I was delighted and proud that a couple of our students passed the Level 1 Hard Qigong test. They have been working on it for a few years, and have finally achieved their goal.
Peaceful Position Meditation:
Going over a form already learned once is a chance to ask questions and understand better what you’re doing, and we were able to run through the whole thing a number of times, which was helpful.
Instructor Course:
Everyone managed to pass something. There was good opportunity to watch and ask questions. Perhaps some will join the UK course in the future.

Peaceful Position Meditation:
It is great to do a few short seminars as they make it easier for very new students to ease into their Sigong’s annual program a small step at a time. The meditation seminar was attended by a new student who got a lot out of it and for whom it came at a time when she has just started to develop her meditation practice.
Instructor Course:
Our least confident student, being entirely new to the experience, passed all three tests, and was the only one in the whole group to do so.
For instructors, who were placed in the position of tester, the course had its own quite different learning curve and challenge. It was a good day and brought our far-flung students closer to the Centre.
Enlightenment Gong:
With every successive year the subtleties of this beautiful form are becoming clearer and students are starting to develop an appreciation for receiving good polishing rather than ‘getting to the end’ as soon as possible. Everybody finished the two days with bright and sparkling eyes.
Dayan Healing Hand Gestures:
This was a great seminar for old and new students alike as it deepened everybody’s understanding of movements and hand gestures they practice in their exercises and forms all the time. Sifu also gave us an introduction in qi transmission with the use of different gestures and students were surprised and delighted to be able to sense the energy and acupuncture points. This makes Qigong practice even more meaningful. Everybody is looking forward to more seminars on hand gestures.
