    Very nice, thank you Nick! I really enjoy when you explain the “why” of movements & postures. I also appreciate your poetic descriptions, like “moving through mist.” 💚
    One thing that pulls me out of the moment, is when you say “acrossed.” That is not a word. Across is always across. 😉

    In my opinion it is very well explained your winter qi gong, also the music that goes together is great.
    I'll be very interested in more of your videos of qi Gong
    I want to see these courses you say to teach but I did not understand how to reach them.
    Maybe you can write it down please. I"''m not English and I did not get this.
    Thank you so much your teaching is helpful
    Maybe it will be great to say at the end to lay down for a short relaxation...

  • @Antarpriti
    @Antarpriti Рік тому

    Thank you, Nick, for this beautiful routine! I have a question: during the winter, is it beneficial to focus only on Water element/Kidney meridian routines, or is it better to also include routines meant for other elements/meridians/organs? If it is better to include them as well, what should be the ratio for general health and better balance?

    Hi I've been getting back into doing qi gong again really the last month I've been doing that or yoga daily. I tried this video today and it was very relaxing but afterwards I started feeling sick and really really shaky like my whole body shook like crazy. Could this be a detox type of reaction? I've definitely been dealing with a lot of anxiety and health issues the last couple of months so maybe it's just my body getting rid of the bad energy? Just wondering what your thoughts were. I love your videos and have done a bunch of them but have never had that sort of reaction

    • @TheNickLoffree
      @TheNickLoffree  2 роки тому +1

      Could be one of those “healing reactions” for sure. Could also be low blood sugar, which can cause nausea and shakiness. I usually try to practice with a bit of juice or something in my system to avoid this kinda thing. I could see the deep horse stance in this practice depleting blood sugar quicker than most 🤔

    • @sarahsapphire511
      @sarahsapphire511 2 роки тому

      @@TheNickLoffree thank you so much for replying back. Yeah I did that without eating anything beforehand so next time I'll make sure to have a little something some fruit or something light at least beforehand or like some juice beforehand and see how I feel. Right after I drank a bunch of water and ate a little something and after about 40 minutes thankfully the shaking stopped. It was a really great video. I'm hoping it was a healing reaction and just I'm so filled with stress it just made my body feel weird after because of so much built up stress over the years
