    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. 😉

I find the standing meditation quiet challenging to hold my body completely still for that long but I do what I can. Thank you for your classes they have helped my mental health massively these Past few weeks and I’m looking forward to learning more about chi gong

    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  Рік 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 Рік 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
