December Qi Chat Episode 81 -Climbing the Mountain

The topic for this month is "Climbing the Mountain - Let's Practice" 🏔️

Sometimes in life we are faced with challenges like:
- needing to work a little longer
- taking care of people
- entertaining during busy times
- giving energy out when we are feeling depleted

Sometimes we are prepared for the energy output, but not always. Managing our Qi and energy is one of the most important aspects of good health in Qigong.

In this Qi Chat we will talk about the feeling of standing at the base of a mountain, preparing ourselves to climb all the way to the top.
