It is said that ‘there is nothing new under the sun’ and this ancient Taoist practice is so effective that it has been handed down through the generations; literally the original embodiment practice. 

 

Lotus-Seed Qigong is a series of gentle practices that soften the body and revive the  spirit by warming our joints, bones, ligaments and internal organs.  Working to move ‘qi’ (our inner vital energy) through the body, opening up the meridians, allowing stagnant energy to flow, encouraging vitality and alignment. It deeply calms the nervous system and promotes detoxification, creating space and stillness within ourselves. As a form of slow moving meditation, it is accessible for everyone.

​

The practice is all about how we feel; it generates a deep sense of well-being and inner peace, as well as bringing more fluidity and strength to the body. Most notable is the feeling of deep calm and alignment that can be accessed so easily through this practice. Its likened to washing our bones clean. It's a simple pathway to feeling good - really good - fast! 

 

The movements are primarily circular and organic, based on the patterns and cycles found in nature in animals, birds, plants, water and mountains. We work with the power and aspects of the elements seasonally and their corresponding meridians, so in the Winter we are working with the element of Water, associated with the kidneys in Traditional Chinese Medicine whilst in Spring, as the buds start to open, we welcome the element of Wood and work with the Liver channel. The Summer is connected with fire and the heart, whilst Autumn is metal and the lungs. We learn much more about this Taoist wisdom in the online classes and I invite you to come and try it.
