In Harmony Qigong

MEL’S MINDFUL MONDAY: Connecting into nature by stopping to smell the roses, or exquisite ornamental pear blossoms 🍐 🌳 -as I’m doing here at the stunning is such a beautifully healing way to reconnect & recalibrate yourself when life gets too much 🍃
Through simply noticing, observing & appreciating your surrounds: particularly from nature via your body’s senses: sounds, sight, smells etc we can more easily let stress, overwhelm, anxiety + overactive, overstimulated stuff release its grip from the mind. Through gifting yourself some time out & doing some grounding techniques 👣 - whether it be through directly being in nature or learning mindfulness tools, you can reconnect your scattered pieces back together. (BTW Hugging a tree is great too 🌲 )

Try Mindful Movement & Meditation Qigong! Our holistic tools 🧰 work to help us to clear things out of the way so we can cope with what life brings us. This clearing & space brings us into better balance, alignment, ease & Harmony along with better Health & Wellbeing. Done in gentle yet profound ways that combine healing in synergy with Mind, Body & Breath together ❤️‍🩹

Join us for the myriad of benefits & start to prioritise your divine self with an easy SELF-CARE PRESCRIPTION of sacred Qigong for a more healthy, happy & harmonious life! Try a self-empowering class on the beautiful Central Coast NSW 💚
As a side note: I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all involved at making this truly heavenly venue such a gift for us to immerse in 💝 Your vision of bringing beauty through open green space, plants, billabong & indoor Lotus Lodge is deeply appreciated by all who visit 💚 🙏🏼

Build your coordination through the slow flowing movements of Qigong ☯️

Food for Thought…

Coordination of body with limbs…

Coordinating the body with arm and leg movements is fundamental in both Qigong and martial arts practice…

This coordination ensures that energy, or Qi, flows smoothly throughout the body, harmonizing internal strength with external movement…

When the entire body moves as a single, connected unit, efficiency improves, balance stabilizes, and power becomes more unified and effortless…

In martial arts, this principle translates into effective strikes, stable stances, and fluid transitions, while in Qigong, it deepens relaxation and enhances the meditative quality of movement…

The benefits of such coordination are extensive…

Physically, it improves posture, balance, flexibility, and muscular control…

Mental benefits include heightened focus and awareness, as practitioners must maintain continuous attention to the synchronization between their breath and motion…

Energetically, coordinated movement opens blockages in the meridians, strengthening the body’s internal energy system and promoting overall vitality…

In martial contexts, coordinated body mechanics allow practitioners to deliver force efficiently… using the entire body rather than relying solely on muscular strength…

In Qigong, coordination helps cultivate inner calm, improving circulation, respiratory efficiency, and emotional stability…

Two effective techniques for developing body.., limb coordination include Silk-Reeling Practice (Chan Si Gong) and Wave Hands Like Clouds from Tai Chi…

In Silk-Reeling, practitioners move their arms in spiraling motions led by the rotation of the waist and shifting of weight through the legs…

This trains the connection between the torso and limbs, building smooth, circular energy pathways…

In Wave Hands Like Clouds, the practitioner steps sideways, shifting weight from one leg to the other while the arms move in coordinated circular patterns guided by the body’s turning…

This harmonizes breathing, balance, and movement fluidity…

With consistent practice, these techniques integrate the body’s actions into a graceful, powerful whole… essential to mastery of both Qigong and martial arts…

These are movements that coordinate body and limbs that I practice every day… there are many more… but these two are basic…

Master the basics…

All the Best,

H Perry Curtis, Master at Pampamisayoc Qigong

Sesame seeds are emerging as one of the strongest natural bone builders you can include in your diet. Packed with six times more calcium than milk, they provide an incredible boost to bone density and strength. But that’s not all, sesame seeds are also rich in zinc, which supports healthy joints, and they naturally stimulate collagen production, helping maintain strong connective tissues and youthful skin.

Regular consumption of sesame seeds can help prevent bone loss, reduce the risk of fractures, and support joint flexibility. Whether you sprinkle them on salads, add them to smoothies, or enjoy them as a snack, their nutritional benefits are easy to incorporate into daily life.

Health experts are highlighting sesame seeds as a simple, effective, and natural way to support skeletal health. Unlike supplements, whole seeds provide a complete package of minerals and antioxidants that work together to enhance bone and joint function.

With so many people facing calcium deficiencies and joint issues, adding sesame seeds to your diet could be a game changer. Strengthen your bones, protect your joints, and boost collagen naturally, all with one tiny but powerful seed.

🍃 I AM GROUNDED, SAFE, CONNECTED & AT EASE 🍃

When you feel overwhelmed, an easy way to return to your calm centre is to get grounded:
Simply go outside & place your feet 👣 onto the Earth 💚 somewhere in the natural environment eg onto grass, sand, rock, dirt or amongst the Spring flowers 🌼

Connect through your feet & ground your centre. Visualise your feet extending down into the earth beneath you like roots of a tree. Think of your legs as the strong foundation to hold you like the trunk 🪵 your body as the tree 🌳

Feel into your body’s connection down to the ground & take gentle deep nourishing nasal 👃🏼 breaths in & out - a way to engage the Vagus nerve & activate the Parasympathetic Nervous System.

As you anchor your physical body releasing tension, regulating your breathing & calming the mind - letting go of stress, overwhelm & anxiety, you come into the present moment of peace & stillness where nothing else matters 🧘‍♀️

This Moment of Stillness is necessary to bring you into alignment with yourself. It’s what we do at the start of all our Qigong classes - a key component of Mindfulness which helps bring you back to your centre, your core, your presence, your home within 🏡

It’s ultimately a gift of Self Care that you can give back to YOU whenever you need it 💝 It’s always there if only we can prioritise our needs more by giving back to ourselves & taking a moment to allow ourselves to go there.

Support your body, energy, mind & overall health & wellbeing with Qigong ☯️ Give it a try or join a class on our stunning Central Coast NSW Darkinjung Country 🌴

I study meditation and Qigong from all angles using modern scientific research. I don't do this because I think it "needs" to be studied, it's fine as it is. I study it this way to help bring the various practices to a wider audience, and to help understand the effect that it has on our subjective experiences using objective measurements. My hope is that it helps make the beneficial aspects of meditation and Qigong repeatable for average people, across time and location.

“Do I need to use or bring any equipment to Qigong?” 🤔

Nothing but YOU 😊 Easy as! No equipment nor experience is needed for Qigong!

🧘‍♂️ During our mini meditation at the end of class, our cool down Yin time, we ask you to sit comfortably.

So if you prefer to meditate on a cushion, you’re welcome to bring your own. Chairs 🪑 are always supplied for your comfort or you can sit on the floor too.

And a throw or jacket 🧥 can be handy as we cool down during meditation too.
