Lija Austen - Women's Wellness & Beyond

After being asked many times over the past few months, I have finally started recording qi gong videos! Launching my own new you tube channel https://www.youtube.com/

To celebrate the winter solstice, I am sharing a video of winter qi gong forms. I hope you enjoy this winter practice and can use some of the forms to create a home practice this winter.

Winter is a time to recharge and restore the body, mind and energy system. Winter is linked with the water element which brings us peace and tranquility when in balance.

With love, Lija xx

Why do I love Qi Gong so much? I first experienced this holistic modality at the Gwinganna health retreat, in the Gold Coast hinterland. I left the class feeling so peaceful. calm and alive that I decided to train to become a Qi Gong practitioner. I found a female mentor in Victoria to complete my Qi Gong Teacher Training.

I am asthmatic and have had a lot of trauma held in my cells from various life incidents. I find that the Qi Gong helps to deepen my breathing, is releasing ALL trauma from my body, is helping me to become more grounded and helps me feel such a deep sense of inner peace.

I love teaching qi gong and seeing how peaceful and grounded everyone is by the end of the practice. I would love to share it with you so you can experience the benefits too!

A symbolic gesture of my offerings that all come from the heart. There is an amazing movement called 1000 hearts of offering hearts to each other as simple acts of kindness and love.

This year have the courage to dream about a life that will make your heart and soul sing...I have seen this unfold in my own life from poverty and ill health in my 20s to wellness and abundance. Some say this is 'luck' for me I believe that the journey looks more like....

Dream - What does your soul crave? What kind of life would make your heart and soul sing? How could you expand possibilities for yourself?

Visualise - What would your dream life look and feel like? As we picture what we truly want we can start to take aligned action

Believe - When we truly believe we deserve our dream life and it is possible for us... watch it unfold. This may happen in divine timing not our own but if we continue to dream, visualise and take aligned action it will happen...

Join us for the Wellness and Visioning Mini Retreat on Sun 21st Jan to dream, visualise and start to believe....Link in bio

Being the leader of a wellness studio has made me grow in so many ways. I am being asked to step up to present and speak more and Womanspeak with Francine Barwick has been giving me the confidence to show up as my authentic self and speak with confidence. So grateful. Fran runs regular classes in the studio on Friday mornings. I couldn't recommend it highly enough 🙏
