Qigong Exercises and Meditatation

The Qigong class is divided into three sessions: Qigong Theory, Active Qigong, and Stillness Qigong.

Qigong Theory
In this session, we’ll explore the foundational principles behind Qigong, including the concepts of Qi (vital energy), Yin and Yang balance, and the body’s meridian pathways. Understanding these principles deepens the practice, helping participants connect more fully with the movement and meditation exercises. This theoretical foundation serves as a guide to cultivating Qi flow, enhancing both physical and mental well-being.

Active Qigong
Active Qigong involves gentle movements, postures, breathing techniques, and mindful intention, allowing Qi to flow naturally throughout the body. This practice includes:

  • Ba Duan Jin: Originating in the 12th century, Ba Duan Jin, or "Eight Pieces of Silk," consists of eight smooth movements targeting specific body areas and meridians to enhance energy, flexibility, strength, and mental calmness.
  • Zhineng Qigong: Developed by Professor Pang Ming in the 1980s, Zhineng Qigong combines Qi cultivation with movement routines and standing meditation. It’s designed for modern needs, often offering health benefits even after the first level of practice.
  • OpenSky Qigong: Rooted in ancient Chinese medicine principles, OpenSky Qigong is adapted for modern life. Its structured levels range from Level 1 to 3, with an additional facilitator level for those who wish to guide others.

Stillness Qigong
Stillness Qigong focuses on meditation and breathing exercises to promote Qi flow, relax the body and mind, and stimulate natural self-healing processes. This session helps restore balance, normalize bodily functions, and support overall well-being.

Testimonials

  • Absolutely amazing - Heidi was fantastic and extremely helpful

  • Anjali Gokhale
    Wonderful experience to have body code session with Heidi Yuen. Feeling positive after the session.

    Anjali Gokhale, January 2022

  • I had 3 Body Code sessions with Heidi to help with pain relief. Heidi was professional, explained everything clearly to me, has good knowledge of the treatment being given. I would say my pain levels went from a 9/10 down to a 2/3, which was then managed by dietary changes. I recommend Heidi 100%.

    Penny Mallett, September 2021

  • Heidi truly is amazing at what she does! I have experienced depression for over a year. I was doing the bare minimum every single day, some days I would not get out of bed. I had stacks of things to always be done, but never motivated to do any of it. It's been about 4 weeks and this is the best I have felt for a very long time! I have gotten so much done, I've been so productive. There are days where I still feel sad, but definitely not experiencing depression, like I was before. It was nothing but a miracle seeing Heidi ? thank you

    Michelle, October 2022

  • I discovered Heidi through Dr Bradley Nelsons Emotion and Body Code website. Having pursued a path of healing for many years I would have to say that Heidi has provided the most profound holistic experience not only in her expertise but in her passion to provide a platform that has allowed me to heal psychologically with physical support through Traditional Chinese Medicine including acupuncture. I have achieved more in 4 months with Heidi and the Emotion / Body Code in my path to healing than with any other practitioner. My vitality and joy for life has increased exponentially. I am forever grateful as my life has changed for the better.

  • Debbie Brown
    I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with the Body Code. I was surprised to see what came up and how Heidi cleared it, reducing the pain I had at the beginning of the session.
