Qigong is an ancient Chinese holistic therapy.
It is the foundation to Tai Chi, but relatively simpler than Tai Chi.
Qigong includes dynamic and static forms.
Zhineng Qigong emphasises moving meditation rather than static meditation.
It uses the consciousness, body, breath, sound vibration and universal Qi(energy) to bring about positive transformation of the body, mind and spirit.
“Since beginning Qigong, my asthma gradually got better, and my breathing has improved. I no longer take any medication for asthma.
My food intolerances have gradually resolved and I can now eat most of the foods that used to cause problems for me.
My energy levels have improved and my right hip pain is hardly noticeable.
My body feels light and I can often feel the qi moving through.
I feel much calmer and any anxiety I had is gone.”
~ Vicki Parr
“The gentle movements stretch every muscle in my body although they look very simple. My muscles feel stronger, and I am mentally stronger too. While practicing, I feel the sense of “unity with the universe.””
~ Susan Sky
“Through regular qigong practice, my back pain is healed and my spine is more flexible. I had also been suffering severe shoulder pain for months. Just like a miracle, after one qigong class the pain had gone. The pain did come back a couple of days later, but much milder. After regular practice, I am pain free. This was a wow fact for me. I LOVE the feeling of connection to the Universal Qi, and would like to share qigong with others.”
~ Graham Good

We were giving our old fridge/freezer away today, but they do not need it now. Still works well. Freezer needs a new rubber seal, but works well, and we would just have something heavy against it. We pulled outside today cos it was supposed to be picked up.

A Christchurch woman is distraught after her golden retriever puppy was allegedly stolen while her children played at a park.
Hayley Fahey said “there's been a mountain of tears” following the alleged theft of the family’s 9-month-old dog, Nala, from Barrington Park on Wednesday.
Fahey was with her two children and dog at the busy park when she took her eyes off the dog for “three minutes tops” about 12.30pm.
The puppy was on a lead, which was securely looped around a tree.
“I know I can’t prove she was stolen, but her lead was looped around a tree and through the handle - there’s no way she could’ve escaped,” Fahey said.
“Even if she had been able to get free, she wouldn’t have run away. She would’ve run straight to us and been all over the children.”
Fahey said she is shocked by how quickly it happened and that, in a park full of about 50 people, nobody saw anything.
“I turned my back to help my friend’s daughter down from a rock and when I turned back, she was gone."
Her two children, aged 10 and 7, helped Fahey canvas the park looking for Nala by showing people pictures and asking for sightings.
“They were great, they went into action mode. Since then though, there’s been a mountain of tears and bedtime has been hard. We don’t understand how someone could do this.”
Fahey had reported the suspected theft to police, who she said confirmed her fears were “probably correct”.
She said she had been encouraged to use social media to find leads and share Nala’s photograph. Her original post has been shared 1400 times.
“I’m just freaking out because I Googled what happens to stolen dogs," she said.
“I don’t want to believe the worst case scenario, but it’s hard not to.”
