The Art of Qigong : Its all about the Wood Snake

Thursday 11th Dec at 2pm

In today's Qigong practice we address the shift and changes of Five Element theory and the energy patterns as we end the Year in Wood Snake only to emerge in February as the Fire Horse 2026

Wood Snake energy couldn't be any different to Fire Horse energy.

Wood Snake is slow, deep, below the surface listening and observing. It coils to conserve its energy. Preparing the way, shedding anything that is no longer necessary. Listening and learning snake takes you on a gentle journey of transformation, renewal, and personal growth through 2025. Many may not even notice all the changes that have transformed within you, as you emerge straight back into the same skin, just shiny and more robust. This process is essential. Without it we cease to evolve into the new Wisdom, and continue to carry the old self with us.

Key aspects are the act of letting go of old, restrictive parts of oneself to make space for the new. This process is essential and necessary before we step into the very different energy pattern of Fire Horse.

Today, we really pay attention to clearing the residual stagnant Liver Energy, indecisions and Liver Qi emotions that left behind knots in your coils that has been created from holding on too tightly. Whilst we anchor into our lower dan tien.

We perform a beautiful 13th Knot release.

Later on in January/February we will prepare and tune our Qi to rev up, speed up, ramp up, step up to the Fire Horse. If the work hasn't been completed sufficiently in Wood Snake, we might quickly burnout, blow a fuse, energy becomes scattered, restless, your fire may get out of control and agitated. Imagine trying to plug in a 110watt electrical into a 240watt power socket--BOOM.

January February Qigong is all about getting Qi-Fit starting to build our energy Qi to be able to easily, adjust to the new energy of Fire Horse. If done correctly, will allow you to flow, flourish with passion, creativity, excitement, good ethics all the while the wind blows through your wild mane as you speed and charge your way into 2026 and beyond. In January February we get ready to ride........ not get dragged in the process.

The Mingmen is located near the Kidneys and the lower back. Mingmen referred to as the "Gates of Life" when supported robust and vital support the Kidney's adrenals, cortisol hormones that are linked to vitality, health and longevity.

There are certain times of the year, certain times of our life when we can become Kidney Yin deficient and working with Mingmen adds the fire and power back into the water kidneys.

Imbalances can lead to lower back pain, poor sleep, fatigue, tired all the time, reproductive issues (fertility and menopause symptoms), weak knees, urinary and bladder problems, heat, excess sweating or cold extremities, mood, cognitive, memory, loss of concentration.

NOVEMBER FULL MOON : 4TH DECEMBER

Every month there is a full moon. Cycles of Life that spin us around and around. For some the full moon comes and goes without interruption or consideration. For the other sensitive souls out there, we feel the Moon cycles more profoundly. This may mean tiredness or fatigue around the days leading to full moon or after, sleep pattern disturbances. headaches, more tension, body aches, needing for rest, time off or time out.

Full Moon is YIN time. A time to slow down, consolidate, rest, recalibrate, reflect and/or process. The moon impacts the tides and water, we are in Water Element, and currently midst Grand Water Trine impacting the three water signs, so chances are this full moon may be powerful and potent time for the water signs or Gemini's.

Each month the Full Moon relates to a specific sign, that adds another layer or dimension of energy patterns. December is the last full Moon of the Year, known as the Cold Moon with its longest night as we approach the Winter Solstice.

This December 4th Full is in the sign of Gemini signify's a time of stillness and heightened communication, about Truth, to incorporate written or spoken communications into your goals and aspirations. Great time to start 'setting your intentions, rituals for future goals like What do you want to finish this year, complete, embrace and to make space for any New Year Resolutions or Activations.

Gemini represents duality, communication, intellect, curiosity, make time for playfulness, social, learning something new, keep any restlessness in check. Gemini energy can be mirrored right back at you. We may have to be careful what we are putting out, least it comes back to us.

"You come correct, we come correct. You don't come correct, we don't come correct."

What are you mirroring?
