Chi Gung / Qigong- Skilful movement of your life force energy bringing strength, balance and well being to body and mind

Your body needs healing movement every day and Chi Gung is a holistic therapy working on the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual level. It is not a treatment to replace conventional medicine, or a substitute for seeking professional medical advice. Chi Gung is a holistic system of co ordinated body posture and movement, breathing and meditation. Chi means “Life force energy” and Gung means “skill”, so Chi Gung is the skilful practice of gathering, circulating, and applying life force energy.

Chi Gung is a purposeful exercise that requires meditation (body awareness) and regular practice. It can be practiced by anybody regardless of age and level of fitness. Energy flows in and out of everybody’s body and Chi Gung is an approach to harmonise this consciously through mind, body and soul. We all arrive into this world pre-programmed and everyone needs to look after their body for optimum health.

Wired into your DNA is how to heal your body when an issue arises and by practicing Chi Gung daily you can fix damaged cells. By helping your life force energy circulate freely around your body is how your body heals you. It really is that simple and once you grasp the concept of being able to help your own body you will reap the rewards. If you break a bone and your DR puts your limb in a cast who heals your limb? YOU!

As an experienced holistic therapist in body work  (seven massage courses to date) I knew when I saw Chi Gung that this was the answer to how I was going to show you off my couch how to look after your whole body. I knew that most can’t afford regular massages or physiotherapist check up’s but still needed help. Every single person, and even those who I have shown some quick demonstration to, uses the postures for body health. Now these demonstrations are not true Chi Gung and I would like to (in the future) run classes locally to teach you this amazing body based practice for optimum health.

Private lessons are available on request.
