Hi
I've just joined this great site & very keen to share & swop experiences.
I've been teaching qigong for several years & have lately felt an urge to teach qiogng to paraplegics as I feel the benefits could be huge in terms of energy movement and emotional well-being.
I live in South Africa where 99.99% of people have never heard of qigong and qigong masters are non-existant. My searches for info/papers on the subject on the internet have not unearthed anything very juicy.
So I was wondering if anyone out there has experience in this area or knows of any literature/papers on the subject.
i have quite a good idea of how/what I would teach but I guess I'm keen to find out as much as possible before hand. i.e. the effects that doing qigong has on paraplegics (not through emitted qi but through self practice - breathing & simple arm movements, visualising & directing qi by the paraplegic)
thanks
