Full moon Qigong returns to Lennox Head this Wednesday evening from 6-7pm. I have
curated an ultra calming session while Debbie Good has prepared the astrology for
our full moon in Scorpio.
No experience or fitness level required. Wear comfy clothes, bring water and be
prepared to feel super relaxed and peaceful.
$20 per person.
See you at the Surf Club Kiosk at 6pm. If it's windy, we'll make our way across the path
to the lake.
No booking required however, you may ask questions here if need be.
BA DUAN JIN
Is an ancient, Chinese Qigong practice for the maintenance of one’s health on every level. The postures are easy to learn and appropriate for most people.
The practice consists of eight separate movements, performed in a specific sequence. They may be repeated if desired.
Many studies have been done on Ba Duan Jin, proving that regular practice of these exercises have physiological benefits such as improved cardiopulmonary function, balance, increased energy levels, reduced osteoarthritis, improved cognitive function, nervous system reset, elevated confidence and more.
We find stability and balance within, through movement. Latent, unhelpful energies can be released from the body, freeing up space for fresh Qi to expand into. This can also help to mitigate the effects of long term trauma that has been stored within the cells and fascia of the body.
As with everything, the more we actively apply ourselves, the more we receive back from whatever we are giving to. This is the natural flow of energy.
Stagnation is death. We move the body through mindful practice, enriching our every cell through the process. This enables us to thrive rather than simply survive.
When we are confident, purposeful, resilient and optimistic, life becomes a cherished adventure rather than a grind. Lack of self-belief is the most significant drain upon our energy. When we understand how our Qi works, we have the awareness to cultivate, hone, shape and nourish it, enabling us to become creators rather than victims. This newfound certainty draws us closer to our ‘Supreme’, or ‘Ultimate’ selves; that person of peak potential being realised, that lives within the spirit of all Beings, including YOU.
It’s really hard to aspire to your best if you’re not sure of what that is. Self love is the key to opening the doors to your personal paradise. Only you have the capacity to realise your dreams. Only you can live your life. Only you can decide in each moment what you will do. This will be based upon what you currently know to be true about yourself.
Sessions commence Wednesday, 15 May and go to 26 June. Extensive notes outlining the form, meridians, organs and their function as well as a guided video are included in these sessions.
Are you someone quick to anger? Do you struggle with addiction? Do you feel disconnected from those you love? Is your work gratifying? Do you wake up grateful for a new day or are you just hanging in there for the weekend? Are you checking out at night with alcohol, drugs or distraction?
These are all symptoms of energetic imbalances that can lead to or trigger mental health issues.
Everything in your life is dependant upon your perception of what is happening. If we are caught in a loop of frustration, depression, anger and so forth, this is the lens through which we will perceive life.
So, what does all of this have to do with Qigong?
Qigong helps to gently move energy through our body, releasing stagnation. Often, trauma, pain, PTSD, hyperactivity and shock become lodged within, gradually creating a groove that generates the very behaviour or feelings we are aiming to avoid.
I have spent over 7 years studying these ancient practices that are intrinsically interlinked with Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture. Determining where we have a block or resistance is paramount to healing. If we don't know the underlying root cause of something, how can we correct or mitigate its effects?
I'd love to come and share some foundational practices with you, your business, your school, retreat centre, office, etc so that you can regain control and connection with your life and your loved ones while improving the entire culture of your world. Happy people are more productive and fun to be around.
These are not difficult practices. You need no level of fitness to participate or gain profound release. I am available for one to one, in person and on-line instruction.
I am certain that anyone can change their life for the better with a few tools and some loving guidance. If you're ready to begin creating your life rather than just existing, contact me. I'd love to offer you some insights into what's possible for you.
I am trained in:
Classical Qigong and Tai Chi
Medical Qigong
Mental Health Qigong
