How does Zhan Zhuang Qi Gong support your body, mind, and energy? ✨

Zhan Zhuang Qi Gong is a traditional standing meditation practice rooted in Daoist health traditions and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Through simple standing postures, the body learns to release tension, improve alignment, and restore natural energy flow.

This practice helps build physical strength, mental clarity, and inner stability without forcing effort. Many people experience a calmer nervous system, clearer focus, and a stronger sense of balance that carries into daily life.

Over four immersive days in Ubud, Bali, you will learn foundational Zhan Zhuang postures, mindful breathing, and TCM principles that support long-term health and resilience. The practice is accessible to all levels and designed to be integrated into everyday life.

Start the new year with clarity and renewal. 🌟

This simple exercise from the Metal Element in the Five Element Qi Gong System is a very good exercise for opening up your energy and letting go of stagnation:

✨ Breathe in as your hands rise, opening your lungs and chest.
✨ Breathe out as you push forward, releasing and clearing your energy.
✨ Relax your arms, keep your fingers apart, and let the energy flow smoothly through your body.

It’s a powerful way to begin a year full of possibilities. How does this practice feel for you? 🌿

Free the Bonsais 🌱

�“One day I saw this bonsai with all the wire around it, all tied up. And all I saw was the bonsai being trapped… to try and control nature so it only grew a certain height.

�I went home and I got my bonsais out and I cut all four of them… they just started sending these huge shoots… The thing really wanted to be alive.”

�It is a happy tree now. Allowed to be a tree the way it’s meant to grow.

— Peter Caughey

💬 Is there something in your life that’s ready to grow in its own way—something that just needs a little more space, freedom, or care? We’d love to hear about it.

As we step into 2026, I want to remind you of something simple but deeply important. This year is not just another year in your life, it is another opportunity to become a more evolved version of yourself.

Every year begins with a step into a new doorway, and the person who walks through this door is different from the person who walked through it last year.

Over the last year, you will have learned new things, experienced struggles, laughed, cried, grown older, and possibly woken up to see the world in a different way. You may have met parts of yourself you did not know existed. You may have seen limiting belief stories rise up and dissolve. You may have felt what happens when your emotional energy becomes dysregulated, and you may also have felt what happens when you bring yourself back into balance.

This year, I invite you to make a commitment to yourself.

Choose to live from a greater level of consciousness.
Choose to act from your vision of the future instead of your past.
Choose to invest your energy into the person you are becoming.
Spend more time in the present moment and less time lost in thought.

Every thought you energize and every intention you set moves you forward or pulls you back. Your internal dialogue shapes the choices you make and the life you experience.

So here is my message to you:

Let 2026 be the year you stop replaying the past and start moving towards the future.

Let it be the year you move your energy into new possibilities, instead of fear, protection, and survival.

This year, choose to become the observer and creator of your inner world. Choose to be calm, present, and aware.

This year, align your mind, breath, emotions, and Qi, and be the person you want to be, not the person you used to be.

And remember this:

You are never stuck.
It’s never too late.
You are never too old to reshape your inner world and change the direction of your life.

I wish you a year filled with presence, clarity, alignment, emotional freedom, inner peace, and the courage to step into the highest expression of who you are.

Happy New Year. May 2026 bring you balance, vitality, and a deeper connection to yourself.

Much love and care,
Pete
