Elemental Qigong
FOR ENERGY AND RELAXATION
Qigong, or Chi Kung – pronounced chee gung – is an essential energy cultivation practice designed to de-stress your mind and body to recharge and integrate your whole system. It comprises easy-to-access repeated movements, combined with breathwork, internal mind focus and meditation postures.
Qigong is moving meditation medicine, a Healing Art that is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM.) Its’ practice is at the roots of Tai Chi, Martial Arts and as a fundamental substance for all energy work.
Qigong helps us take care of our physical body, freeing up joints and clearing aches, pains and tension to enable the energy body’s Qi to flow unimpeded through the meridian lines, and be purposefully gathered in energy centres to enable balance and harmony.
As you practice Qigong, tension releases, creating S P A C E for you to land in the present moment and receive fresh vitality naturally.
This can be gathered from the Earth, Water, Air, Fire and food. Qigong integrates these elemental potencies into a balanced sustainable energy.
Stress and tension are the scourge of good health, hijacking our inner world, creating long term disruption for cells. The stress response becomes a biochemical addiction, where we’ve learnt to think it is normal to continually push ourselves. This is not sustainable.
As a result we think we have to ‘Do’ something to get energy, whereas, with Qigong, the first port of call is to stop doing, drop into being and observe stillness with an open awareness.
This is the Yin Yang principle at play. We are ever dancing with 3D duality to find equilibrium, oneness, the Zero-point of 5D awareness.
Qigong offers ways to manage addictive adrenalised behaviour, discharging tension, promoting grounding, balancing, and gathering a healing energy that invites a curiosity of the ever evolving now moment. The reward is a rich recharging of steady replenishment, a gathering of Qi into a specific area in the lower belly, known as a Dantien – which exists co-spatially with the sacral chakra – and serves as a rechargeable battery unit.
Surrender into the ‘now’, by trusting the support that is beneath you.
Our Great GrandMother Earth holds us all, and when we give her our weight… ancient patterns of tension and anxiety can be released with ease and grace.
Exchange holding on for simply dropping in.
Notice what is supporting you now, and track it down to the Earth. Gravity encourages us to surrender to its primal force connecting us deeper. Anchoring in, rooting down, opening conduits of release and restore. Qigong goes deeper into grounding methods, where you can unwind AND resource. It’s the ‘let go’ that initiates the disposal process and this in turn activates the clearing and energising.
Mother Earth is a great composter, she transforms your old energetic debris similarly to waste matter.
Qigong can be divided in to:
1. Warm up movements : to free up joints and create flexibility
2. Movement ‘forms’ : to move Qi along certain meridians for balance and harmony
3. Meditations : to integrate the Mind, Body and Spirit into unification, to become an unstoppable force for good.
