She Healed Her Lungs, But That Wasn’t the Real Miracle
How Qigong Helped One Woman Reclaim Her Breath, Her Strength, and Her Joy
She Didn’t Just Heal Her Lungs, She Reclaimed Her Life
Susan was a mover.
Yoga. Spin. Morning jogs.
Then came the lung cancer diagnosis.
Treatment did its job. Tumors shrank. But Susan felt… hollow.
Like her spirit got left behind in the hospital bed.
Until she found Qigong.
Slow movements. Gentle breath.
Not just therapy, reconnection.
She didn’t just recover.
She returned to herself, her breath, her strength.
“I believe in the healing power of acupressure and a brain‑body approach,” she said.
“Qigong gave me that reconnection.”
The Science Backs Her Up
One study followed 156 lung cancer patients.
Twelve weeks of Qigong improved:
Breathing
Fatigue
Mood
Functional strength
Another review of 22 trials showed big improvements in cough, anxiety, and quality of life.
No side effects. No harsh rebound.
Just breath. Movement. Peace.
Why It Works… The RiversZen Way
I always say your body wants to heal.
Qigong and RiversZen style yoga gives it the permission slip.
You move, breathe, soften.
Your nervous system exhales.
And your cells remember how to hum again.
Try This Right Now
Stand or sit tall.
Inhale for 4.
Exhale for 6.
Let your arms float up… then down.
Do that for 5 minutes.
Feel the stillness move inside you.
Susan didn’t just survive cancer.
She started living again.
So can you.
One gentle breath at a time.
