Discover the Gentle Power of Qi Gong

Qi Gong (pronounced “chee-gong”) is a wonderful practice that I fell in love with during my Five Elements Reiki training. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it focuses on balancing and clearing the five elements, making it a perfect complement to Reiki.

I discovered Holden Qi Gong and was immediately hooked. It has strengthened my Reiki practice, enhancing my ability to sense and work with energy. Qi Gong offers a gentle, natural way to move the body, with many movements mirrored in nature. And yes—there are plenty of spirals and energy flows that echo the patterns of life itself!

Interestingly, Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki, practiced Ki Ko, the Japanese form of Qi Gong. I can see clear similarities, especially in the Hatsurei meditation, particularly when practiced from a standing position.

I now teach Qi Gong regularly at Silver Spiral Health & Training every Thursday at 11:00 am (45 minutes). If you’d like to experience this beautiful, energising practice, drop-in classes are £9, but spaces are limited, so booking is essential.

I look forward to sharing the joy and gentle power of Qi Gong with you!
