Expressing Your Soul's Truth
Expressing who we are is not only about the words we speak. It’s about being so honest with ourselves that all of our thoughts, feelings, choices and actions become energetically aligned.
A 'Qi' Approach to Weight Management
We’ve been conditioned to believe that losing weight and keeping it off requires depriving ourselves with strict diets and punishing ourselves with grueling exercise regimes. But Qi Gong takes a radically different view - one of treating ourselves with love, kindness and compassion and appreciating everything our body does for us.
Here are 6 ways Qi Gong helps you find and maintain your “happy weight” in a way that is effortless, natural, and stress-free:
Healing Our Way to Wholeness
We all have healing to do and, like it or not, each of us is responsible for our own healing work.
Although we can benefit greatly from the guidance and support of others to help facilitate our way toward a greater sense of wholeness, nobody can do our healing for us.
Plugging into Your Power
If there is one thing life, and especially my Qi Gong practice, has taught me, it is that ‘power’, in the true sense of the word, comes from within. It is never forced, but comes naturally to us when we remember who we really are – magnificent creatures of Nature, exquisite expressions of life-force energy, divine intelligence made manifest.
Embodiment as a way to Enlightenment
While ‘enlightenment’ has always been about accessing states of consciousness beyond the boundary of the physical body, the focus of many spiritual seekers today is on ‘embodiment’ – how we ‘feel’ in our body, how we ‘relate’ to others, and how we ‘do’ things in the world.
There has been a move toward spiritual practices that help us become more present within our bodies, more connected to humanity, and more grounded upon the Earth. It’s a shift that can help us heal our personal and collective trauma, at a time when many are struggling to resolve painful family or childhood issues, and stress and fear are rife in our society.
What does it mean to evolve?
When I was 28 and taking my first tentative steps along the spiritual path, I made a vow to myself that I would make it my life’s mission to ‘evolve in consciousness’, without quite knowing what those words even meant.
I had a somewhat vague and romantic notion that, with enough yoga and meditation, I would one day ‘reach enlightenment’, which I thought was some kind of mystical reward bestowed on only the most spiritually-devoted.
Flash forward more than 20 years, and I have a very different view of what ‘evolving consciousness’ really means
Shedding the False Self
When I first heard about ‘death’ as a child, it was described as ‘going to sleep and never waking up’. I remember being both terrified and unconvinced. The thought of there being no ‘I’ didn’t make sense at all. How could ‘I’ not exist, the 8-year-old me wondered? I reassured myself that, surely, someone would discover a ‘cure’ for this thing called ‘death’ long before my time arrived.
Little did I realise that Life itself, in its own time, and in its own way, would offer up a healing elixir, a soothing balm, which would provide all the assurances I needed. And that it would come to me, after decades of striving and searching for answers, when I finally learned to ‘let go’.
Discover your Three Treasures
What would your life look like if all aspects of who you are (physical, emotional and mental) were in alignment? What if you could line up your internal energy with the energy of the universe, so that life became more about ‘flow and ease’ than about ‘effort and struggle’?
Why Qi Gong is All I Need
With so many wellness modalities, practices and products to choose from these days, it can be quite overwhelming to figure out what we need for our own healing and growth.
Some people will sample everything to find the ‘missing piece’ they’ve been searching for. And some, overwhelmed by all the information out there, or perhaps afraid, deep down, of trying something new, will ignore the stirrings of their soul and resist changing at all.
Dream a New Dream
Every day, with every thought we think, and every emotion and belief we hold on to, we are creating the future reality of our living experience.
It’s not only what enlightened masters have been saying for centuries, it is energetic law, now proven by quantum physics. It’s happening for everyone, whether they know it or not.
