I love all of your teachings Nick, but these videos are where you really excel over other teachers. This was such a lovely practice on so many levels, physically, mentally, emotionally and visually. Thank you for all that you do 🙏

[@giniharrison8976]

Completely agree, this is an absolutely wonderful practice. I too love all your teachings, you really are an incredible teacher. Thank YOU🙏

That was truly wonderful! Thank you, Nick!

Love this routine, very calming, the River shot at the end is so soothing. “Flow like a River not a swamp” Love it. Maybe some day the Teacup will not intimidate me and I’ll get it right! Until then I laugh at myself while doing it.

[@TracieTunison]

I couldn’t grasp the teacup movement either

Nick, I love your live classes but I so enjoy your outdoor scenic classes too. And I am so relaxed -- heading off to bed.

[@EveCostarelliAlwaysBeDancing]

This was the perfect routine-full of everything I love so much. Nick...you are one hella good person and I cannot thank you enough for all you have generosly taught me over the past 3+ years. It was during covid lockdown that I was teaching yoga online through my library when a qigong class was added and from their, my friend Deb who also takes your classes and I started our qigong journey. We have steadily practiced qigong mostly every day for the past 938 days and you have been a big part of that journey. Thank you.

Another magnificent addition to your extensive range of mindful routines, Nick san. Just completed this, through a rather heavy cold that's descended upon me. Has made me feel considerably more comfortable, so i'll take that off to bed! Thanks as aye, sir... 🙏

[@evidhazelbower1527]

How exciting for me to find and do this video 'with' you so quickly after you posted. It's lovely. The scenery reminds me of the Real World weather but today we have snow too. A very healing and gentle practise. Truly relaxing. Thank you , Nick.

That was awesome! i suddenly had an incredible feeling or relaxation and freshness inside my belly ... i prectice already few years with you, and yet, today was special.

[@66vissen]

What a beautiful lesson, enjoyed every second of it: your peaceful guidance, the sound of nature. Thank you for giving us your wisdom of chigong!

[@Redpepper01]

Thank you Nick. Beautiful and just in time for me to do before bed this evening. I’m a new subscriber and am enjoying many of your videos and learning Qigong which has been on my list for a few years now. I was wondering if you had a session for the vagus nerve (I couldn’t find one) and if not, if you’d do one for us? After decades of trauma (physical and mental/emotional) my vagus nerve is needing a lot of attention and since your videos have helped me so much just in a little over a week (doing at least 1 or 2 a day) I’m hopeful you may have one that will help reset my vagus nerve or at least get it further calmed down with a targeted session. Thank you for considering! I appreciate you sharing your teachings and experiences ✨✨✨✨

[@TheNickLoffree]

Welcome! I think the best Qigong technique to target the vagus nerve is the 6 Healing Sounds practice. Here’s my favorite video I made for that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJSQe5KJepikmpY

[@lovelylady5763]

Thanks so much for this video. It really helped me to feel calmer and go to sleep. I was wondering if the video could be darkened in some way as the snow, as beautiful as it is, is incredibly bright and possibly a little stimulating for those of us sensitive to electronic device light, in the evening?

[@MyFrancesanne]

Beautiful teaching, beautiful scenery ~ thank you so much, Nick for such a relaxing evening practice. I also want to mention just how helpful your video was on protecting the knees. I was very aware of what I learnt from that video while practicing this evening 🙏

[@dreamsalamander]

Hello Mr Nick, could I ask, what is the reason for tendency to have sharp jabbing pains in the side of the head after frequent qigong practice? The pains are sharp, sudden and brief, used to happen when I've been doing qigong very often. As a result I don't practice as often as before, or only practice when weather is cold

[@martinedekerpel3523]

Is this training also good when you have fever?

[@ZodiaKittyKat]

Nick...i am recently diagnosed schizoaffective! I think you have many of the tools i need to ground my rebellious chi and excess dopamine. Any direction i will take. Many blessings to you! Ill do this practice tomorrow and look forward to any suggestions anyone may have.
