Mindful Qigong – Moving with Compassion
Mindful QiGong Level 2 – Compassion ~ Thursday Evenings Online
Bring Balance to your Body and Mind
I can feel a real difference in the body from doing the movement
I loved the opportunity to practice movement mindfully and to be learning a style of movement that has been benefitting people’s mental health for hundreds of years.
Tutor has gentle, all-embracing style which fosters learning and acceptance.
The course opened my eyes (and mind!) to ways of integrating movement with sitting practice, and how beneficial that could be, as well as exploring the body/mind connection
i enjoyed the opportunity to increase my body awareness through the practice of the body scan particularly as it seemed appropriate for being aware of the deep stabilising muscle of the spine both upper and lower.
I have been incapacitated because of pain created by ‘broken’ tendons for 2 years. I thought and still think that Qigong is helpful with this condition.
The movement enhances my mindfulness practice
It’s great we are able to use Zoom to do all this and meet everyone, plus have the recordings which are invaluable
I loved being able to move softly and experience becoming softer each time, and not to just to think that once softness is achieved, there is no where else to go.
That’s the beauty of it, listening intently to the body and seeing what it wants to do and how it wants to flow through the many layers of that softness. it feels very freeing.

“The body is not experienced as a solid object but as the ‘experience of sensing’, floating weightlessly like a cloud in the open, empty, loving sky of awareness” Rupert Spira
“The Taoist book Saikdondan says: The rest in rest is not the real rest; there can be rest even in movement. An Ancient worthy says “Meditation in movement is a hundred, a thousand, a million times superior to meditation at rest”. Lopez

What to Expect:
- This course follows on from the Mindful Qigong Course where we introduce new Compassion practices into the Qigong movement flows, however anyone can join the course.
- You will learn new qigong sequences which incorporate compassion practices from the Level 2 Compassion Course.
- We will begin to become more aware of trapped emotions inside the body and begin to help these release with Mindfulness and the ancient arts of gentle Yoga, Qigong and working with the meridians that are familiar in Chinese Medicine.
- You will learn some mini sequences to do at a desk or in a chair.
- Cultivate awareness of the body throughout any movement, including how to be more mindful when running, cycling and swimming etc.
- In our Mindfulness Training – awareness of the body helps us to remain present and can reveal a multitude of emotions that we are experiencing or even hiding.
- This new awareness provides us with the opportunity to give some space and kindness to any pain or tight sensations we are experiencing and allow healing to happen and the movement helps to shift the trapped energy.
This course counts as Continued Professional Development (CPD) for Mindfulness teachers wishing to learn more about mindful movement in their practice and teaching.
If you wish to continue after the course, once a year there is the opportunity to deepen with the Mindful Qigong with Insight.
