Qi-News

Hello Healing Communi-Qi,

Wonderful to share healing movements and meditation together. I also shared some learning in the Master of Qi conference and we talked about other tips to help the body adjust to new season and the irritation/impatience/reactivity that can come up in us. Remember, as you read this, you can massage your hegu point (between the base of your thumb and index finger)  for any pain and any headaches and very calming to self-massage in your day.

Other healing methods in day for Liver Energy System:

1) Yin Yang water - half boiled water/half room temperature

2) cupping arm at 90 degree angle below the elbow - helps with issues related to liver - skin rashes, constipation, thyroid and lymph and liver system.

I’ll also share a short summary from the last month of classes:

Earth Day - we spoke about taking responsibility for our thoughts and words as they have energy. Thanking the earth we live on and connecting to green vibration and color through plants, wearing green clothes and focusing on what makes you happy. Scientists at the Heart Math Institute have shared that when we are in that heart coherent state, our hearts beat at a particular frequency that facilitates gratitude, happiness, and better communication.  It also helps the planet. Our personal coherence, helps our social coherence and the global coherence.

I have mentioned I have created a community for meditation on the Heart Math app - Global Coherence App - it was created by the institute to connect people from all over the world who have a sincere desire to add heart to their daily lives and the world itself. You can download this app on your phone and then you can access many meditations for themes and for coherence when you need it. Our group is called: Healing Communi-Qi and the access code is CalmOcean81:

Just a simple beautiful way to add more love energy to the planet. No pressure to do - just a share if it feels right.

We also shared Spring Feng Shui tips to invite new energy in. By balancing our living energy we help balance the energy in ourselves.

- Declutter front hallway - make sure windows are clear from objects

- open front and back door and allow new energy

- consider adding some green - a new plant by computer or front hallway - that makes you smile when you arrive home.

May you have some ‘happy’ spring energy in your day. I write this while I sip on my Yin-Yang water:)

Hello Healing Communi-Qi,

I hope you are having a peaceful evening. I went for a walk tonight to connect with the sky.

In last night’s class we spoke of some Spring Feng Shui tips for bringing in new energy.

- connecting with the color and vibration of green

- each day consider what makes you happy

- cleaning front hallway and leaving windows clear of clutter

- sweeping front area

- opening both back and front door areas to allow air to move through

We also shared S.F.Q tips for colds and allergies.

1) Massaging the C7 for colds. Take your hands and squeeze for 3 seconds and let go and do this 9 times.

2) Taking middle and index finger and going up the sides of the nose and down to the corner of the mouth for 9 times.

If you want more description of cold/allergy tips please email me and I’m happy to provide more details.

I also share a Meditation reflecting what is going on in the sky and allowing some strong visualization.

May it feel peaceful in your evening.

Hello Healing Communi-Qi,

We brought in a focus on the basics of Qigong. Always good to have beginner’s mind:

1) Energy Breathing (which calms you and helps with sleep at night)

2) S.M.I.L.E - sends healing endorphins to your body and calms your nervous system

3) Lower Dantian - our essence, life force

We also brought in a rainbow meditation for healing our whole body. This is a deeper level meditation and we focused on a healing rainbow coming in through our crown through our feet. The seven chakras match the seven colors of the rainbow and Qigong practice can allow these blocked channels to open.

Spring Forest Qigong Tip for pain and connecting to liver/gallbladder:

There are two points for this focus and we focused on one. If you have pain or even feel irritated in your day you can massage that point between thumb and index finger called Hegu. You can massage here and imagine healing energy going into this point and helping with pain or irritation.

We will focus on the foot point next week and it helps with any anger, insomnia and urine leakage issues.

Remember, we can connect to qigong healing daily without a whole practice. The spring focus is on releasing Anger, impatience, irritation so you could massage your hegu point and say to yourself: ‘my channels are open, my blockages are gone, I feel happy and peaceful. Happy peaceful energy is my focus and what I focus upon expands.’

See what happens when you practice in your day with self massage and a healing emotion. Remember your smile

And deeper breaths.

Hello Healing Communi-Qi: Spring and Fresh Beginnings

A LITTLE SELF REFLECTION FOR THIS SEASON

Practicing qigong is so simple and so powerful. You cannot do it wrong.

You can only do it good, better, or best – Master Chunyi Lin

In Spring Forest Qigong, we work with our energy, and we can learn to feel calmer and deal with stress better. We also help our own healing emotionally and physically.

One of the key lessons of S.F.Q. is to trust, relax and let go and feel deeper into emptiness and energy. Have you felt a deeper connection to energy/intuition since practising?

What is important for you to focus upon in spring? What keeps your vibration strong and uplifted?

No matter what pain or difficult circumstances is happening, can you still take time to consider when you feel happiest and bring that into your day with pausing and feeling into it or using your imagination to go there? Or can you take time to do Energy Breathing to calm your nervous system and help with sleep and stress?

We also shared a heart math lock-in technique you can do in your day to re-set.

Note: in spring forest qigong we learn to work more with our hearts and imagination and move out of over-thinking.

Examples of emotions and five elements and healing connection

* IF I FEEL ANGER – I KNOW I CAN RE-SET BY FOCUSING UPON HAPPINESS – LIVER SYSTEM

* IF I FEEL EXCESSIVE EMOTIONS – I CAN FOCUS UPON JOY – HEART SYSTEM

* IF I FEEL ANXIETY OR WORRY – I CAN FOCUS UPON PEACE – DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

* IF I FEEL SAD OR DEPRESSED – I CAN FOCUS UPON CONTENTMENT – LUNG SYSTEM

* IF I FEEL FEAR – I CAN FOCUS UPON GRATITUDE – KIDNEY SYSTEM

Ways to Connect to Ener-Qi Daily:

Consider writing a few things down each day that you love – or feel grateful for – and FEEL them.

If you would like to commit to bringing in more qi in your day – even for 2 minutes- you can pick a move or emotion and practice feeling that. I can offer tailored suggestions or share 100-day commitment plan too.

Please feel free to let me know if you would like any more resources or information to enhance your mindful qi journey.

Hello Healing Communi-Qi,

Hope you give yourself some reflective time around what you would like to bring in your life this spring. The attachment I sent yesterday will be helpful to consider the seasonal change and what you want to bring in.

We honor ourselves and this transition by allowing what needs to arise in the seasonal transition. Chinese Medicine talks about how we can feel irritable or impatient

at this time of year. We move from the water element and kidney energy system to the liver energy system, which includes eyes, tendons, ligaments, tendons.. This is a time to adjust so more stretching, drinking yin-yang water and considering what makes you feel happy is very good. We learn to work more with nature in Qigong and that helps our mind and body be more in alignment.

You can also practice the Yin-Yang Movement (moving hands elliptically) as you bring in happiness and breathe out anger, impatience.

I also share the cupping exercise an inch in from the elbow.

S.F.Q. Tip: Hold your left arm at a 90-degree angle with your forearm in front of your body and parallel to the floor. Hold your right hand like a cup, as if it were holding water.

Gently but crisply (cup) the area on the top of your forearm that is one inch down from your elbow. Do this repeatedly.

How long: 2 minutes on each arm. Three times a day or more.

Helps with: constipation, skin rashes, eye pain, thyroid conditions, liver problems, lymph system stimulation.

As we did a meditation in class, I have also shared the spring equinox meditation for anyone wanting to do some mindfulness while we are in this spring equinox energy:

Also, if you are needing any extra support in this transitional energy, you can book a qi healing or coaching session.

Here are details and resources: https://www.steffiblackcoaching.com/plans-pricing

Thank you to all of you for your ongoing commitment to qi healing in your life, and welcome to new annual members - I am grateful - and it’s lovely to welcome to some new faces too.
