  • ENERGY UPDATE | ENERGY RECHARGE
    Feb 14 2024

    Are you feeling weak or low in energy?

    If you’re feeling drained and uninspired, Qi gong with its gentle movements, breathwork and visualizations can replenish your energy.

    Join us in March for this all-level practice to:

    ☯ Increase blood circulation
    ☯ Oxygenate the muscles
    ☯ Exercise the cardiovascular system
    ☯ Relieve stress and tension
    ☯ INCREASE ENERGY

    During March, learn to build and move energy through the meridians, reducing pain and fatigue so that you can feel bright and fresh, excited for the possibilities of what life can bring to you. Pain, inflammation and exhaustion can occur when there are blockages in the body or when there is not enough energy to flow blood or Qi, and it begins to stagnate. Even viral fragments from past illnesses can remain lodged in the fascia of the body causing pain, fatigue, nausea, brain fog, anxiety and joint stiffness.

    Your body has twelve main meridians, or energetic passageways, that pass through the top layer of skin and fascia right down deep through the organs, bones and flesh of your body. These meridians are how your energy Qi/Chi flows through your body.

    Qi/Chi is Yang, warm and energizing / Blood is Yin, cooling and nourishing. Just like blood is transported through veins and arteries, energy is transported through the meridian system. Where our attention goes, energy grows and blood flows.
