One thing that I think I have become more aware of is that (and yes some of you mentioned this earlier

As of lately I have been doing 8 Brochades, Standing meditation, and the sitting meditation that Mantak Chia teaches called "Inner Smile, and Healing Sounds" (I sort of combine the two together).
Now I guess to the meat of my question. If one's primary motivation for doing Qigong was emotional stability and balance, would it be wise to make a meditative practice the primary (though not exclusive) approach to this goal? I could be mistaken, but my intuition tells me that meditation addresses the mind / emotions more directly, and that moving qigong forms address the body more so.
Additionally if there is a more effective meditation for the emotions than the one I listed, I would be interested in hearing about it. I do the microcosmic orbit sometimes, but "feel" that the inner smile and healing sounds are more direct about this, but I could be wrong.
I thing I do know is that everyone has their issues, some have a bad back, others arthritis, and some like me have a difficult time keeping their emotions in balance for what ever reason. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
