The second installment of Qigong Today by the Qigong Institute discusses developing resilient behaviors with Qigong and Tai Chi exercise for improved mental and physical health and discusses select research in the Qigong and Energy Medicine Database at the QigongInstitute.org website. 

Physical exercise is a key foundation of resilence. Frequent moderate exercise is associated with better mental and physical well-being and a lower prevalence of stress. Qigong and Tai Chi exercise prescriptions are recommended for resilience.
