Foundations of Flow: Breath, Posture, Intention
Qi can feel like warmth in your palms, a gentle tingling along your arms, or a steadier breath that settles your thoughts. In Qi Gong, we invite awareness to these sensations, letting them guide softer movements and a calmer, brighter energy flow.

Circle ankles, knees, hips, wrists, and shoulders, then lightly bounce through the heels while breathing calmly. This lubricates joints, warms tissues, and invites energy to rise. Save this flow and subscribe to receive a simple cue card for your mornings.
A 10‑Minute Morning Energy Flow
Flow a gentle wave through your spine: tuck, round, lengthen, lift. Move slowly with the breath, like seaweed drifting with the tide. This awakens the back body, frees the diaphragm, and channels energy along your central axis to support balanced focus.
Desk-Friendly Energy Flow at Work
Roll shoulders slowly, glide the neck with tiny arcs, and pair each motion with smooth exhalations. Three minutes can dissolve midday stiffness and restore energy flow to your upper back. Set a timer and tell us your ideal micro-break length for steady productivity.

Rub palms warm, then cup them over closed eyes. Blink softly, look near and far, invite wide peripheral vision. Add a slow twist and side bends to free your ribs. Readers report less screen fog after this mini-series—try it and comment with your experience.
With relaxed palms, tap gently along arms, chest, ribs, hips, and legs, then brush downward as if sweeping dust from clothing. The rhythmic contact invites tissues to soften and energy to circulate evenly. Many readers love this nightly ritual—will you try it tonight?
Visualization and Intention: Guiding Energy Flow
Imagine warm light rising up the back body as you inhale and circling down the front body as you exhale. Keep the image soft, like sunlight through leaves. This visualization gently organizes energy flow. Share whether you prefer light, water, or breeze imagery.
