Where is your energy well?

I love a good play on words and this Well one is a joy!
👌

From wellsprings to, are you feeling well?
What is this well inside which needs our attention to work, well?!
😂

Our body is wired for well-ness, each cell wired for balance, so there's a clue.
Where do you feel balance inside?
Nope, not the inner ear, thats where we sense balance, its actually in your belly, yeah!
😁

This is guiding you to where the energy well inside you is.. Physiologically, your centre of balance is just below your navel. Energetically, this is the area associated with the Sacral Chakra and Jing Dantien.. mmm what an interesting internal dialogue going on in there 😋

🧡
Yes, your heart is the centre of balance between the Qi of Heaven and Earth, and it needs a good well from where it can spring to feel safe for your soul to land there.

Grounding - another BIG one!

You know about this too, its principles are key to all energy practices and fosters a deepening of your self-care.
👌

How much can you let yourself root in?
And for how long...?
💛

It's not just about the anchoring in, its an opening of inbuilt channels of Qi, designed to release and restore you, all from you initiating that drop-down and in to the Great Mother.
🤎

Grounding is the beginning to how you can Nurture Your Energy Well and Qigong is the Queen of techniques to encourage you in, deep down and nourished mmm 😋

Self care is a BIG one.

You know about it, discussed it with friends even, but how deep does your self-care wanna go?
🤗

Can you ask yourself now as you let a breath out and inhabit a safe space created by dropping into the consistent support of Mother Earth?
🌍

What does the response feel like?
💗

That's your wise inner energy communicating with you, however subtle or screamy that may be.
😜

And this is what Qigong is all about at the core - your relationship with self care.

I've only gone and done it!
Left UK Health Radio... I know!

I managed to extract myself from relentless weekly show production to give more time and space for what I need and wish to do and Be.

I will continue to produce monthly Chi Time's on podcast and YouTube.

The main reason I left was because of managing my energy. I let myself be distracted by interesting guests and their wonderful offerings, to the detriment of the energy gifts I am here to share with you.

The last radio show was supposed to be a couple of weeks ago - I'd even said my goodbyes - and then I saw Pam Gregory superb interview with Katherine Macbean, the founding member of The People’s Health Alliance U.K.
WOW!
💃🤩🌟
I mean!!

Have you listened to this woman speak yet??
And this is not just me getting distracted 😂

I was so pleased Katherine could make space in her well-busy schedule to grace us with her power-full presence. Tune in with her inspiring grass roots story, and an up-to-the minute update on another initiative that is running alongside 🙌

Personal health is high on my list as a qigong player and the PHA ethos is fantastic to land as my last 'Chi Time Collective' show, as it brings these principles slap bang into the community arena, much needed.

I hope you enjoy, and are inspired to join in with ground level basic health care. Only a small amount of time is required to participate - or more if you're feeling it..

There are x3 ways you can listen, or watch here:
(LAST) UKHR - http://bit.ly/3NSwzvX

Spotify - https://spoti.fi/3aap2L7

The PHA has nigh on 100 hubs in the UK with 15 countries getting involved. Each hub runs according to its community and feeds back to other groups. At the national level we learn as we grow alongside one another.

There is an urgent kindness here, reflecting the importance of having health care provisions locally as the NHS is failing, to meet the needs of the people, by the people. By including both allopathic practitioners and complementary therapists to collaborate and weave their health care skills, much can be cross pollinated for the benefit of each unique individual, in community...

I am sooooo excited, this is tremendously spot on!
Are you feeling it too??
Mmm, like a flag in the ground for a people-led healthcare community.
Time to get involved locally, see if there is a PHA in your neighbourhood.
Check PHA on Telegram for more info.

"Power to the People right on!"

Keep your Chi' up my friend and thanks for reading, listening and passing on any interesting parts to your pals.

Together We Rise Strong

I've only gone and done it!

Left UK Health Radio... I know!

I managed to extract myself from relentless weekly show production (chasing a teenage dream - how old am I?!) to give more time and space for what I need and wish to do and Be.
Also, when I'd had said dream, I had no idea about podcasts or video channels which are here now to assist us, as we serve others, with no time-line agenda - phew!

I will continue to produce monthly Chi Time somethings as and when... for instance, Nathan Simmonds is polishing up his mic for the end of July, but I digress...

The last radio show was supposed to be a couple of weeks ago, I'd even said my goodbyes, and then I saw Pam Gregory's superb interview with the founding member of The People’s Health Alliance U.K. Katherine Macbean - WOW!
💃🤩🌟
I mean!!
Have you listened to this woman speak yet??

So many shivery sparkles and words of resonant truth, I knew I wanted to/had to talk with her before I hung up my weekly show mic. As I still had a small window with which to share my offerings with UK Health Radio, I could slide in an interview with Katherine, if she could make space in her well-busy schedule. So so pleased she did, and here it is for you to tune you in with her power-fully inspiring grass roots story, and an up to the minute update on another initiative that is running alongside 🙌

Personal health is high on my list as a qigong advocate (the art of nourishing life) and the PHA ethos is fantastic to land as my last 'Your Energy Matters' show, bringing these principles slap bang into the community arena.

I hope you enjoy - and a re inspired to join in 🌟

We quickly get into how the PHA came to be and how fast it is growing - from April this year, the PHA has nigh on 100 hubs in the UK🤩 with 15 countries showing interest. Each hub runs according to it's community and feeds back to other groups, so at the national level we can each learn as we grow alongside one another.

There is an urgent kindness here, reflecting the importance of having health care provisions locally as the NHS is failing, to meet the needs of the people, by the people. By inviting both allopathic practitioners and complementary therapists to collaborate and weave their health care skills, much can be cross pollinated for the benefit of each unique individual, in community...

I am sooooo excited, this is tremendously spot on!

First Aid and rapid response teams are being brought to the fore too, led by people's needs, sooner than later. Katherine explains why and how this can potentially be achieved.

Are you feeling it too?? Mmm, like a flag in the ground for a people led healthcare community.

Listen to this episode from The Chi Time Podcast on Spotify. The People’s Health Alliance is an organic people-led integrated health initiative creating heart centred health hubs at community level. Here Clara talks with the founder Katherine Macbean on how this initiative came to be and how quick...

My cohort and ace Intuitive PR Queen Sarah Lloyd introduces us to the Cosmic Songbird Natalie Farrell to explore how to tune into your innate wisdom, find sanctuary in your heart and freedom in your soul via vocal sound activation.

Natalie has a passion for guiding women to tune into their innate wisdom, find sanctuary in their hearts and freedom in their souls. Through her work as a writer, author, radio presenter and yoga teacher, Natalie empowers women to push to their edges: to embrace their wild, honour their inner goddess and to begin truly dancing with life.

See !😁! I am so going to hook up with her 💃

The theme of empowerment via voice activation is continuing on from a recent Chi Time with Dave Rock the spoken work artist (episode 11 pod and on Youtube). A topic very close to my own voice reclamation process.

Natalie helps us regain that power of to being able to vocalise freely. With the experience of singing, or sounding, how to relax and open into to letting the tone of ones true voice sing.

Included in this discussion is a dive into what sharing our story from the scar rather than the wound feels like, wow! nice observation, and how attuning to ones frequency being key to emitting authenticity.

Ab-soul-utely

The Chi you Be, becomes the Chi you free...up and give out 💃🌟💃

How is your Solstice going?
We are pretty sunny in the UK ☀️
I've a treat for you on this the penultimate episode of Chi Time on UK Health Radio;

Meet Alex Brazkiewicz, a highly experienced Acupuncturist, Osteopath, Tuina and State Registered Paramedic, and very personable human.

A couple of years ago I was invited by a dear friend to be her 'body' for practice during some in person trainings for acupuncturists. It was Alex who was the tutor. I was fascinated to learn from him as a fly on the wall and person on the couch! I hoped that he might be able to help me with my muscle-skeletal anomalies and the digestive issues, however, his clinic is in Malvern, quite a trek from South Somerset.

My friend was seeing him as a patient and invited me to go on a road trip with her to see him myself.. well, I was and still am, so impressed with Alex's depth and breadth of knowledge and masterful techniques that I've been trekking up there every couple of months since. He has helped me mend my dodgy ankle so I can walk for longer and with ease, as well as dancing like a youngster! My hip 'defect' is way better, digestive issues managing well - along with nutritional advice - and I've become a better best friend to myself.. more on this topic in the near future.

I am very honoured and so, so delighted to be able to share some of Alex with you.

He talks about his journey through being a Paramedic in London's busy Waterloo station through to providing First Aid training courses to his natural curiosity with Chinese Medicine and how it synergises with Western Osteopathy. Yes 🙌

This is a fascinating account of a life full of study, practice and teaching. All held together by his application of Martial Arts and having steady family support.

Included are thoughtful ideas for you to consider along your health care path from both sides of the East/West, body/mind coin.

Be well and be glorious!

It's been a classic UK wet weekend 💦 and despite it all, Jubilee Joy shone through 🌟🎉👑

Whatever your thoughts on the whole thing, we are reminded again that many of us are drawn to gather and share celebratory experiences. This knits our communities and nurtures local projects and endeavours. There is hope, as Prince William suggests, I say there is too, if we work together on common concerns and vision in new ways to live alongside one another and nurture Mother Nature instead of ravaging her (and us).

Each choice we make has a 'voice', you are more powerful than you know. Last weeks missive was about reclaiming your sovereignty 👑 You have a mighty combination of forces in potent alchemy dancing in you, animating you, all guided by the biggest force in the multi-verse, Love 💗

As you are well aware, energy-based personal practices are key to you harnessing this life-force, enabling you to gather important resources to help balance your life.

These Jubilee celebrations illustrate a long lifetime of cycles and seasons for Queen Elizabeth. Has it given you some flashbacks through your life so far?

I've been reminded of personal seasonal shifts and cycles of change and am so glad that Katie Brockhurst, our Digital Wellbeing expert, has brought the topic to the Chi Time table 🎙

KATIE SAYS;
"We are not machines. We work in seasons & cycles. Organic cycles.

Trust in your own non-linear nature.

Our minds and bodies are not machines that can be turned on and off at will, as much as the big tech algorithms and patriarchal, profit and production-focused business models would like us to.

We are organic creatures who work in seasons and cycles. Just as the seasons change and the cycle of the moon waxes and wanes, so too, do our moods, energy levels, and creativity ebb and flow.

We see learning to trust in our non-linear nature as an important step in living a more balanced and fulfilling life."

How is your holiday weekend going?
I trust you are finding ways to self-nurture as you go about your holidaying.

This is an opportune time to feel into the space presented and breathe it bigger for you. Marvel at the super power you have as the person you are, all body, mind and soul in one rolling unit of amZingness, wishing all the components would rock along nicely..!

👑💛💗🧡🌟✨

Well, we are all wired for such harmony as each cell is doing a yin yang dance, innervated by the same action of our breath. So what's the problem?
We like extremes, they make us feel - whereas balance is just steady, regular and yes, natural. Is this a bit dull? Not in my book, as when we explore this mid-point of the extremes in balance, we find a space can appear, and well, I can't tell you anymore, as its an experiential thing, but I can invite you in for a play, the Elemental Qigong way.

The summer course 'Balancing Your Act in Challenging Times' is open for enrolment until Sunday June 5th midnight. Where, when signing up, you will get x2 Qigong sessions on video replay and one audio guided meditation.

Ready to explore the mystery of your balance more?

See you in there.

Have a great and glorious rest of the weekend and keep your chi' up big time!

Congratulations to Queen Elizabeth for doing a sterling job of holding a monarchy together through all the swings and roundabouts of outrageous fortune. I was brought up by a Mother obsessed by Her Royal Highness, following her story from her inception as Queen, with particular interest in what she wore... The rest of our family tease her even to this day, so I am a little jaded. It is, however, a milestone in 'Ones' career.

I'm here to ask you:

Where do you meet yourself royally to give YOU the best of your attention?

👑💛💗🧡🌟✨

Placing your care and consideration firstly at you nurtures your primal energy, Qi, which enables you to gift from your overspill and serve from a deeper Well.

For us to truly honour the gift of our existence we must acknowledge the responsibility we have to self-care, so we do not demand of others and can be of assistance in a bountiful way. I know our culture has trained most of us differently. We are here to remind one another to find places to rest and recuperate, with self-nurturing pockets in our days and evenings to be kind, no more pushing. Try letting go, finding the energy to ride on and with, not over and through. It's an art and a discipline.

As a miracle of existence, and a royal being of light and energy - whether you are born into noble blood or what/not, you are here now to shine your light and truth into our changing world and to support your fellow friends and family to be part of this visioning in. We cannot do this from a paupers mentality. Rise up dear ones, you are who you've been waiting for. We are here to hold one another's hands.

Ok Clara, I hear you say, it's not that easy! Ah well, most of us have tricky lives, which is why I am soooo grateful for energy management skills, like the healing art of Qigong and meditation.

These high-vibed practices can help us to nurture our inner King or Queen, aligning us with the golden ray on high, and deep into our Mother Earth below. Fill yourself up royally, satiate and then offer the shine-on to others who need reminding to breath light and glory into their sovereign being too.

Wishing you well this holiday time.
With kind Qi and many, many thanks for reading.

Clara, a chi-ster protagonist

What is it about balance that flags up failure or lack?
And yet at our core, balance is our birthright.
So it is within you whether you recognise it or not.
Wild !

Everything naturally arranges itself around this balance.
When you tune in with this it enhances the effect, returning you to the peace that is always there too..

Qigong is mindful movement practice, which prepares us for stiller meditations.
Yes you can 'do' it alone, but how often do you?
How often would you like to?

Coming into held sessions brings you back into the arena of self care, building surer pathways for you to return to alone, and and when.

The summer course is open for enrolment until the end of play Sunday June 5th. All sessions are recorded, Tuesday's are initially presented LIVE.

Here's the official link for more info
https://claraapollo.kartra.com/page/rv821

If you are so feeling the call but finances are bleating, contact me directly on [email protected] to work something out. There is always a way when your Qi wants to play 😄

The perfect marriage!

Breathwork and mindful movement.

Encouraging you to return to calmful peace.

The innate balance directive at your core calls you back time and again.
Can you feel this? It's not always easy when there is so much growing on...

Coming into arranged practice can help, hence why these weekly Elemental Qigong sessions are both LIVE and on the ever-useful replay. With an added guided meditation per week, these sessions are designed to help you return to your peaceful place and recharge, naturally.

Follow the call of your inner nature to restore your healthy ways.

Wanna come to profoundly play? First session is tomorrow 9am with the replay up soon after.

Doors are open until June 5 for ease and flow.
