, television, and across the web.

I'm the founder of Morning Crane Healing Arts Center with locations in San Jose and Los Angeles, California, author of "Chris Shelton's Easy Guide to Fix Neck and Back Pain" and "Chris Shelton's Easy Guide to Emotional Well-Being with Qigong," and co-creator of The Qi Club and Qigong Teacher Training programs. My motto is "If I can do it, YOU can too!"
