Mark Heath invites us to enjoy the noble art of Qigoing (FYI it’s pronounced “chee-gong”), mindful flowing movements for wellbeing, with free hour-long classes in Higginson Park
In these modern times with so much pressure and stress, it is more important than ever to help ensure we maintain and protect both our physical and mental health and wellbeing.
Fortunately there is an incredible tool available to us, which has been used exactly for this across millennia. This gentle form is the practice of Qigong.
Qigong is the ancient Chinese art of mindful moving meditation, to reduce stress, increase energy, balance emotions, and benefit body, mind and spirit, significantly increasing and maintaining overall health and wellbeing.
A series of slow flowing movements build harmony and balance, and can get us back in touch with ourselves, nature and the world around us fully, in a healthy practical way.
Qigong is the parent of, and precursor to, both Tai Chi and Kung Fu and forms of Qigong have been practised for over 4,000 years.
Anyone of any age can learn Qigong and with instruction can commence a personal practise, performed standing or sitting as required.
We practise together every Wednesday and Saturday morning (rain or shine) at 10am, near the Cricket Pavilion, in Higginson Park, Marlow. All classes are free and last an hour. Many of us meet at the Court Gardens Cafe after to chat and have a cuppa, on the veranda. This free local project is all about building connection through community, with each other, ourselves and with nature.
Over the coming months we will be holding additional free classes also, for specific aliments such as lower back, improving balance, and other conditions, shorter sessions designed specifically for children, and over the winter will also be engaging in some free Qigong workshops indoors too at local venues.
We have practised together now for just over a month, and the group is growing beautifully, with all feedback incredible, everyone noticing the benefits instantly. If you would like to join us please feel free just to drop in. Children are most welcome equally (accompanied by an adult).
For more information please visit Wild Swan – Flowing River and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions through website.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Peace, Love and Qigong!
Mark
