Some gentle Qigong breathing exercises with movement, a massage demonstration, a discussion on useful tools and techniques to aid well being, a goodie bag to take home and of course delicious cake \u2013 what more could you want from a well-being evening at WI?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many thanks to Helen Blantz of The Tai Chi Room<\/a> for the calming Qigong breathing routine and to Pat Ferret for sharing shoulder massage techniques. Jennie Craven expertly led the discussion sessions and hopefully everyone went away with ideas to try out at home or a new book or POD cast suggestion to follow up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helen has a new Tai Chi beginners course starting in September for anyone who is interested to learn more about this ancient practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally I\u2019m going to start a gratitude journal each morning to help begin the day in a positive, focused mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next month we are taking a break from the usual meeting as it is Burford Festival, but it\u2019s all WI hands on deck to run the teas and cake stall at Burford Open Gardens on June 11 and 12. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
