THE ART OF QIGONG : WATER ELEMENT AND FASCIA

Thursday 27th Nov at 2pm

What is Fascia and how does it relate to the Meridian system, especially WATER and WOOD. "Fascia intelligence water communication piezoelectric" Both systems lay beneath the skin layer and the fascia is known as an organ in its own right -- a NEW organ system with a complex sensory role. Much like the skin is the largest organ (METAL ELEMENT). I like to think of them both, one surface level, one beneath the surface.

"Fascia is this continuous web of connective tissue that envelops all muscles, bones, organs, and nerves in the body, providing structure, support, and a pathway for communication."

More than that Fascia acts as a intelligent communication system that senses and responds to different stimuli, including movement, pressure, tension/pain, light, sound, proprioception, emotions. For example the fascia system senses anger strong in tissue, this becomes rigid created muscular pain, causes a blockage and Qi Stagnation.

The Fascia and WATER ELEMENT when balanced and flowing acts like an information superhighway. Fascia is highly hydrated, embedded in a gel-like "ground substance" rich with water. Movement generate Electricity (piezoelectricity). So Water Element Fascia and Electricity (Fire Element) communicate via collagen fibres to create the Bodies Qi Battery.

So we need Water, hydration +good constant supply of collagen which declines with age + Movement to act as the Qi Battery.

In today's class we will be supporting the Kidney Water Winter Element (Kidney Channel) and combining Fascial Movements to boost our Qi Battery. In Qigong we also use techniques to stimulate the flow from gentle knocking, tapping, cupping, slapping with rice bags (known as pai-da), gu-sha scraping, bamboo rollers, drumming, holding acupuncture point locations and all the way up to Iron Fist (striking in martial arts).

So this is not just a form of 'torture' its specific purpose is to move the Qi through the Skin (above) and Fascia (below the surface).

🔥BURNOUT IN BUSINESS🔥

Burnout is a theme topic that I have been focussing on with many different areas, from hormonal burnout, to parental burnout, generalised burnout but also very specific burnout.

A growing and rising concern is 🔥BURNOUT🔥 in the highs and lows of being a entrepreneur or working in businesses with a top down 'Dream Big' ambitious vision who make key strategic decisions. We can clearly see the attraction--who doesn't dream of creating a business that allows them to achieve both personal and financial freedom, with complete autonomy. However, the journey can sometimes lead to unexpected exhaustion, known as entrepreneurial BURNOUT.

There are certainly many out there that may fit the bill, possibly the most well known visionary himself. He is not the exception and there are many ordinary people striving to succeed with high-level aspiration setting up new music endeavours, fish stall owners, AI bloggers, App designers, vintage car sellers, traders, trainers with niche ideas for new exciting businesses.

"Entrepreneurship is the process of designing, launching, and managing a new business, which involves identifying opportunities, creating new products or services, and taking on financial risks to generate profit and value".

Many entrepreneurial people are taking a 'TOP DOWN' approach with their business ventures and/or choosing to work in business environments with top down management ethos.

From an archetypal point of view, better known as :

The CEO. The Strategist, The Rebel, The Explorer, Navigator, The Visionary, The Self Promotor.

The concern is that 'top-down strategy led by an entrepreneur' often leads to 🔥BURNOUT🔥 simple because it funnels all decision-making, responsibility, and pressure onto a single individual, leading to overwork, isolation, decision fatigue, risk taking, chasing the 6 'c's and having feelings of lack of support.

FAKE IT, TILL YOU MAKE IT .....

You make it to the top, then what--its a case of staying at the top.

Burnout creeps up on you gradually. It’s characterised by ongoing fatigue, lack of motivation, and feelings of inadequacy, feeling like a fraud, cynicism, self doubt and obsessive chasing, resentment when some ideas fail to succeed. These symptoms can make tackling daily business challenges feel like an uphill battle.

As I work more with this developing health and wellness topic of BURNOUT, its not a new concept, yet burnout is rising and taking its toll on many peoples mental well being.

I am seeing it appear more and more in Kinesiology sessions with clients from all ages, all types of business ventures.

Pilates, Qi-Ball Yoga workout

Tuesday 25th Nov at 10.15am

When you don't have access to expensive gym or Pilates equipment, there is always one piece of equipment that we can all use--The small Qi-Ball! It has to be one of the most versatile pieces of affordable equipment out there.

Today we use the small Qi-Ball in our Pilates Yoga workout and as I always say, any equipment we use like a chair can make movements, stretches or exercises either more challenges, more achievable or add instability which then forces the deep, stabilizing muscles, like the core to work even harder, and by offering support to improve form, deepen stretches, and reduce strain on joints.

Qi-Ball in any routine is Fun, and encourages Flow!

WHAT IS KINESIOLOGY NATURAL BIOENERGETICS?

Kinesiology Natural Bioenergetics is best known for its work in the biofield, and as a biofeedback method where a practitioner uses muscle testing to get information from your body. Your muscles will momentarily weaken or stay strong depending on what your body is reacting to—stress, emotions, foods, substance, thoughts, range of motion, or structural weakness that may lead to injury.

Think of it like your body giving “yes/no” answers through your muscles biofeedback. Ultimately looking for energetic stress or blockages. Fantastic tool for helping client realise where there may be imbalances especially in areas of Health, Fitness, Sport and Well Being.

A common misunderstanding is "Kinesiology is that when you use the colour Tape stuff"? Yes, the Kinesio-tape frequently used by top athletes, recovering from sports injury rehabilitation and many of us are trained in using Kinesio-Tape to support pain relief, help swelling reduction, joint care by providing flexible support to muscles and joints without restricting movement. This is just one aspect of Kinesiology--but we do so much more.

Hence the prompt of my production of bitesize videos to better illustrate the extensiveness of Kinesiology Natural Bioenergetics on a physical, emotionally, mentally, biochemical, energetic and resonance in the biofield.

For example you have an injury pull a muscle, that might need Kinesio-Tape Support, but there is also the trauma tension stored at tissue level, the fear of being put out of action, compensation in other areas of the body, all of which can impact the way we feel (fear/anger/sadness) and how it affects our behaviour in future.

Any trip, fall, injury, accident will leave more than just muscular discomfort. We clear the stressors so that the body recovers back to its optimal purpose.

This amazing Muscle Response Testing is being adopted more and more by many different holistic health practices as a biofeedback tool but it is mainly known for addressing imbalances, deficiencies, allergies, sensitivities and returning the body to optimal health.

Life has a way of throwing us a curve-ball and knocking us out of balance, when we experience shock, upset, bout of illness -- anything that disturbs our equilibrium and our energetic system. Supporting the client back into balance, harmony and return the energetic system back to equilibrium is possibly one of the most potent and powerful aspects of Kinesiology Natural Bio-energetics.

Come and find out.

BLADDER WATER WINTER ELEMENT

"Pears are considered highly beneficial for the bladder, both in modern dietary advice and traditional medicine. They are a bladder-friendly food with a low acidic content, which helps minimize irritation".

Pears also are high in glutathione and phenolics which are antioxidants anti-inflammatory and smooth out irritation, are high in water so can aid urine production, help flush out bacteria and toxins that may lead to UTI's, contain malic acid which is known as a inhibitor of crystal growth so may reduce risk of Kidney stones. High in fibre can support regular bowel movement and prevent constipation.
