💫How to practice the Qigong exercise “Shaking the nine gates”💫

Feet are shoulder width apart and we start by shaking our hands as if they are wet. Then start engaging the elbows, shoulders, hips, knees and the ankles by gently bouncing up and down on your heels.

Inhale at the front through the nose and keeping the hips facing the front we turn to the side and look over the shoulder while exhaling. Come back to the front, inhale and turn to the other side. Do this for at least 1 minute or more for maximum benefit.

The nine gates are: Wrists, Elbows, Shoulders, Hips, Knees, Ankles, Cervical Spine (Neck), Thoracic Spine (Mid-Back), Lumbar Spine (Lower Back)

This is a foundational Qigong exercise meant to activate your Qi (energy) and getting it to circulate freely in your body. It’s a great exercise to loosen up tensions in the body, activate the circulation and calm the nervous system.

We had a lovely Qigong class this morning at Birches Park surrounded by so many bird species including the osprey couple that is nesting next to the gazebo and a common loon calling by the lake. Join us next Sunday June 21 💫 https://www.facebook.com/share/1Bj4kAPm2V/?mibextid=wwXIfr

My first Qigong exercise reel! I kept it at one minute! But here is the full description of the steps and the benefits of this exercise. As a climber, this exercise has been really beneficial 😊

1) Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, keeping your shoulders relaxed. Keep your elbows bent at about 90 degrees, and your hands at shoulder height.

2) Fold the fingers of both hands inward and place your thumbs over your fingernails, so the thumbs are gently holding the nails and creating light resistance.

3) With both hands at the same time, push your hands forward as you extend your fingers outward against the resistance of your thumbs, as though the thumbs will not let go. Feel the stretch through the palms and fingers while maintaining the bent elbows and hands at shoulder height.

4) Release and repeat for multiple sets of ten repetitions. During each repetition, gently bounce on your heels.

The purpose of the Flick a Ball Qigong exercise is to help keep the hands healthy, reduce swelling and joint pain, and improve circulation. Practiced regularly, it can also help improve grip strength over time while maintaining mobility and flexibility in the hands and fingers.

I am ready to welcome you into the beautiful space I have created for my Reiki clients. If you feel called to experience an in-person energy healing session, you can book a 30-minute or 60-minute session through my Sitka Healing Energy page.

I would be honoured to guide you through a Reiki session accompanied by my healing drum.
If you’ve been feeling tired, nervous, anxious, out of alignment, or simply in need of deep rest, relaxation, and recalibration of your nervous system, this experience may be for you. ❤️

You don’t need to be spiritual or have any prior experience with energy work. Reiki meets you where you are and flows where it is needed most.

Energy healing is not about believing—it is about experiencing 💫

I would like to introduce you to my medicinal drum, which I painted under the guidance of Mi’kmaq artist Allan Syliboy here in Nova Scotia. The bowhead whale, one of my totem animals, is featured on the drum and holds deep personal significance for me. I was privileged to spend nearly a decade studying this Arctic whale species during my Ph.D. and postdoctoral research, investigating its spatial movements, diving behaviour, and diet in the Eastern Canadian Arctic and West Greenland.

Morning qigong practice! This is called “embracing the heart” or “embracing the tree” (also known as Zhan Zhuang). A fundamental and transformative standing pose to build and replenish your Qi (vital life force energy). It actually helps recover from fatigue overtime.

Are you curious about what Qigong is—and what Zen Wellness Medical Qigong is all about?

Qigong is an ancient Chinese practice that supports both physical and spiritual well-being. “Qi” means energy—the vital life force that flows through all living things—and “Gong” means skill or cultivation. Together, Qigong is the practice of cultivating and strengthening this life energy.

Practicing Qigong involves exercises, breathwork, and mindful movement to optimize energy within the body, mind, and spirit. The benefits are wide-ranging and may include improved health, increased longevity, reduced stress and anxiety, better balance, and a higher quality of life.

There are many styles of Qigong, but at its core, it is about nurturing and balancing energy to support overall health and vitality.

The Qigong classes I teach are based on the Zen Wellness Medical Qigong system. Rooted in Taoist alchemy and supported by Western science, this approach uses movement, posture, and breath to nourish, restore, and strengthen both the physical and energetic bodies.
