Qigong to Feel Grounded, Nourished, and to Reduce Worry

This gentle flowing qigong (Chi Kung) practice cultivates the Earth element. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Earth element helps us to stay grounded and centred, and when in balance reduces overthinking, and worry. Earth is also connected to the stomach and spleen, and can aid and help digestive processes.
There are no vocals or voice over in this practice, instead you're invited to follow along and allow it to become a moving meditation. Don't worry about getting it perfect or if you get mixed up. Simply follow as best you can and enjoy a calming and relaxing practice.
This is suitable for all levels. You can easily follow the arm movements seated in a chair if that works better for you.
In love and health,
James 💜

Dear James, I recently discovered your channel 🌺🦋 I'm finding my balance after destroying myself for years, physically and mentally. I express every day my inner voice through my body moves, I do that my way...no rules or labels...simply my instinct ☺️🌼 and I feel good...but now thanks to your videos I'm learning something new, a peaceful "dance"...and I'm grateful for that 💜 you are a special Human, thanks for being here today, crossing my Journey 🙏

[@MoveWithJames]

Hi again Chiara, Thankyou so much for sharing what you write here, it's very touching and beautiful 💜 I also find I have to move and express with my body to process things. I'm quite deeply connected to my emotions and passions and moving somehow helps make everything feel right doesn't it? Much love to you from London 🌸

[@emilywilensky4188]

This is beautiful and my path has been very similar, thank you for sharing your experience. Much love!

[@marilyns2302]

Home caring for my husband who has COVID. Your practice helped calm my mind and left me feeling relaxed. Thank you! ❤🌈

[@MoveWithJames]

Thank you for giving to yourself as you give a lot to your husband during this time. I wish him a smooth and quick recovery.

[@cherylkaye5618]

The practice, and especially the look of blissful peace on your face, had me weeping tears of joy this morning! Thank you for sharing this. 🙏❤

Lovely. I've been hit hard lately with a fibromyalgia flare along with my "normal" anxiety. I'm trying to rekindle my qigong practice, which I had for about 2-2.5 years before losing my foothold ... thanks for a very calming, grounding practice... sometimes less is more...

[@MoveWithJames]

May this new year be full of nourishing and supportive Qigong and yoga practices, to support you and your body. Be kind and gentle with yourself as you create this new ritual for yourself.

[@VikkiStark]

Hello again Serpent Lady! 😊 Really good to know as I wasn't sure if no vocals would work or not. It was kind of an accident. My microphone broke while I was away in this location teaching a retreat so I thought id try recording without it 💜
