We can find so many teachings and lessons in Nature

❄️ Winter ❄️ often feels endless with the grey skies and cold impacting our energy and mood; even with the knowledge that seasonal weather is essential for life.

Recently, I was inspired by the cheerful and persistent song of our local robin, who sang undeterred despite the gloomy weather. It reminded me that I have the power to choose how I respond to different circumstances and situations.

Rather than letting the grey, damp, and cold get to me, I practiced breathing, moving, and smiling. Instantly, I felt lighter and more at ease; I completed my tasks and slept well that night!

I can honestly say that practising QiGong and Forest Bathing has taught me how to choose my responses. The positive impact on my wellbeing has been incredible, which is why I enjoy sharing these practices with anyone interested in finding the confidence and strength to make the right choices for themselves!

Why not give either (or both) a try?
I hold:
☯️ Weekly QiGong classes in Raydon, Burstall, Sproughton & Capel St Mary.
☯️ There are, during February, QiGong Taster sessions in Burstall on Wednesday evenings.
🌳 3 Forest Bathing sessions a month

As we step into the third week of January, it’s a good time to pause and reflect on how well you are nurturing your own self-care.

☯️ QiGong and 🌳 Forest Bathing are wonderful practices for nurturing the body, mind and spirit.

Both offer easy additions to your daily routine, without the need for special equipment, clothing or extra time, yet they can noticeably improve your day, week, and overall wellbeing.

Why not come along to an upcoming QiGong class or Taster or join a Forest Bathing session to find out how the practices can blend into your life?

Weekly ☯️ QiGong Classes are held in Raydon, Burstall, Sproughton and Capel St Mary.
🌳 Forest Bathing Sessions are held 3 times a months in a private woodland near Hadleigh.

Regardless of whether new years resolutions have been made or not, or if they have been started, underway or just completely abandoned – worry not!

January, whilst it marks the start of the new calendar year, remains part of winter - the season that invites introspection and calm; offering us the space to recharge and renew our energy for the coming months.

This natural cycle is demonstrated to us so beautifully by Nature.
While the world may seem chaotic (like the weather), and short gloomy daylight can dampen our energy, Nature, in woodland and wildlife, is either dormant or calmly focused on nourishment and preparation for spring.

I don’t deny that it is challenging to accept that it is OK to take time to recharge … but it really is OK! And if you do then the holistic benefits to your own long-term health and wellbeing are truly remarkable.

Ancient practices of QiGong and Forest Bathing, among others, reveal our natural ability to recharge and renew while being part of our modern world.

Why not join us in a QiGong class, Taster or a Forest Bathing session to find out for yourself?

Take Care - Janet
