Event description

Come and find out why Qigong is catching on like wildfire as a sustainable wellness practice. Take action today to learn more about how these ancient practices benefit you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

The Qigong:

Did you know there are over 3,000 forms of Qigong (including Tai Chi!), and that there are schools dedicated to physical movement practices, some dedicated purely to the internal arts (meditations and breathing techniques) and those which combine both?

The kind of Qigong I practise through the White Tiger Qigong School is Taoist (also written as Daoist) Medical Qigong, which combines both. Qigong is a remarkable wellness modality in that it encompasses training the body, mind and spirit simultaneously. Taoist Medical Qigong specifically targets stimulating organs and lines of energy (Qi) in the body known as Meridians. Blocked or stagnant Qi is considered to be the root cause of much sickness, pain and malfunction in the human body and psyche; regular practice of Qigong, however, helps us to restore energy pathways, optimise the function of the major organs and regulate the nervous system.

The Benefits:

What that means in practical and scientific terms is that:

a) the dynamic movement practices take your body through multiple planes of movement using ancient coiling or 'spiralling' techniques to maximise the generation and realisation of potential energy in the body,

b) the fascial matrix (connective tissue) surrounding and interpenetrating your organs and muscles starts to restore its elasticity and freedom of movement, enabling

your organs to hang freely and correctly in your body,

your limbs to enjoy greater freedom of movement and increased flexibility,

your body fluid to pump or flow more effectively into the tissues, improving oxygenation and lymphatic flow,

your Qi to flow more freely,

c) the breathing techniques cue your nervous system to switch more readily and effectively between modes of operation, so that you can optimise relaxation and recovery mode in the parasympathetic (rest and digest) state, and

d) the meditations and visualisations help to:

focus the attention,

calm the mind,

direct Qi flow,

set intention,

and bring one into deeper states of awareness of the internal landscape of one's body and mind (an activity known as interoceptive awareness), which helps to regulate emotion, mood and response.
