"As a professional massage therapist, the Tai Chi Qigong Therapist Training Course has inspired me not only in work but also on a personal level. The course has helped me to understand that a person coming for help with a physical problem e.g. back injury may also have underlying issues. I have learnt that by understanding and addressing these issues a much deeper level of healing can take place. The course has given me the confidence and practical tools to do this.

"On a personal level I am a much happier and healthier person for having completed this course. I have made fundamental changes which have improved my energy levels and moods. I have gained in confidence and spend less time doubting my abilities. My fear of speaking out about things that are important to me has gradually eased. I have found a new hobby in gardening and have filled my garden, which was once a blank canvas, with lots of colourful flowers.

"The teaching has been challenging at times but I’ve always felt supported in moving forward, enabling me to take a very honest look at myself. "

My life has literally been transformed. I've found the TCM(Traditional Chinese Medicine) framework to be an excellent tool for identifying a starting place, in which I can re-balance my energies. Using Qigong therapy and reflection, I’ve found the stillness needed to reveal patterns of behaviour and lifestyle factors that do not work in my best interests.

Life is always going to get out of kilter and prior to the course, I frequently used a chemical ‘quick fix’ solution to resolve problems, thus generating more issues of dependency and toxicity. This resulted in unnecessary anxiety, a deficient diet and very poor sleeping patterns.

The intent used through the healing process is naturally creating an ‘energy efficient’ life for me.  I no longer waste huge amounts of time ‘giving energy’ to patterns of thinking that cause me stress. My diet has improved and I sleep regularly, in fact, I’ve doubled my sleeping pattern from 3-4 to 6-8hrs! This has made for a calmer approach to life in general. My confidence is growing along with my ability to find my centre whenever I become ungrounded.

In my professional life my ability to plan and organise my workload efficiently has eased the tasks at hand, leaving time to develop good working relationships and practices. This confidence has had a knock-on effect in my private life allowing me to forge deeper, more meaniful relationships, with family and friends. I have much more time and energy for fun and laughter in my life!
 
I now practice staying present which means every day is brand new. The course has enabled me to be an 'alchemist', in the classic sense, through practice and intent, to turn ‘ordinary moments’ into ‘golden ones’ through perspective.
 
Best bit:
I no longer need buy a yearly pre-payment certificate for the medicines prescribed by my GP! In fact, I rarely visit my GP as I have the tools and understanding to stay healthy
AND
My new nickname is 'Sleeping Beauty'
 
Best quote from the course: “Only when understanding is accompanied by an energetic shift can change take place”

Coming to the course with previous study of meditation and healing, the teaching ahs put it all in to a much more practical and specific context.

Most exciting for me has been the dramatic increase in my own energy levels, and in my health – last winter was the first where I had no viruses in a very long time.

I would also say that I’ve become more grounded, and I am more understanding of others and where they are at

I did find the course really challenging and I don’t mind that -  it’s what I was looking for.

The course created an environment to challenge, and set up processes to work through.  To do this alongside others being similarly challenged in a supportive atmosphere of honesty and acceptance has been a privilege. I’m releasing the tightness inside – this is still a work in progress but the results so far have been evident in all aspects of my life.
