That was a lovely session indeed! I definitely needed it, although part of me felt so tired and worn out that I would rather have slept, but this was a better alternative and a true blessing! Thank you also for all your comments; it’s very helpful to hear about what others are going through. It eases the loneliness.

What a lovely session that was yesterday evening! I’ve done a few similar meditations and they are always helpful (and I find guided visualisation particularly good in stopping my thoughts from wandering) but the water bit added something extra (I was pretty well immersed this time) It also felt great to do it with others and I’m sure the sum of a group is more than its parts, if that makes sense.

I really am super grateful that you have opened up this space, you really are so special.
Thank you for introducing me to such a wonderful energy practice all those years ago at a Conscious Living Event I attended. Little did I know that one small step I took to go there that evening would have a profoundly positive impact on my life and what I put out to the world. Gaining you as a dear friend and regular mentor for Qigong is a really special gift I am forever grateful for.

I just wanted to drop by to properly thank you for your wonderful session last night. At times I felt I was floating I was so relaxed and I can’t believe how quickly the session went with being so immersed in it, one minute it started then we were closing… I was like woooah.. time perception shifted so beautifully gentle and kind, nourishing yet expansive.. thank you.

I am feeling very grounded after our session and my shoulders especially feel much more open. I’m aware of how much tension I was holding there now.
My biggest takeaway was at the very start actually with your way of being; not to put myself under pressure to be anything other than as I am and just to arrive before listening to what I need to do in that moment. Removing all expectation created the foundation for the practice. I also have an appreciation for the power that can be built from seemingly small movement.

These benefits are true of your classes too Clara ; I feel the day long session increased the effects all to the good.

The depth I experience practicing qigong is not easy to describe. Surrendering to my shattered thoughts, the list I haven’t finished, are like weeds in the vegetable garden.
Nanette C
Elemental Qigong
Always do-ing exercises and stretching my body to the max, with qigong it’s such a discovery observing the energy when it starts to flow, a feeling of deep caring and calming in my body occurs, I’d never thought that could actually happen in the stillness of the subtle stretching movement.
Nanette C

New to Clara’s training, I can already feel the gentle, powerful energy coming from Clara’s presence and practice. The encouragement to go at our own pace and to make it our own, together with Clara’s expertise, humour, kind and genuine interest, makes this teaching a lovely balanced and healing support.
Jane Still
Elemental Qigong
This my first time doing Qigong. I came into this opened minded wasn’t really expecting to feel different in anyway but wow! In 6weeks my whole life journey has turned around in an amazing way. I never stopped still for one thing, so simply standing still, breathing, finding my balance and inner chi has been truly overwhelming. As the sessions have developed I’ve felt an amazing surge of healing energy in my hands and body. I’ve also experienced lots of emotional releasing and letting go of old lineage.The replay option has been so useful having time to reconnect and go over sessions when needed, and through our meditation the word that has come to me is ‘Colossal,’my Qigong journey. I thank you Clara looking forward to the next 6weeks to unfold with Fire element. 🧡

Wow !! This morning I did the replay of Clara’s Equinox Event, and found it exquisite – and so wanted to thank you Clara for putting on such a beautiful event, and for sharing your Light with us in this group (& the wider world). I was feeling a little out of sorts this morning but by the time I’d finished the replay I felt balanced, grounded & relaxed – the perfect “portal into peacefulness”.
I have a tendency to be quite yang, and loved your references to the “dynamic dance of the yin-yang” and the beautiful moves we did to help bring balance in & harmonise the masculine & feminine energies. I felt my shoulder & neck tension drop away as we did so – beautiful !

You give us a visual and auditory framework within which we can have our individual experience to explore what the qi is for us, and how it’s showing itself to me in the moment – sometimes it doesn’t it show up how we think it will! It is exciting because you can’t contain it.

Physical meditation adds an undeniable element of depth, so you move through your mindset and emotional baggage in a very visceral way. It incorporates both letting go and building you up. You will definitely feel ‘more’ than when you started…

Clara has a magical and playful way of presenting Qigong and has a very clear way of teaching and informing us of all the levels within ourselves that we can work with.

Clara’s wisdom training is a portal into a deeper experience of your qigong.
In Clara I have found a teacher who speaks the same (body) language as me and so provides tuition and insights just when I need them without my needing to ask.
In Clara’s Wisdom training you are tapping into the power of the universe and taking it with you. As you finish your wisdom training course you will stand for more of what you believe in and will be encouraged to be guided from within. I now feel I exude a kind of magic that I knew was there, but couldn’t quite connect with the frequency of all the time.

I’ve been doing this wonderful journey of Qigong for over a year now. It has brought immense changes to my life, some subtle and some too bloomin’ obvious to believe. Has my life changed a lot in the last year? It sure has, and I believe that regular practice of this branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine has aligned me in many ways and is very holistic to whole wellness, and empowered life force from the bubbling well we all have inside us, if we know how to use it. The slow movements take a bit of getting used to, I ain’t gonna lie, however the strength that comes from them is vital, and encourages a whole new way of relating to the body. If you feeling like exploring this powerful healing practice and empowering your own health, oh yes you can, then check out what’s on offer.

Sue L

The concept of stillness within movement i did find strange at first. I had practised meditation as part of Yoga, but the idea of consciously stilling the breath and body during exercise was foreign to me. Now I find it quite empowering. As a result I am a lot more conscious of my breathing and in the real world, find ‘belly breathing’ very therapeutic.
June G
Elemental Qigong
I had only done Qigong for about two weeks, and I noticed a marked difference in my energy levels. My energy had been severely depleted due to my work, and I began to notice I wasn’t so tired, and still had some fuel in the reserve tank by the end of the day! In conjunction with this I was so much more grounded, and less stressed. This after only a couple of weeks is truly amazing!
If this is what a few weeks does I’m excited to continue my qigong practice to accumulate and reap the benefits of Qi.

It’s lovely to be sharing this movement of positive flow you speak about.
I did the replay yesterday and am always grateful to be reminded about the benefits of practicing WuJi for a longer time.
Your summary of the post session share was so succinct and really resonated with my experience, especially the desire to ‘do’ the next part and a feeling of impatience which then draws me, or part of myself, away from the present and consequently a feeling of emptiness and not being satiated, as you put it.
I really love and appreciate the way in which you are able to articulate in such a clear manner, both in your writing and verbally, very informative and enriching. Thank you.

I found today’s session so restorative and nourishing on so many levels. As I mentioned, the MFB took on a whole new depth of experience that was so releasing, unlike the million others I’ve done previously. Really surrendered into it. I very much got the message about taking care of your body and it will take care of you. I felt this not just on a physical level but in an embodied, more unified way. So, thanks Clara for a really lovely session today 🙏x

Trusting the ebb & flow I’ve been struggling for a long, long time with grounding. I do daily Tai Chi with classes 3x week. I use crystals, walk barefoot on the sand and grass, do the Roy Masters pushing down meditation and still I feel blocked. My chi feels like it is getting weaker…I’m hoping to find ways to tap into what my body is telling me so that I can give it what it needs. I watched your video this morning, I totally agree that rest is so very important. My body seems to want to rest alot at the moment. I am trying to go with it. AFTER SPINAL TURNING “Just turning my neck, there were lots of cracks. After the swinging arms and touching organs I felt quite emotional, smiling and yet tears. I feel very centred and peaceful now. Beautiful. Thank you.

This is a great opportunity, for everybody to get ready for the big changes in the world we are facing now. The only way for us to overcome this period is by increasing our vitality and by staying in the HERE and NOW.
Chi Kung is the only exercise I know which gives you more energy and teaches you how to stay in the “here and now”.
Clara is, for me, the best teacher of energy-work that I have found in my search in the last 30 years.
And out of my own experience, I know the best way to get into deeper levels is, when you do it on a retreat over several days.
Thanks Clara, for giving us this opportunity.

I have explored Qigong and other energy practices with many different teachers over my time, including some high profile ones. Today I experienced a fresh delight, precision and clarity of focus, a response to the authentic embodiment we are all being called to now. The session with Clara was a truly precise inquiry in the moment! Loved it!

I discovered Chi kung through Tai chi; I was finding that I was enjoying the warm up exercises at the beginning of the session more than the Tai chi itself.
I had been looking for something to keep me fit and also to help me relax. I had been through a particularly bad few years with two lots of breast cancer and had also developed Crohn’s disease. As a result of surgery, I also had lymphoedema in my arms which needed some gentle exercise to help the fluid drain. Chi Kung fitted the bill exactly, combining the body and the mind.
Chi Kung helps me in many ways. It provides gentle exercise for my whole body keeping my joints supple. I have learnt the importance of using my breath to help me to relax. I have discovered an inner energy that I did not know existed and have learnt how to harness that to help me when necessary. I now find that I have more energy and don’t feel as tired as I used to.
The most important thing that I have learnt from Chi Kung is how to relax and how not to become stressed. I did not realise until I started practising Chi Kung how tense parts of my body often were; for example, I discovered that I always tensed my shoulders when driving. Having learnt how it felt to have relaxed shoulders, I now find it easy to recognise when the tension is creeping back in and know what I can do to stop it. Having practised Chi Kung for nearly seven years, I am now able to drop in to a relaxed mode in touch with my inner chi.
Chi Kung empowers you to listen to your body and to understand what you can do yourself to help yourself in so many ways.
An advantage of Chi Kung is that you can practise anywhere and at any time. When the need has arisen, I have often sneaked in some Chi Kung exercises when in a public place. Nobody knows what you are doing but you can give yourself some valuable re-energising. I do a lot of hill walking. At the top of a mountain after a long climb, I love simply standing in the Wu Chi position… taking in the lovely view, breathing the mountain air and feeling in touch with the elements around me.
One of my favourite exercises is The White Crane form. I find it very meditative and relaxing. There is nothing better than practising the form outside on a lovely warm sunny day surrounded by nature. I even practise some chi kung at the end of my swimming sessions; some exercises really lend themselves to being done in the water – figure of eight, flying dragon, bear walking.
Ultimately Chi Kung is about combining your body, your mind, your breath and nature to help you to use that inner energy that we all have. It has now become an important part of my life and often creeps in when I least expect it!
