When autism or neurodiversity becomes disabling, Qigong can offer a path to healing. Regina Dell Oro was told it was impossible to find healing for her son who has autism. Using Qigong, she did three things to create calm within the space of neurodiversity.

Autism naturally comes with diverse ways of thinking, experiencing, and interacting with the world. When those differences are neglected more than they are nurtured, symptoms can escalate, challenges become more immense, and one can become debilitated. With the aim of balancing qi, from being too condensed in the brain, to being regulated in the entire body. Regina, first as a mother and skilled Zhineng Qigong practitioner, set out to find healing for her son and the other young adults who sought the calm.

First, she shifted fundamental thoughts and behaviours of happiness using Dr Pang Ming's "Happy Quarter" technique, thinking "before you practice Zhineng Qigong, you practice happiness". Second, she introduced chanting as a way of communicating. Teaching "Hao La" and "Hunyuan Lingtong" she gave her students a tool to deescalate their fears and anxieties. These magic words related that everything was okay, and more so it gave her students, who often struggled with communication, the ability to recognize when things start to feel out of control. Even with Kai He, the La Qi method, her students could integrate practice into their daily lives, by recognizing and feeling with speech. Third, she carefully introduced movement. As to not initiate seizures, she considerately taught them how to move their neck and spine. With Zhineng Qigong Methods like, Crane’s Neck, Wall Squats they were moving Qi from the brain to the rest of the body.

For Regina it was "always a dance of what can be done, what cannot be done, and where we need to push a little bit". Through it all, she used her skills and understanding to adapt the practice of Qigong and make it more relatable to people with neurodiversity. By breaking down the movements, renaming and reframing, she achieved the impossible. Tune in to hear her story.

Mindful Moments: 

• Zhineng Qigong in search of healing for autism and neurodiversity after many failed methods
• Finding calm, and peace with Qigong and initiating a teaching practice for her own son and other young adults who had special needs
• The importance of stopping misery in special needs environments and the use of Dr Pang Ming’s “happy quarter”
• The nature of autism and people with neurodiversity, the importance of self-regulation, regulating emotions and adapting to situations and environments
• Chanting and sounds as tools for students to identify emotions and to self-regulate
• The impacts of qigong practice on confidence, coping with life, regulation and preventing escalation of neurodiversity and autism
