The perfect way to support your health and wellbeing
Qigong can be translated as ‘skill with energy’ or ‘cultivation of life energy.’ At its core, Qigong is about qi (chi) – living vital life-force energy – and learning to become aware of it, feel it, sense it, direct it, and work with it.
Over the four weeks of the course, you will have the opportunity to explore this life energy through a sequence of movements known as Between Heaven & Earth.
The movements are relatively simple and non-technical. They are easy to learn and remember and don’t take too long to complete. They make a gentle and refreshing way to boost your energy to start your day, or at any other time you may choose.
How fit do I need to be?
When registering for the course, you will be asked to share details of any health conditions etc that we should be aware of. If you have any concerns at all about whether the course is suitable for you, please email Stuart at stuartmcleod05@gmail.com.
Between Heaven & Earth Qigong - the benefits
Mental & Physical Resilience – It sets up a stable, balanced energy pattern in the body to help practitioners cope with the stresses of daily life without being easily knocked off-balance.
Energy Renewal – The practice facilitates a connection to the energies of the earth and heaven. Allowing these environmental energies to flow through you purges stale energy and renews your personal reserves.
Strengthens the Energy Field – Building up a full and strong energy field creates a protective buffer, enabling you to interact more harmoniously with your surroundings.
Deep Relaxation – By combining movement, intention, and breath, the practice acts as a moving meditation that clears the mind.
