As we enter a new, new era of change, with some uncertainty, some trepidation, great courage and an open heart, we trust that is okay to slowly emerge from our cocoons of protectiveness as we look forward to returning to our work, our family and friends, to play, to love and to laugh, moving from the virtual to the real, with what was considered normal and natural still natural, but no longer normal, we seek to find new ways to teach and share our healing work and touch.
Sadly once again we are required to close our beloved Well Being Centre tonight (4/11/2020) at midnight as the Government seeks to control the virus, though in this area thankfully the numbers are relatively low. The Natural Fitness Centre and the Yogalife Studio also have to close, hopefully just for a short while. We would hope that we shall return to tier 1 on Wednesday 2nd December as these measures are intended to reduce the spread of the virus and tier 1 is where we are at the moment. Our hearts go out to those whose loved ones are seriously ill or who have passed away. We hope and pray for a healthy recovery for all those who are unwell.
My classes will continue online…..see details below.
As a member of the CNHC and the Shiatsu Society I am relieved and pleased to say that I can continue to practise Shiatsu during this mini lockdown, working from home following all protocols as before in a covid safe environment.
Based on the advice the CNHC have received, CNHC Registrants in England meet the definition of “other…health services, including services relating to mental health” contained in Section 47, Part 3 of the Schedule to The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) (No. 4) Regulations 2020 and can therefore continue to practise.
This legal advice has taken into account that in Section 25E of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 practitioners on Accredited Registers are defined as engaged in work that includes the provision of healthcare.
For all those of you who love Qigong and Meditation and wish to enjoy a Qigong class from the safety of your home, here are details of all my online classes……!
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.
Sadly there shall be no Qigong outdoors on Thursdays in the Italian Gardens, Holywell until Thursday, 3rd December all being well.
“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.

Worth sharing again the inspirational and reassuring words of White Eagle, Hopi Indian Shaman with enormous gratitude
“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.”
White Eagle, Hopi Indigenous, 16th March 2020
