Qigong (pronounced 'chee-gung') is a nourishing practice for body, mind and spirit.

Qi = Life energy
Gong = to cultivate

Subtly potent, Qigong is a system of Chinese medicine and the basis of most Chinese martial arts. Qigong recognises that nature is balanced and harmonious, and that we - as essential parts of nature - are also capable of balance and alignment.

When we are in balance, we feel vibrant yet calm, flowing like water through the various comings and goings of life.

Session includes: sitting guided meditation, breathing exercises, standing flowing and held forms. No special clothing or equipment needed. Mats & blankets available.

Qigong classes:
Wednesdays 10 - 11am
144 Stafford St
$5 cash or eftpos

Next class: Wednesday 24th June (no class 17th as I am away).

Thank you for practicing qigong with me.

Return to the body to get out of that mental loop.

Consciously bringing awareness to the sensations of the body in the moment is a great strategy for when you find yourself in a mental loop.

Examples of a mental loop are going around and around repetitively in your mind or projecting forward to a future that is worse than now, or going over and over a memory, obsessing over the details.

We've all been there! It's often a place of suffering, as those projections and ruminations cause emotions to arise that can feel as intense as if the event is happening right now.

Bringing awareness to the sensations of the body activates different parts of the brain and interrupts the loop. It takes patience, as that mental noise can be very loud. Our work is not to try and stop it. Rather, the aim is to place our attention elsewhere.

I like to drop awareness to my feet, as there is lots of feedback there. Feeling the socks, the shoes, the floor, the weight of my body from above. I like to feel my feet while walking. How the weight transfers, the movement of the bones and muscles.

Something to try next time you're 'in the loop'.

Namaste,
Leigh

Salin Water Bellwood Seed Shaker

New to the studio!

Naturally fallen seed shells of the Salin tree handmade into this beautiful shaker that creates a beautiful, rainforest sound, reminiscent of a stream flowing over stones.

After a wonderful weekend sharing Qigong and enjoying nature/massage/creative dance/silence in Tekapo at Breathe Tekapo Festival, I'm back on the computer in prep mode...

'Pause - Diagnose - Respond' is a presentation I'm preparing and will deliver to workshop owners and managers in Fiji at the Auto Super Shoppes conference next month. We will explore how to recognise when the human nervous system is under pressure and how to apply fast & effective techniques that allow for continued high performance over time.

I really enjoy preparing presentations and workshops for diverse audiences in a way that feels relevant and useful for that group. It helps to have an Auto Super Shoppes branch ourselves (North End Motors Geraldine), so I have first-hand knowledge of the stresses of the modern workshop environment!
