.Our bodies naturally know how to move.

Babies show true spontaneity. They cry when they want to cry,  love to laugh when they are happy!

Our bodies naturally know how to move. Think about that first stretch as them needing something, stretching out their little legs, and trusting that someone will look after them.

I sometimes imagine a younger version of myself, clapping with joy, crying when hungry, and wanting my mother’s comfort. I miss being that carefree, Andrzej.

As we grow up, we become serious adults, always working toward goals and checking off to-do lists. It’s a familiar story.

Let’s return to Qigong. These movements are a natural, spontaneous expression of the need for physical activity. Somebody may ask: Is that spontaneous? Why would I need a teacher?

A Qigong helps you rediscover that lost sense of spontaneity. As we get older, our natural reactions fade, and we start living more from the head than the heart. Spontaneous Qigong can help us stay well.

 Of course, I don’t expect my students to start jumping or shouting during a serious business meeting. Still, I believe that once you reconnect with your natural reactions, you’ll find it easier to smile and feel more joy in your life.

Once,  a serious psychologist told me something important.

"It’s not about the situation; it’s about how you handle it," she said.

In response, I’d say: try smiling and clapping your hands before making a big decision. A relaxed mind leads to better choices.
