WHAT IS QI GONG?

In essence Qi Gong supports the reorganisation of our nervous system by clearing our energy and grounding us.  Ostensibly it is akind to pressing the refresh button and setting us up for the day ahead.  For this reason it is an ideal practice first thing in the morning.  Not only does it clear the old energy away, but the simple movements encourage the practitioner to become more present in the body and as their mind quietens, so the heart can begin to settle.  The more you cultivate your practice the deeper this experience becomes creating a greater sense of wellbeing, relaxation, connectedness, immunity, wholeness to name a few. - Tallulah

I offer Qi Gong Classes online and also an Online Qi Course which consists of 6 videos tutorials.

WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS?

“Qigong is energy work and having a simple daily practice, or going to regular class, is a way of working with the energy in and around your body. Modern day gymnastics was developed out of qigong exercises brought to the West, and this is where school physical education came from. The art of qigong recognises that daily cleansing of the energy in the body by working with it, keeps the body in balance and removes stagnant energy; it can be thought of in the same way that you wash or shower to clean the physical body, qigong cleans out the energetic body.

With a qigong practice you can:

• Strengthen and tone muscles and overall subtly in the body

• Relax the mind and calm thoughts

• Help the body to heal from injury

• Support the body to fight off pathogens such as seasonal colds

• Help the body to recover from and support long term or chronic illness

Really, the list is endless as the key function of qigong is, by tuning in you discover what your body needs, and the movements and meditations aid the body to flow in the way it needs to. In today’s busy modern world the benefits are endless, to just take time to slow down, move in your being and listen to what is there.” Bristol School Of Qi Gong

REDUCES DEPRESSION AND RELIEVES STRESS

One study found that qigong could reduce symptoms of depression. In this study, those who practiced qigong also experienced less anxiety and better moods as compared to those who didn’t. Qigong was also shown to have positive effects on bone and cardiovascular health and improve balance.

LESSENS CHRONIC FATIGUE

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a common disorder that causes extreme tiredness. There is no known cause, and it doesn’t go away with rest. It can be difficult — or nearly impossible — for someone with chronic fatigue to function in their daily life.

In a study, 64 people with chronic fatigue experienced improvements in their symptoms after four months of practicing qigong. They had better mental functioning and less fatigue than those who didn’t. If you’re tired all the time, and your doctor has ruled out any medical conditions, qigong could help.

BOOSTS THE IMMUNE RESPONSE

Your immune system’s job is to fend off unwanted guests like viruses, bacteria and diseases. That’s an important responsibility. And qigong may give your immune system a little extra help.

A review of several studies found that qigong had a noticeable impact on immune functioning. It increased levels of certain immune cells in people who practiced it regularly.

IMPROVES WELL-BEING IN PEOPLE WITH CANCER

Many people who are undergoing cancer treatment need relief from side effects and the stress of treatment. Often, they turn to alternative medicine practices like acupuncture, yoga or massage. Qigong may have a place on this list, too.

Some evidence suggests that using qigong can help patients with cancer fight fatigue and mood disturbances. This boost may be a welcome relief.

Keep in mind that qigong is not an overnight fix. Like any exercise, you need time to master it to get the full benefits.
