Enhance Your Happiness
Practise Qigong

Breathing

It's good to breath, we would all be in a lot of trouble in about 3 minutes without it.  Do we breath the right way though?  Often we rush through life on autopilot without giving breathing much thought.

​

Fortunately, in Qigong, we do.  We often start a session with a conscious breathing exercise and then breath in certain ways throughout the rest of the session.  You may yawn, feel light headed or ultra invigorated

- all normal.

Movement

We do not all have to run a marathon or even a 5k to gain the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.  Qigong is more subtle yet it can still give you all the positive benefits - the key thing is to keep moving, especially as we grow older.  A saying in Qigong is that 'the hinges of a moving door never get rusty'.  This is the same for our bodies.

There is plenty of movement in Qigong ranging from stretching, knocking and warm ups - everything to keep your body and mind in tip top condition. 

Flow

'I am in the flow' - this is often what you hear from people that are intensely focused on something they are doing, often something positive.  Whether they are painting, exercising, cooking or within nature, t hey will channel their attention into what they are doing.

​

It's the same with Qigong - once we have warmed up and activated the body we move into beautiful flowing movements that focus the mind, body and emotions into positive intention.

​

Another Qigong quote is that 'a flowing river never gets stagnant'.  How true this is of the body and mind.
