The Chi Time Podcast

Bewildered by all the different sorts of Breathworks around?

Brand names can confuse, as surely there are only so many ways to breath in...and out.

All of the Breathworks I've experienced have been hugely helpful and yet, what sort do we need for what kind of situation?

This is a big topic and I can see more conversations developing along this line, but for now, let's begin with asking Chinese Medicine Dr. Roger Jahnke, OMD to shine his wise light on the subject.

Cannily, he boils them all down to just 4...!!

Intrigued?

This episode also includes a question towards the end about the Air and Metal element, and can also be viewed on Chi Time TV here:

The many benefits you get from Breathwork you can also get from Qigong, because breathing is central to the practice, like pranayama with Yoga. It's useful to explore separately and then become aware of the similarities.

Here I look at what Qigong adds to Breathwork, with some discussion and mini-practices on what you can do right now to tune in with the power of your breath and vital life-force energy - Qi.

Overview:
Lungs are the internal interface between you and the outside world
How to strengthen your lungs and breathing mechanism
The Air Element
Release and restore functions

SONG is Chinese word for settling into your presence

Mini-practice to explore
S = Settling 
O = Observation 

The N and G are for future episodes to reveal

Earth connection + Breath = Internal Alchemy = super powering from the inside

What does Qigong give to Breathwork to enhance the effects?
What aspects do Qigong offer to expand on Breathwork awareness?
Clue: Traditional Chinese Medicine
5 examples are shared:

1. Rhythm of the breath
2. Diaphragmatic breathing
3. Immune enhancing 
4. Centring
5. Boundaries 

Air, breath and sound experience and discussion

In this interview we discuss the following topic on:

• when qigong entered his life
• how sitting down is one of the biggest contributors to illness these days
• the silver lining of Covid 
• how hypnotherapy training came in
• what is T.A. and the Drama Triangle?
• trauma shaping individuals and society
• plant medicine journeys
• how he's developed FreeMind hypnotherapy 
• the three levels of attention in a session
• accessing deeper levels of rest - slowing the system down
• spiritual and cosmic components
• importance of supportive music to hold space for personal journeying 
• examples of some of the recent journeys
• short process to drop into replenishment

The People’s Health Alliance is an organic people-led integrated health initiative creating heart centred health hubs at community level.

Here Clara talks with the founder Katherine Macbean on how this initiative came to be and how quickly it is growing through the need to have health care provisions locally as the NHS is failing to meet the needs of the people.

There is an urgent kindness here, reducing fear when alternative solutions are offered. Both allopathic practitioners and complementary therapists are invited to collaborate and weave their health care skills.

First Aid and rapid response teams are being brought to the fore, for the people and led by people's needs.

Since the official start date in April, there are near to 100 hubs in the UK with 15 countries showing interest. Each hip runs according to it's community and feedback to otters groups so at the national level we can each learn as we grow along.

Katherine reveals a new collaboration with the farming industry has just happened as the People's Food and Farming Alliance (PFFA) and the education sector is also getting involved.

Explore the synergy of East and West Medicine with Acupuncturist, Osteopath, Tuina, Paramedic Alex Brazkiewicz.

How to choose your healthcare wisely and become responsible for your wellbeing choices. 

Alex is a State Registered Paramedic with over 16 years front-line NHS experience. He became interested in Chinese Medicine in the early 1980’s through his Martial Arts teacher, where he learned Namikoshi Shiatsu and continued his studies at the European Shiatsu School. 

Continuing his studies gaining a degree in Acupuncture and the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine (CICM), Reading.

After which he undertook a year long postgraduate diploma in Tuina Chinese Massage and medical Qi Gong.

Between 2008 and 2013, Alex undertook numerous month-long study trips to China to study Classical Acupuncture and Applied Channel Theory under Professor Wang. It was during this period he finally left the NHS to focus on his clinic, further study and teaching.

Alex is currently on the faculty at CICM where he teaches conventional medicine and at The City College of Acupuncture, where he teaches Tuina.

Alex has a passion in the integration of Western and Classical Chinese Medicine, with a special interest in reduction of pain and the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries. He talks with us here of his journey in East and Western medicine and shares salient points on:

• How Martial Arts helps nurture personal discipline and helps with dancing
• Adjusting exercise for your body now, not how it was before
• Osteopathic philosophy similar to Chinese Medicine. Body is self healing 
• Functional medicine - patterns of disharmony 
• Chinese Medicine fostered observation of patients and thus modified treatment 
• Yang Sheng the art of nourishing life v. the pace of modern culture
• Let food be thy medicine

This episode was first aired on UK Health Radio. The podcast includes a further 15 minutes where Alex speaks into what happened to Chinese Medicine in Communist China and how Western Medicine infiltrated to augment the traditional methods. How the old Masters of the original Chinese Medicine offer training for the new doctors to enable their skills to be added to the current methods of teaching.

Ever pragmatic, Alex says to keep learning and make what you know work for you and your clients, whilst honouring the 'Standing on the shoulders of the people who came before us'.

We are not machines. 

We work in seasons & cycles.

Organic cycles.

Trust in your own non-linear nature.

Our minds and bodies are not machines that can be turned on and off at will, as much as the big tech algorithms and patriarchal, profit and production-focused business models would like us to.

We are organic creatures who work in seasons and cycles. Just as the seasons change and the cycle of the moon waxes and wanes, so too, do our moods, energy levels, and creativity ebb and flow.

We see learning to trust in our non-linear nature as an important step in living a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Very soon The Chi Time Collective will only be available streaming from podcast platforms or on Chi Time TV on YouTube. The season of relentless weekly production for UK Health Radio is no long tenable. There are other projects calling forth a new cycle of creativity.
