real difference in the body from doing the movement[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]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.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Tutor has gentle, all-embracing style which fosters learning and acceptance.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]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[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]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.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]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.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The movement enhances my mindfulness practice[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]It’s great we are able to use Zoom to do all this and meet everyone, plus have the recordings which are invaluable[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]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.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]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.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/_s2dCYWnKtM” align=”center” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]\nThe Mindful Body – Compassion- Learn to tap into the wisdom of the Body\nHelp release trapped emotions in the body with Mindfulness, Qi Gong, Tai Chi & Gentle Yoga\n5 Weekly Evening Sessions 7pm – 9pm starting Tuesday 25th June -Tuesday 23rd July 2024\nWith Jacky Seery\nComplete with videos to download and manual.\n“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\n“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\nAbout the Tutor:\nCourse tutor Jacky Seery undertook her QIgong, Yoga and Tai Chi Mastership training over 10 years ago and taught for several years before undertaking her MSc Mindfulness training. Jacky skilfully interweaves the ancient practices of mind and body bringing together a gentle programme of healing and wellbeing suitable for every body.\nWhat to Expect:\n\nThis 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.\nYou will learn new qigong sequences which incorporate compassion practices from the Level 2 Compassion Course.\nThis course will include gentle, easy to follow mindful movement – using Qi Gong, Yoga, Tai Chi and Meridian Stretches.\nYou will learn short, easy to follow movements and sequences as we go on a journey bringing mindfulness and compassion to every move.\nWe 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.\nYou will learn some mini sequences to do at a desk or in a chair.\nCultivate awareness of the body throughout any movement, including how to be more mindful when running, cycling and swimming etc.\nThe sessions will include sitting mindfulness practices as we transition from sitting to movement and back to sitting.\nWe will also practice a compassionate body scan and explore how to move our bodies with kindness.\nIn 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.\nThis 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.\n\nThe course will take place on Zoom over 5 Tuesday evening sessions from 7-9pm.\nThis course counts as Continued Professional Development (CPD) for Mindfulness teachers wishing to learn more about mindful movement in their practice and teaching.\n \nIf you wish to continue after the course, once a year there is the opportunity to deepen with the Mindful Qigong with Insight.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”28344″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nRead Jacky’s Mindful Movement Blog ( https://www.mindfulnessassociation.net/team-blogs/mindful-movement/ )\nRead Science of Mindfulness – Benefits of Mindful Movement Blog ( https://www.mindfulnessassociation.net/research-blogs/benefits-of-mindful-movement/ )\nRead The Power of Mindful Movement: Scientifically Proven Benefits of Mindfulness and Qigong Blog ( https://www.mindfulnessassociation.net/team-blogs/the-power-of-mindful-movement/ )\nSAMPLE QIGONG PRACTICE\n[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/nKQxr_pNYwQ”][vc_column_text]You can find more short Qigong Practices on our YouTube Channel – click here to join in.  ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn39xstlQJ4ty38f48BDfK3piiuG6IMGd )[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n11 Minute Qigong Warm Up\n[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/5J3vMTM0Zpw”][/vc_column][/vc_row]\n URL:https://www.mindfulnessassociation.net/course/mindful-qigong-level-2-compassion/ CATEGORIES:Mindful Body,Mindfulness for Life,Online Courses LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.mindfulnessassociation.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mindful-QiGong-Moving-with-Compassion-2.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
