A beautiful day of Qigong in Bellingen

Last Saturday we gathered at the Bellingen Showground for a full day Qigong workshop with visiting teacher Simon Blow.

Simon has been teaching Qigong for over 30 years and has been leading study trips to China for more than two decades, introducing students to traditional Qigong masters there. It was a privilege to spend the day learning with him.

During the workshop we learned two forms.

The first was a Longevity Qigong form — a gentle flowing practice that feels especially supportive for the lungs as we move into autumn.

The second was a Wu Dang Sitting Ba Duan Jin form, which is quite unique because the movements can be practised while sitting, making the practice accessible and deeply calming.

It was a wonderful group and by the end of the day everyone felt relaxed, balanced and harmonious.

Thank you Simon for sharing your knowledge with us, and thank you to everyone who came along and made the day so special.

If you’re curious about Qigong, we practice regularly in Bellingen and new people are always welcome.

Qigong — Monday Evening

5.00pm–6.00pm

Uniting Church Hall

Tonight is the first of our new evening sessions.

If your day has been full…
if your shoulders are carrying it…
if your mind is still moving…
This hour is for unwinding.

Gentle Qigong.
Simple breath coordination.

Clear, steady instruction.

We finish with ten quiet minutes
so the body can settle
and self-regulate before you head home.

Nothing complicated.
No experience needed.

Come as you are.
Bring a friend if you like.

Let the body lead.

Join us for Qigong in the Park, every Friday from 12:30-1:30 pm, under the shady trees outside Bellingen library.

Qigong at Uniting Church Hall, Bellingen — Mondays, 5:00–6:00pm

In Chinese medicine, health is not created by force.
It appears when the body is given the conditions to regulate itself.

On Monday evenings, we practise Qigong inside the quiet of Uniting Church Hall.

The movements are slow and deliberate.
They open the joints, settle the breath, and allow the nervous system to soften its grip.

Nothing is pushed.
Nothing is imposed.

Instead, we create the conditions in which circulation can resume, tension can release, and clarity can return naturally.

This is not a performance.
It is a weekly return.

Suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

Mondays, 5:00–6:00pm
Uniting Church Hall, Bellingen

You are welcome to join.

🔥 Year of the Fire Horse – 2026

Today begins the Year of the Fire Horse.

In the Chinese 60-year cycle, this combination — Bing Wu (丙午) — occurs only once every six decades.

Fire over Horse.
Yang over Yang.

The Horse represents movement, freedom, independence, speed, visibility.

Fire represents brilliance, charisma, passion, expression.

Together they create intensity.

The last Fire Horse year was 1966 — a year that ignited social and cultural upheaval around the world.

The Cultural Revolution began in China.

Globally, protest movements surged.

Old structures were challenged. Energy ran high.

Before that, 1906 — another Fire Horse year — saw dramatic global shifts: the San Francisco earthquake reshaped a city overnight; political movements accelerated across continents.

Sudden change. Powerful momentum.

The Fire Horse does not whisper.

It runs.

Traditionally this year is said to favour boldness, independence and decisive action — but it also carries a warning:

Unregulated Fire burns out.

Unbridled speed loses direction.

In Chinese medicine, Fire must be tended.

Strong Yang needs containment.

Movement needs form.

That is where Qigong becomes essential.

⸻

As we enter this rare Fire Horse year, I’m beginning a new Monday evening Qigong class indoors.

For the next month we’ll practise:

• Taiji Qigong Shibashi
• Six Unity movements — aligning inner direction with outer environment

The Horse runs outward.
Autumn gathers inward.

Our practice balances both.

📍 St Andrew’s Uniting Church
🕔 Mondays 5–6pm
💰 $10 or $5 concession

This class is in addition to the weekly Friday 12.30 Qigong in the Park session.

Let the year run —
but let the body lead.

🌿 Qigong February Practice 🌿

Friday, 12.30pm, we practise.

The days still feel warm, but the season is beginning to turn.
Summer does not end suddenly. It eases.
The light softens. The air gathers.
Rain falls.

This month we continue with Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi (18 Movements) — steady, flowing movements that regulate breath and circulation without strain. We are also practising the Six Unity movements, adjusting to the environment as it shifts between heat and cool.

Nature is not rigid.
It adjusts.

If it is warm, we open without scattering.
If it is cool, we gather without contracting.
If the wind moves, we move with it.

Practice is not about doing more.
It is about interfering less.

Come and stand on the earth.
Breathe.
Let your body find its rhythm again.

All welcome.
