What is Qigong?

Hi this 👆 is question I’m asked almost every day - so here’s a quick explanation 😊

Qigong literally means ‘energy work’. ‘Qi’ (chi) is energy and ‘Gong’ is a skill that comes with practice.

So it’s all about working with your natural energy, and is one of the five branches of traditional Chinese medicine - along with acupuncture, Chinese herbs, etc. Qigong is the movement part (Tai Chi is a form of Qigong)

And we use three tools to do it. That's all you need:
✨ your mind
✨ your body
✨ your breath

The mind takes the awareness around the body, so you can encourage it to relax and release the stress.

It's fantastic for releasing stress and tension. And also really good for flexibility and balance - which is important particularly to get older.

Your body is led by your breath. We inhale softly and gently and then release and relax. It’s slow, mindful movement.

And it's even better when you do it outside in nature a place like Winkworth Aboretum near Godalming where we're surrounded by all these beautiful trees, and this autumn I can't wait to see all the colors.

So come and join us for a morning, for Qigong in the beautiful countryside, and watch the colors change. And we'll be watching this tree change in particular 🧡

Join me 9-10 am on Sunday 25 October and 8 November at Winkworth Arboretum 🍁

Beginners welcome 😃

Hello - what a lovely day ✨

First thing this morning, before the doors opened to the public, 18 lovely souls joined me for the first of my ‘Qigong in the woods’ sessions at the gorgeous Winkworth Arboretum 😊

It was magic ✨ A little cloudy to start with, but after some ‘Separating and Parting Clouds’ forms the sun came out as it always does 😊

Taking our inspiration from nature and the stunning trees - which are just starting to turn and reveal their jewel-like colours - we ended with a standing meditation ‘Embrace Tree’. It was gorgeous and the perfect spot to practice 🙏

The next dates are 11 & 25 October and 8 November if you’d like to join us ✨
