Emerging from our cocoons of protectiveness, from the virtual to the real, Qigong outside, inside, virtually and Shiatsu on the move……

by Nick Neter on July 27, 2020


As we enter a new era of change, with much uncertainty, some trepidation, courage and open heartedness, trusting that is okay to emerge safely from our cocoons of protectiveness, we look forward to returning to work, from the virtual to the real, when what was considered normal and natural is still natural but no longer normal,we find new ways to teach and share our healing touch.

We are now able to return to the spaces and places we love to work as safely as possible, healthily and with joy in our hearts. We have received protocols for working safely with Shiatsu from the Shiatsu Society fully in accordance with the government guidelines. Health Centres, Spas and Gyms are allowed to open from Saturday, 25th July with clear protocols and restrictions and our beloved Well Being Centre opened on Monday, 27th July, the Big Yurt limited to 4 students in a private class or small workshop, the Small yurt available for 1 to 1 treatments and our lawn covered with a small, open sided marquee for outdoor classes and workshops for 11 students. Details to follow on http://www.glynleighwellbeingcentre.com

For all those of you who love Qigong and Meditation and wish to enjoy a Qigong class from home, outside at the Italian Gardens and the Well Being Centre, inside at the Yogalife studio here are details of outdoor,indoor and online classes……! Never has there been so much choice!With the wonders of modern technology all classes are weekly events for the month of August.

If online is new for you, please be patient and gentle with yourself as you get used to joining classes in this way and with me as I get used to it….Open to all, complete beginners welcome.

I am offering Qigong outdoors every Thursday in August from the Italian Gardens, Holywell at 10am, and 12 noon. Each session is 45 minutes long, all places must be booked with me via text or whatsapp and confirmed by me please……For all classes in person I would ask that anyone with symptoms or been in contact with someone who has symptoms does not attend please. Many thanks. I shall be there whatever the weather. I very much look forward to to sharing Qigong with you online or in the flesh…….

“Touch your inner space, which is nothingness, as silent and empty as the sky; it is your inner sky. Once you settle down in your inner sky, you have come home, and a great maturity arises in your actions, in your behaviour. Then whatever you do has grace in it. Then whatever you do is a poetry in itself. You live poetry; your walking becomes dancing, your silence becomes music.” ~Osho

As you become more sensitive to Qi in your Qigong practice, you will become more sensitive to Qi in your everyday life.This opens new avenues of perception and awareness.

“This moment humanity is going through can now be seen as a portal and as a hole.  The decision to fall into the hole or go through the portal is up to you.  If they repent of the problem and consume the news 24 hours a day, with little energy, nervous all the time, with pessimism, they will fall into the hole.  But if you take this opportunity to look at yourself, rethink life and death, take care of yourself and others, you will cross the portal.  Take care of your home, take care of your body.  Connect with the middle body of your spiritual House.  Connect to the egregor of your spiritual home.  Body, house, medium body, spiritual house, all this is synonymous, that is to say the same.  When you are taking care of one, you are taking care of everything else.  Do not lose the spiritual dimension of this crisis, have the aspect of the eagle, which from above, sees the whole, sees more widely.  There is a social demand in this crisis, but there is also a spiritual demand.  The two go hand in hand.  Without the social dimension, we fall into fanaticism.  But without the spiritual dimension, we fall into pessimism and lack of meaning. You were prepared to go through this crisis.  Take your toolbox and use all the tools at your disposal.  Learn about resistance with indigenous and African peoples: we have always been and continue to be exterminated.  But we still haven’t stopped singing, dancing, lighting a fire and having fun.  Don’t feel guilty about being happy during this difficult time.  You don’t help at all by being sad and without energy.  It helps if good things emanate from the Universe now.  It is through joy that one resists.  Also, when the storm passes, you will be very important in the reconstruction of this new world.  You need to be well and strong.  And, for that, there is no other way than to maintain a beautiful, happy and bright vibration.  This has nothing to do with alienation.  This is a resistance strategy.  In shamanism, there is a rite of passage called the quest for vision.  You spend a few days alone in the forest, without water, without food, without protection.  When you go through this portal, you get a new vision of the world, because you have faced your fears, your difficulties … This is what is asked of you.  Let them take advantage of this time to perform their vision seeking rituals.  What world do you want to build for yourself?  For now, this is what you can do: serenity in the storm.  Calm down and pray.  Everyday.  Establish a routine to meet the sacred every day.  Good things emanate, what you emanate now is the most important thing.  And sing, dance, resist through art, joy, faith and love.”
