    This was the perfect routine-full of everything I love so much. Nick...you are one hella good person and I cannot thank you enough for all you have generosly taught me over the past 3+ years. It was during covid lockdown that I was teaching yoga online through my library when a qigong class was added and from their, my friend Deb who also takes your classes and I started our qigong journey. We have steadily practiced qigong mostly every day for the past 938 days and you have been a big part of that journey. Thank you.

    Thanks so much for this video. It really helped me to feel calmer and go to sleep. I was wondering if the video could be darkened in some way as the snow, as beautiful as it is, is incredibly bright and possibly a little stimulating for those of us sensitive to electronic device light, in the evening?

    Thank you Nick. Beautiful and just in time for me to do before bed this evening. I’m a new subscriber and am enjoying many of your videos and learning Qigong which has been on my list for a few years now. I was wondering if you had a session for the vagus nerve (I couldn’t find one) and if not, if you’d do one for us? After decades of trauma (physical and mental/emotional) my vagus nerve is needing a lot of attention and since your videos have helped me so much just in a little over a week (doing at least 1 or 2 a day) I’m hopeful you may have one that will help reset my vagus nerve or at least get it further calmed down with a targeted session. Thank you for considering! I appreciate you sharing your teachings and experiences ✨✨✨✨

    • @TheNickLoffree
      @TheNickLoffree  Před rokem +1

      Welcome! I think the best Qigong technique to target the vagus nerve is the 6 Healing Sounds practice. Here’s my favorite video I made for that: czcams.com/video/Fc-J_SE3qd4/video.html

    Hello Mr Nick, could I ask, what is the reason for tendency to have sharp jabbing pains in the side of the head after frequent qigong practice? The pains are sharp, sudden and brief, used to happen when I've been doing qigong very often. As a result I don't practice as often as before, or only practice when weather is cold
