Calming Qigong and Tai Chi to Relax, Destress, and Reduce Anxiety

This calming qigong (chi kung) sequence helps to soothe and calm you. It features gentle flowing movements to leave you feeling centred, balanced, and at peace once more.
I filmed this on location on the Caribbean islands of Turks and Caicos (yes the background is real - not a zoom one! 😉 )
This practice is:
✅ suitable for beginners, it's gentle enough if you are new
✅ suitable for experienced practitioners to go deeper into subtlety
✅ great if you have wrist injuries for gentle rehab
In love and peace,
James 💜

Thank you for ushering in such a profound healing experience, James. It was as if you were one with the element of water, dipping into the vast and cleansing ocean water chi and sharing it with us. The word "congruence" flows into my mind as I reflect on how you and your cueing matched the setting. For example, "...breathe like water...slow, steady and deep..." The tone of your voice was slow, steady and deep. Like your cueing. Like the ocean waves behind you. Masterful! And the effect of clearing clouds and gathering earth/sky energy was a beautiful balancing act. I am so grateful. I will share this video with friends who, like myself, are in professions that require gentle and consistent self-care.

Another perfect, gentle session, in a perfect setting, James. My heart sank a little on the one leg balances, as I have a rather dodgy knee at the moment. I can therefore concur, it is alright to fall over... 😄
