Unlock the Secret to Women's Health & Energy: Qigong for International Women's Day 2023!

Hello there! To celebrate International Women's Day 2023 this week on the 8th March, here's a 25-minute easy qigong flow specially designed for women's health.

At the root of our health and energy levels, we have the kidneys and reproductive system so I've included some moves to really build energy in the lower energy centre before gently allowing this nourished qi to move up into the middle dantien / heart centre/breasts.

We start with a little warm-up shake and bounce and grow the energy at the centre of the body by working with our Qi ball and turning it over at the lower dantien.

We then do an earth / yin-focused Zhan Zhuang to further nourish energy within the reproductive system and continue with these themes by tuning into energy awareness around our belt/girdle meridian which nourishes the uterus as well as the organs around the mid-section of the body.

Whether you are pre or post-menopause, have or have not had children, or have had a hysterectomy or oophorectomy, we focus on nourishing energy within the reproductive system and its energetic imprint as this has a direct correlation to our health, longevity and energy levels.

After focusing on the lower body we gently nourish the heart centre and clear stagnant energy from the breasts then unite our middle dantien with the energy of earth and heaven.

We close with a lovely sequence, Sweeping the Energy Centres, which is like a spring clean for the system. Starting with the pelvic floor/root chakra - all the way up to the Crown chakra / Bai hui and then the Gallbladder channel.

Let me know how you get on in the comments and whether you would like to see more Qigong for women!

For all the lovely male viewers - you can still do this sequence and focus on building energy in your lower dantien with hands central rather than over the Ovarian palace ;) And go gently when moving the energy up to the heart centre.
