Qigong Shabashi Classes
Qigong is a exercise routine that focuses on body posture, breathing and flowing movements, being in the Qiging mode is very relaxing and creates as sense of well-being.
Qigong is rooted in Budist Taoist philosophy and traditional Chinese medicine. It has been around for over 5,000 years, used daily by millions all over the world, especially by the elderly in the Far East, to improve or maintain their health and wellbeing.
Qigong involves repetitive flowing movements, that strengthen, balance, and enhance the body mind connection, therefore increasing the circulation of bodily fluids, and the subtle Qi energy through the meridians, whilst building awareness of how the body moves with mindful intention.
Working as a group gracefully, movement to movement, one breath to another, a meditative journey like a spiritual dance, a moving meditation.

Alice will be introducing attendees to the three stages of Qigong, and how to complete a Qigong Shbashi routine that can be practiced at home.
1. first stage tranquility, whereby one relaxes the mind and enters the“Qigong mode “.
The Qigong practice begins with relaxing the mind and body fully, by focussing on the breathing, allowing Qi to flow freely from head to toe, the first stage of the Qigong mode.
* Create an environment - space to be tranquil - your special space - or within nature
* Breathing Abdominally - learning to breathe deeply is the most important skill to develop for inner peace, and to focus your mind ready for practicing Qigong.
2. second stage is the Qigong flow - so that the Qi can travel freely.
This stage is all about releasing tension held in the body, area by area, muscle by muscle, which begins with full body awareness, through warm up movements and a gentle visualisation, stretching and releasing with the focus on breathing.
3. the third stage is Intention and dilation, so the Qi starts to move freely, blocks in the meridians are cleared and better overall wellbeing attained.
Allowing - through being mindfully and Intentionally aware of control of the heart and mind which comes with dedicated practice —while in the “Qigong Mode”
* Intentionally Qi flows effortless one breath to another, one movement to another, a moving meditation
* bringing the Qi to all three dantien “the elexiur for life”
* finishing by holding a Qi energy ball in front of the navel dantien
You attain a state of wellbeing, by bringing the Qi eventually to the lower dantien, mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
