This morning in Qigong, we worked with Verse 52 of the Tao Te Ching.

What came through so strongly was the practice of yielding.

Not giving up.
Not collapsing.
Not disappearing.

But yielding as a way of softening the grip.

Letting the body stop fighting what is ready to move.

The wind, the trees, the ocean — everything around us seemed to be showing the same thing.

Movement without force.
Strength without rigidity.
A different way through.

There was such a beautiful feeling in class today. A sense of people arriving, moving, breathing, and slowly letting go of what they had been holding.

And afterwards, a few of us stayed and chatted — which often feels like part of the practice too. That moment where no one rushes off. Where the body has softened enough for real connection to happen.

This is what I love about Qigong.

Yes, we move the body.
But often, something much deeper begins to move too.

A wall softens.
A breath deepens.
The heart has a little more space.

And sometimes the way through is not to push harder.

Sometimes the way through is to yield.

A healing session doesn’t have to happen in the same room to be deeply felt.

Online energy healing can be a beautiful option if you’re not local, if you’re travelling, if you feel more comfortable in your own space, or if your body is simply asking to be held without having to go anywhere.

Before the session, we connect over Zoom and talk through what’s present for you — physically, emotionally, energetically or spiritually.

Then you get comfortable, usually lying down somewhere quiet, and I guide the session from my space.

Just like an in-person session, I work with the body, energy field, chakras, meridians, symbols, intuitive guidance and whatever is presented.

Clients often share that they can feel the shifts clearly — warmth, tingling, emotion moving, deep rest, images, memories, clarity, or simply a sense of being held.

Energy is not limited by distance.

Sometimes being in your own home can actually help the body receive more easily.

Online Qigong Energy Healing sessions are available for those who feel called to work with me from wherever they are.

A few weeks ago, I shared that I felt like I was moving through a liminal space.

Not quite where I was.
Not quite where I was going.

At the time, it felt a bit like fog.

Not wrong.
Not bad.
Just unclear.

But something has shifted.

Not in a dramatic, suddenly-everything-is-clear kind of way. More like my body has stopped bracing for answers.

Things that once would have moved me quickly into anxiety don’t seem to take me there in the same way.

There is more trust now.

Not because I can control what is unfolding, but because I can feel myself changing within it.

My frequency feels different. I feel more attuned to the Earth, to her rhythm, to her flow.

And this is what I keep coming back to in Qigong and healing.

We don’t always need to force the next step.

Sometimes we need to create enough safety, stillness and space for the next step to quietly meet us.

This is the space I keep returning to in my own practice, and the space I hold for others through Qigong and energy healing.

Not force.
Not striving.
A quieter kind of trust.

Something I’ve been noticing a lot with clients lately is how hard it can be to receive when the body is out of practice.

To receive support.
To receive love.
To receive softness.
To receive the feeling of being held.

For many people, receiving doesn’t feel natural at first. The body may brace. The heart may protect. The mind may try to understand, manage, or stay in control.

So in healing sessions, we don’t force the heart open.

We create a space of safety.
We soften gently.
We listen with interested curiosity, not judgement.
We allow the body to remember that love does not need to be pushed in.

It can arrive as a flow.

A session with me is not about making something happen. It’s about creating the conditions where your body can begin to soften, reconnect, and receive what is already waiting for you.

Qigong Energy Healing sessions are available in Freshwater and online.

Winter is not a season to force something new into being.

It is a season to pause, rest, reflect and listen for what is quietly forming beneath the surface.

In Chinese Medicine, winter is connected with the Water element, Kidney energy, Yin, stillness and restoration. It reminds us that we are not designed for constant output — even when the world around us keeps asking us to stay busy.

I’ve written a new blog exploring the wisdom of winter, including:

• why your body may be asking you to slow down
• the connection between winter, Water and the Kidneys
• simple ways to support yourself through the colder months
• how Qigong and energy healing can help you return to the body
• the invitation to move from effort into receiving

Sometimes we don’t need another thing to do.

We need permission to honour what the body already knows.

I’ll share the link in the first comment.

There’s something very special about Wednesday morning Qigong.

Maybe it’s the earlier start.
Maybe it’s the softness of the morning light.
Maybe it’s the way we arrive before the day has fully gathered momentum.

But this class always seems to have a beautifully contemplative quality.

We move gently.
We breathe.
We listen.
We let the body remember that it doesn’t need to rush into the day.

And by the end, everyone seems to leave with that same feeling — softer, clearer, lighter, and quietly fabulous.

This is the beauty of regular practice.

Not forcing ourselves to feel better.
Not pushing through.
Just creating a space where the body can come back to centre, one breath and one movement at a time.

This particular class is very special to me as I had a dear friend visiting - who is also part of my online class on Tuesdays. It felt like bringing my community together. 💖

There is something deeply powerful about being met exactly where you are.

Not needing to explain everything.
Not needing to hold it all together.
Not needing to have the answers.

Just a space where you can be heard, supported, and gently reconnect with yourself.

I’m so grateful to receive feedback like this:

“Working with Claire has been truly transformational. From the moment I walked in, I felt safe, supported, and genuinely understood. Claire has an incredible ability to connect in a way that makes you feel completely comfortable being vulnerable. Each session has helped me release what I’d been holding onto, reconnect with myself, and create meaningful shifts in my life. I’m deeply grateful for Claire and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking genuine healing, growth, and transformation ”

Thank you, Ivonne, for your trust and for sharing your experience so generously.

If you’re feeling called to reconnect with yourself and explore what your body, heart and energy field may be communicating, I’d love to support you.

Receiving doesn’t always mean something dramatic happens.

Sometimes receiving looks like your shoulders dropping.

Your breath deepening.

Your belly softening.

Your mind becoming a little less busy.

Your body realising it doesn’t have to hold everything together quite so tightly.

This is why I love gentle embodied practice.

Through Qigong, energy healing and grounding, we create the conditions for the nervous system to soften — so the body can begin to reconnect with its own deeper wisdom.

Move from effort into receiving.

It’s really hard for the body to receive when it doesn’t feel safe.

This is something I notice again and again in Qigong and energy healing sessions.

When we create a felt sense of safety in the body — through breath, grounding, gentle movement and connection — something begins to soften.

There’s often this beautiful moment where the body lets go.

Not because it has been forced.

But because it finally feels safe enough to receive.

Sometimes what we’re receiving is peace.
Sometimes it’s support.
Sometimes it’s the unconditional love of Mother Earth.

And honestly, it lights up my heart every time I witness someone connect with that.

This is the space I love holding.

A space to soften your nervous system, reconnect with your body, and access the deeper intelligence already within you.

Through Qigong, energy healing and embodied practice — in Freshwater & online.

I had coffee yesterday with a group of women I love.

We are all very different, which is probably part of why it works so beautifully.

At one point the conversation turned to how “sparky” things feel lately. How quick people seem to be to react, become nasty or turn on each other.

One of the women shared a situation where someone had been particularly hurtful towards her.

As we spoke, I found myself gently reflecting back to her that she didn’t need to meet nastiness with more nastiness in order to protect herself.

That she could breathe through the heaviness of what she was feeling.
Stand up for herself.
Create a boundary.
Speak clearly.

Without needing to become reactive.

And the most beautiful part was watching her light up when she realised there was another way.

Not through bypassing.
Not through silence.
Not through becoming “spiritual”.

Just through presence.

It felt like such a beautiful reminder that healing doesn’t always need to look dramatic or mystical.

Sometimes it simply looks like becoming aware enough to choose differently.

Claire ❤️
