In this age of technology and constant distraction, it's important to have time for yourself. Meditation is one way to take care of yourself, and it's also a great practice for building self-awareness.

Meditation is a tool for calming the mind and focusing your thoughts. It can help you calm your body, too—and that's why it's so useful for people who suffer from anxiety or other emotional issues.

Yes I can vouch for that !QiGong is indeed a great way to prepare mind and body for meditation. Sometimes even better than strong asana practice which in a way excites the energy system. There is a great QiGong course here for a "pay what you want" price. You can find it here: QiGong Class Online | Learn QiGong

All the best with it!
