"Without a doubt, the most important pillar of TCM is that of Meditation because of its impact on our physical health and mental awareness: it is where you learn that you are everything and nothing. Meditation is the state of constant self-observation in order to work with who you are, what you are feeling, and how the environment can affect you. In other words, Meditation is a way of using breathing techniques to help on two levels: first, from “nutritional” energy we get through breathing; and second, how breathing acts as a bridge between the conscious and subconscious."

"Mind-body therapies (MBT) consider the interactions between brain, mind, body, and behavior and understand that emotional, mental, social, and spiritual factors can directly affect health (2). MBT includes Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga, Meditation, and types of relaxation (e.g., breathing exercises, autogenic training, biofeedback, and neurofeedback) (3)."
