World Tai Chi and Qigong Day
World Tai Chi and Qigong day was held on the last Saturday of April at the Petone Workingmen's Club. Ferne who is a student of the Wellington class and also teaches Tai Chi was the organiser and she did a wonderful job. NZ Wild Goose Qigong was invited to participate so Cynthia, Susanne and I went along.
Firstly, I spoke a little about the history of the Tse Qigong Centre then along with Ferne, David and Jenny we gave a shortened demonstration of Balancing Gong. Following that, Cynthia spoke about the Wild Goose Qigong form and then the three Instructors gave a condensed demonstration of Wild Goose Qigong 1st 64.
It was a most enjoyable morning and very rewarding to see so many people working with these ancient and beautiful skills.

March 2012 - Master Tse's Visit
New Zealand - Kapiti, Porirua and Wellington
In early March, Master Tse arrived in New Zealand after his visit to Australia. We were also delighted to welcome to New Zealand; Alison and Chris from Australia, Ian from England and Lee from Canada. Sonja from Auckland made the journey as did Marija and Nick (Jennifer's students) from the Hawke's Bay.
Once again we were kindly offered the facilities of Porirua College.

The refurbished hall welcomed us for Wudang Sword.
Sunshine and fresh air welcomed us on the playing fields of Porirua College for Triple Crossing Spiral Gong. I think this form is going to be one of my favourites and look forward to learning more next year. I also feel it is a form that students new to the Centre would manage and thoroughly enjoy.
The Introduction to Wild Goose Qigong Healing was held at the beautiful Otaihanga Boating Club,
Kapiti Coast.
Kapiti Coast.
We enjoyed our usual group meal at the Regal Restaurant in Wellington. It was a little bit of tight squeeze to fit around the one table but all the more fun for it. The dishes Master Tse ordered were delicious and this dinner is a real highlight for many students (and their partners).
The New Zealand programme finished with Wild Goose Qigong Polishing at Porirua College and small gifts from very appreciative students and instructors.
We did manage to fit in a quick visit to our family farm before the weekend seminar as our lambs were being shorn. I had to call in help with rousing as I was otherwise occupied:)
All in all, an extremely busy and fulfillng two weeks. We now have plenty of polishing and new skills to work on until we see our Sifu and Sigong again in August.

Australia - Brisbane
The first week of March saw me travel to Brisbane with Cynthia and Susanne (Instructors from the Wellington classes) to attend Master Tse's programme. We enjoyed completing Joint Opening and Closing Gong, and Kunlun Twining Hands Bagua. We also had more movements added to our Hard Qigong form. The public demonstration is always a highlight.

We were delighted to see Ian Armstrong who travelled from England and of course Jane and Vera (Instructors in Australia) are wonderful hosts who look after us so well. Also lovely to meet up with the Australian students again. I must say, it took me a few days to acclimatise to the heat and humidity that Brisbane is well known for. We all had a wonderul time and flew back to Wellington eager to start the New Zealand programme.
February 2012
Kapiti
Classes commenced for the new year and as was always intended, weather permitting, we were able to practise on the grass area by the river. I believe we must have one of the most beautiful and versatile venues in the world for classes!
Dunedin
I travelled to Dunedin to hold a two day Healthy Living Gong, Part 1 seminar. I arrived on Saturday morning and we started the first four hour session (with breaks for tea and nibbles:)) at 1.00pm. By 5.00pm we had covered over half the Tse Qigong Centre Level 1 Warmup and over half of the HLG1 form. Sunday morning between 9 .00am - 1.00pm the rest of the warm up and Qigong form was taught. The students did very well in such a short time and I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet up again with people I had met in November and also to teach in a new city.
This weekend format is ideal for helping students who do not have a Sifu close by to learn about these ancient health skills. There are also very good backup resources in the way of a book and dvd for HLG1.

Kapiti
We finished classes for the year and had our end of year social event at the Otaihanga Boating Club. It is such a glorious setting and with the sumptuous food brought be everyone, it was a great way to finish the year. The Commodore of the Otaihanga Boating Club, Roy Opie and his wife Meryl were our guests. Roy has been most helpful in making us welcome with using the facilities.
November 2011
Dunedin
In late November, I visited Dunedin again for a presentation to a group of health professionals and I also held an introductory workshop to Wild Goose Qigong. From those two events there was enough interest by attendees for me to plan a weekend seminar in the future.

22 October 2011
Since the visit by Master Michael Tse in March 2011, there has been plenty happening for me.
In May of this year, our family headed to Dunedin for the graduation of our daughter from the University of Otago. While I was there I gave a presentation to a group from the Bioethics Centre (Division of Health Sciences) of the University. This presentation was about my experiences of being unwell and how I found practising and understanding the skills of Wild Goose Qigong to be helpful. As a result of the presentation, I have been invited back to Dunedin for a presentation / mini workshop with some health professionals in late November. While in Dunedin for that work, I will be holding an "Introductory Workshop to Wild Goose Qigong" on the afternoon of Saturday, 26 November. Details for this can be found under Events.

New Location - Otaihanga Boating Club
In July we moved to a new location for our weekly classes. The main reason for the move was so we could practise outside when weather permitted.
The Otaihanga Boating Club is a beautiful venue and we very much appreciate the Otaihanga Boating Club and the Kapiti Coast District Council making this facility available for community use.

Annual Trip to England - Instructors' Courses and Residentials
August very quickly arrived and I was off to England for the annual Wild Goose Qigong and Chun Yuen Quan Instructors' Course. A few of the "Internationals" met up in London and were hosted by our wonderful friends Marie and Peter of Wimbledon. We then made our way to Harper Adams University by train. This picture shows Cynthia (NZ), Lee (Canada), Marie (UK), me and Jennifer (NZ) about to catch the train from Euston.
It is always a wonderful occasion to catch up with my own Sifu, Jessica Tse and my Sigong, Master Michael Tse.
A relaxing moment at Harper Adams for Belinda, Tse Sigong, Sifu Jessica, Cynthia
In addtition to the Insturctors' Courses, I atttended two residentials. One was learning the form White Monkey Staff from the Chun Yuen Quan syllabus and the other, Cotton Palm from the Wild Goose Qigong syllabus. Both courses were very enjoyable.

Springtime in New Zealand
Back to New Zealand and I am straight into work with my "other life", that being farming. Lambing had started and calving was soon to begin. I thought I would share with you this photo of a rare occurrence. In late August, this Wairere (Romney/Composite) ewe successfully delivered quads and has since fed them well. I did bring her back to the homestead to ensure she had plenty of easily accessible grass:)
That is all from me at the moment. Enjoy the warmer weather.

Visit by Master Michael Tse
Visit by Master Michael Tse
The
visit to New Zealand by Master Tse was welcomed by New Zealand
students from the Kapiti Coast, Wellington and the Hawke's Bay. This
year, we also welcomed Jane, Vera and Michael from Australia and Ian
from England all of whom attended the seminars and events.
The wonderful Porirua College was again our venue for the programme and with the weather being warm and sunny, we were able to make use of the fields with shade from big trees if needed.
The forms being taught were the same as last year so for many of us, we were able to polish what we had previously learnt before adding on new work. For others students, it was starting to learn the form from the beginning.

Wudang Sword from the Chun Yuen Quan syllabus was taught during the evenings.
Jade Pillar Gong from the Wild Goose Qigong syllabus was taught over the weekend.
A very important and enjoyable part of Master Tse's programme are the lectures. These are given at the beginning of the sessions and from them we get a deeper understanding about the work we do. Sigong's stories are always enlightening and looked forward to.
The Public demonstration was held in Wellington this year and the Wellington
students gave a very nice demonstration of Balancing Gong. Master Tse
thrilled us with forms from the other disciplines that we had not seen
before.
We had our usual Saturday night dinner at the Regal Restaurant - and our treat is that Sigong orders the food so we often eat quite differently than if we had ordered it ourselves. Always good!

Master Tse managed to fit into his programme a visit to the local high school, Paraparaumu College where the Year 13 Health Students were able to hear Sigong talk about health as well as try out some movements.
The final event on the programme was the Open Polishing at
Porirua Collge and on this occasion we allowed time to watch some of the DVD
from the 20th Anniversary Demonstration that was held in London last
November. It was fantastic to see our Tse Qigong Centre brothers and
sisters in action. A special thank you to Ian for organising all the
electronics.
A relaxing final day with a walk along Otaki River and a yummy lunch at Brown Sugar then Master Tse was off again for another year.

Thank
you very much Sigong, for travelling to New Zealand and sharing with us some of
the many skills that are part of the Tse Qigong Centre.
In light of the Christchurch earthquake and its devastating impact on our small country, contributions were collected on behalf of NZ Wild Goose Qigong, members of the Tse Qigong Centre, and forwarded to the Red Cross NZ Earthquake Appeal. A very big thank you to all who contributed.

England 2010
In August this year, I travelled to England and attended three residential courses. They were the Instructors' Courses for Wild Goose Qigong and Chun Yuen Quan, the Green Dragon Sword and also at the very last minute, Buddhist Opening Fragrance Gong. I also spent a little bit of time in London where I attended my Sifu's and my Sigong's classes. I was away for 25 days and it was nice to have a break from the very wet and cool winter New Zealand was experiencing.
Wild Goose Qigong Instructors' Course 2010
Wild Goose Qigong and Chun Yuen Quan Instructors' Courses
It is on these courses that Instructors are polished and tested on their forms and also offered tuition and guidance to help them become more effective Instructors. This was my seventh Instructors and as usual, there was plenty to learn. The six days ran very smoothly and it was amazing to see how much we actually fitted in. This year, both seniors and juniors completed written exams and in the evenings after practice, there was also the opportunity to socialise or watch movies!

Dinner at Tin Tins
One of our very first challenges is to learn the names of all the other Instructors. Now this is not too difficult for those of us who have been attending for some years, but for newcomers, I am always amazed at how well they do. Not a name tag in sight but during the dinner at Tin Tins (our first meal together), everybody is working hard to learn each others name. It is surprising what you can do when you put your mind to it!
We have lectures and social times in the Queen Mother hall and work outside in the beautiful grounds for most of our other work.
"Official" photographs are part of the programme and it is always a lot of fun having our photograph taken by 'class' or 'country' with our teachers.

Green Dragon Sword
This form is from the Chun Yuen Quan syllabus and I first attended a residential in August 2006. I was able to polish and add to my learning with a second residential in 2007 and it was great to again polish and learn more this year. The sword has a long tassle and it takes a lot of practise to encourage it to go in the right direction. Added to that, the form itself is quite long but so dynamic and I have always found it very challenging. This year however, it felt a lot more comfortable and I am even beginning to consider the tassel my "friend"!

Buddhist Opening Fragrance Gong
There is only one way to describe being able to learn this form and that is "privileged". After encouragement from my Sifu, I decided to stay for the third residential and I am very pleased I did. It was a fascinating three days of lectures and learning the form. Since returning to New Zaealand I have practised this form everyday and definitely feel the benefits.
We were very pleased that Susanne (Instructor from Wellington class) was able to attend this residential. Unfortunately, Susanne broke her arm just before she was due to fly out for Instructors so we were delighted to see her.
This year, I was very surprised to experience NO jet lag when I returned to New Zealand - it reinforced again for me, how profound and powerful the Wild Goose Qigong and Chun Yuen Quan systems are for helping to manage your health.

"Thank You" and "My Birthday!!!"
A very big 'thank you' to some of my Senior students, Liz, Kimbra and Derek who so ably looked after my classes while I was away.
Each year, my birthday coincides with the Instructors' Courses and this year was rather special as I turned 50!!! I had several surprises that day. I received this great photo and message from some of the students of one of my classes:)

Also a big thank you to my student Jennifer (from Napier) who organised this lovely bunch of flowers to be delivered and to Lee, my Qigong sister from Canada who managed to get all the Instructors on the course to sign a birthday card. It was a great day!
Finally
A very big acknowledgement and thank you to my Sifu, Jessica Tse and my Sigong, Master Micheal Tse for giving us the opportunity to attend these residentials. I know a tremendous amount of work is required to ensure they run smoothly and this year the courses were simply fantastic.

20 June 2010
Winter has well and truly arrived and with so much rain! It means practising outside is a bit more difficult, so do remember, if you are practising inside, open a window so you get some fresh air circulating and with it, fresh Qi.
When winter arrives, I am always grateful for the Chun Yuen Quan work. The warm ups and the forms are more dynamic and bring up a stronger, warming energy which is most beneficial for our minds and bodies over these months. If you are working with the Qigong only, you are welcome to come along to the Chun Yuen Quan class anytime and see if it is something that interests you. Some of the students have worked through the earlier forms of the syllabus and are now starting with the Damo Staff. As well as providing another challenge it certainly is a lot of fun!

A couple of weekends ago, the four New Zealand Instructors got together for practice and discussion. We make the most of these opportunities as it helps us to keep our own work polished and developing. You can see by the photograph that we were blessed with good weather which meant we too, could get outside and practise our Damo Staff.
Dayan Qigong Spreads Its Wings to the Manawatu
I was recently invited to teach some Dayan Qigong to an enthusiastic group of women in Palmerston North. Spanning three Friday afternoons, with two hours set aside for each visit, the group learned the Tse Qigong Centre warm up Level 1 and Healthy Living Gong, Part 1. Not only did we manage to cover the movements but also fitted in talks with tea. It was a wonderful experience and I look forward to continuing my work with them and helping them to get the most out of their Qigong practice.

Sharing a Thought
There are many important values I have learned through my association with the Tse Qigong Centre and of course, my Dayan Qigong and Chun Yuen Quan work, but I believe "patience" and "trust" are two aspects that help me on a daily basis, especially when it comes to regular practice.
This year, the calligraphy written on the Tse Qigong Centre polo shirt says "Water dripping consistently on stone, will eventually create a hole." Understanding that just a little bit of regular, attentive practice will benefit you and being able to trust the process, will also help you to relax in mind and body. Even if your routine gets interrupted or you have had a break from practising, relax and allow yourself a little bit of time to go through some of the work you know. It always amazes me how once you start the movements, or start your practice, your body and mind have a way of encouraging you to continue.
On that note, enjoy your practice and wishing you good health and happiness through these cooler months.

Greetings
Welcome to the start of Term 2. Beautiful days but less light in the evenings obviously means we are heading into winter. All the more reason to keep ourselves fit and well with regular Qigong and Chun Yuen work.:)

Jade Pillar Gong (Dayan Qigong)
13/14 March, 12.00 - 4.00pm, Porirua College, 64 Driver Crescent, Porirua
Age is not about how old you are, it is about how young you feel and how healthy and flexible your body and mind are. When we get older, our joints begin to stiffen, especially in our back and hips, this can affect our posture, our energy levels and even our memories. However, if we can keep these areas loose, then our kidneys can work better and keep our Qi, bones and mind strong.
