‘Qi Gong and Tai Qi have been life savers for me; bringing my mind and body back to a calm and balanced place. For me its like plugging myself back into life’s natural, joyful current and maintaining health’ (Barb). 

Both Qi Gong and Tai Qi are ancient health preservation and martial arts practices developed to keep warriors alive and in premium shape. With dedicated practice of Qi Gong we can develop a deep awareness of the internal body; supporting it’s vital energy (Qi) and health. Qi Gong often involves slow and gentle movements, breath work and meditation. It can also sometimes be fast, fluid and energetic whilst at other times Qi Gong is simply about being at ease standing still. Many Qi Gong movements have been developed by watching animals moving in their natural environment with efficiency and power. Tai Qi is closely related to QiGong and is also deeply rooted in ancient Chinese martial arts practices for self defence and health preservation.

‘I’ve been studying and practicing Qi Gong and Tai Qi for my own health and wellbeing for 15 years with Raymond Towers of the Spirit Warrior foundation. The mental and physical health benefits, for me, have been amazing. I love the feeling of aliveness, calm and ‘connection’ I get when I practice. It’s ongoing work in progress!’ (Barb)

Like Acupuncture, Qi Gong and Tai Qi are an aspect of Traditional Medicine that sees our bodies as a connected whole; like a web. Over time, if the movements are done regularly, with a gentle focus of mind, the body can gradually learn to ‘let go’ and release tensions and knotts within ‘the web’, creating feelings of ease, vitality and better health.
