To celebrate World Health Qigong Day, the British Health Qigong Association (BHQA) has announced 15 public welfare events to promote health qigong culture and promote a healthy lifestyle.

The theme of this year's event, "Health Qigong, Happy Life," aims to promote physical and mental health through qigong practice and enhance community cohesion.

The series if workshops will run from September 12-13th and cover major cities such as London, Liverpool, Manchester, Darby, Birmingham and Swansea. The activities include free health qigong experience classes, expert lectures, community performances and group exercises in local parks, and are open to the public of all ages and physical abilities. BHQA also specifically invited fitness qigong experts from China to participate in some of the events for on-site guidance and exchange.

Master Faye Yip, president of the British Health Qigong Association said:“Fitness Qi Gong is not only a traditional form of exercise, but also a practice of happiness that is incorporated into daily life. We hope that through these activities, more people will experience the positive effects of Qigong on physical and mental balance, especially in fast-paced modern life.”

World Qi Gong Day was established by the International Qi Gong Federation in 2011 and is celebrated worldwide on the second Saturday of September every year. The theme for 2025 emphasizes the close connection between fitness and quality of life, echoing the pressing need for health and well-being in the post-COVID era.

In recent years, fitness qigong has gradually become popular in the UK, becoming one of the daily exercise choices of many citizens. These series of events are expected to attract thousands of participants to further promote cultural exchanges between China and the UK.

Looking forward to sharing in the celebration with those in and near at tomorrow's workshop at The Swansea Wellbeing Centre from 10am-1pm for £30. Please contact suzannechung1986@gmail.com or Text/Whatsapp 07472013163

🍂 Autumn 🍂 is a season of letting go and making space for the new in preparation for Winter. It is a time for emotional release and a time for restoring emotional equilibrium. Chinese Autumn poetry usually involves crying which along with depression and/or sadness, are expressions of the metal element. Just like the leaves preparing for the Winter and falling gracefully to the ground, becoming soil for new seeds or growth. Letting go creates space for new health, energy, life, and new experiences. This letting go provides space for us to become what we want to be. 🌟

The element is metal, and the organ is the lungs 🫁, making it a good time to purge, tonify, and circulate purify the lung qi & boost the immune system. Out with the old and in with the new lease of life!

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the lungs govern many emotions. To bring these emotions back into balance, using slow and deliberate movements to open the chest cavity can help. In Tai Chi and Qigong, the spine, rib-cage, waist, chest and upper back go through an expanding and compressing motion that gently massages the internal body. This helps increase blood flow, remove toxins and aids Lung functions. 👍

Routines recommended for Autumn include the 3 listed in the event at The Swansea Wellbeing Centre this Saturday Sept 13 from 10am-1pm.

The essential theory behind Health Qigong is to unify body movements, rhythms of breathing and Chinese medical principles to exercise and regulate one’s body (調身), breath (調息), and mind (調心). It is aimed at strengthening and maintaining one's body: not only through building its muscles, but also by paying attention to the tendons, internal organs,and the general flow of “qi” through the main meridians.

There are nine forms in the Health Qigong practice that are beneficial individually but altogether pave a holistic way to achieving physical fitness.

(八段錦) Ba Duan Jin (8 Pieces of Silk)
Ba Duan Jin is considered the most fundamental of the Health Qigong forms. It combines constant rotation of joints with contracting and expanding motions of the body to improve agility, strengthen the lower body and dredge the meridian system.

(六字訣) Liu Zi Jie (The Six Healing Sounds)
Liu Zi Jue uses principles of resonance in certain vibrations and frequencies emitted from one’s voice to massage the internal organs.

(五禽戏) Wu Qin Xi (Five Animals)
Wu Qin Xi is generated from the forms of five animals: tiger, deer, bear, crane and gibbon. It challenges the human body and mind to adjust to postures and motions, found in the animal world.

Join me in celebrating by learning the 3 forms mentioned at The Swansea Wellbeing Centre on Saturday September 13 from 10am-1pm!
