World Healing Day 2024

World Healing Day is an annual event which is celebrated on the last Saturday of April month. This year, we are celebrating this day on 27 April. This day is celebrated with the belief that natural healing can help in treating many health conditions. People around the world come together to promote healing practices like Tai Chi, Qigong, yoga, and meditation.

On 27 April 1998, people gathered in parks and fields in the USA to practise healing exercises like Tai Chi and Qigong. Tai Chi and Qigong are traditional Chinese martial arts that involve a series of slow and focused movements along with deep breathing. Later, this gained global attention and was made into World Tai Chi and Qigong Day, from which World Healing Day was formed. World Healing Day includes other healing practices like yoga and meditation. 

World Healing Day aims to raise awareness about the benefits of traditional practices that encourage physical, mental, and spiritual health. This day also promotes unity and harmony among people as they join in to practise self-care while spreading the message of peace. This day continues to grow as people are looking for ways to connect with others and create a more harmonious world.
