The topic for this month is:
Exploring the Qigong Journey - Find and resonate with your Practice 😌
There are many forms of Qigong and they are all offer great value. In the Communi-Qi we try and offer an approach that is a blend of several concepts and 'tenets' so you can find a practice style that you resonate with and deeply enjoy. This is the Qigong Journey!
In this Qi Chat we will discuss:
- what is the Qigong journey
- what are the intentions and goals of practice
- the different approaches to Qigong practice and their strengths and limitations
- how to make your Qigong 'right' for you
- what to focus on, which routines to learn, and how to progress in your practice
Then, we will all practice the Classic 18 together!
