Hi everyone, I’m Jonathan from Montreal. Recently, I’ve been listening more closely to a deeper calling from my body instead of following the constant agendas of my mind. What I keep hearing is: rest, settle, stop, savor, feel. Two truths and a lie: - I work in a physically demanding trade - My default is often to keep going, even when my body is asking for something else - I usually notice my body’s signals right away and respond to them Win of the week: I’ve been more consistent with Qigong than I’ve been in a long time, and I’m genuinely feeling the benefits of that steady practice. Glad to be here.

I just went through Day 1 after doing a 30 min grounding and softening qigong practice and with your guidance in the videos I experienced an even deeper grounding and softening. I also noticed increased pleasure as I moved my attention around and through my body. Even in the little aches and tensions there was pleasure and a kind of care instead of the usual anxiety and trying to get rid of or avoid the discomfort. You're right on about the lie. Both parts. I don't notice so quickly and the pattern is to override when I do notice. I really appreciate what you are offering here. Thank you!
