Carolynne invites you to join her in a 60-minute moving meditation designed to help you gain energy, relax, calm your mind, and bring your attention to your inner world. Qi gong is a gentle, easy ancient Chinese practice that can be done by anyone, anywhere, at any time. It utilizes focused breathing, visualization, movement, and sound to unblock the blockages in the body created by stress, leaving you feeling relaxed, peaceful, and invigorated. Its beauty lies in its simplicity, effectiveness, and flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need any experience or special equipment. You can stand, sit or lie down during the practice. You <strong>DO NEED<\/strong> a place where you won\u2019t be disturbed for 60 minutes. Please <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">turn OFF ALL electronic devices<\/span>. This is <strong><em>your time<\/em><\/strong> for a little self-care!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dress in loose, comfortable clothes and have a chair nearby to sit on or hold onto. Bring along a smile and an open heart, then let the energy soothe you. You may also have some water available for after the practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Destress from the day with Carolynne &#038; FAC Peer Support with a free Qigong session.
