Learning About Chi: About

When I reached my late 50s, my knees started to object slightly as I climbed stairs, I was stiff getting out of bed, and often my back ached when I was standing preparing meals. I was active swimming a couple of times a week and walking regularly. I had obtained the YWCA's Fitness Leader Certificate in 1982, and had taught classes to women of all ages and wellness levels. I thought I knew what to do to keep me agile and fit into my old age. But, the aches and pains continued to get worse.

When I discovered the ChiFusion™ Program and began a regular practice, the aches and pains started to disappear. In addition, if some new pain or injury appeared, I was able to gently work it through. I became the expert on my own body.

Even though I had practiced Tai Chi from the early 80s into the 90s, as I got older, my body's needs and responses had changed, my needs were different. The ChiFusion™ approach addressed those different needs. The ChiFusion™Program is not specifically for older people, it is simply structured in such a way that it always accommodates specific needs. It is not a 'one size fits all' approach.

I was so impressed that I could heal and keep my own body well with such a simply learned skills I wanted to share this ancient Chinese knowledge with others who are going through the same process. And so I started Al's instructor training program.

I am certified to teach the complete ChiFusion™ Program - Levels 1 to 4.
Level 1 starts by opening the body and meridians progressing up to Level 4 which includes advanced Qigong exercises - a Tai Chi set called The Four Elements.

Welcome and Hello

I'm Jackie Davies, a seventy-something life long student who loves learning and sharing life skills.

I teach Qigong, Tai Chi, and other energy based self-applied wellness techniques in and around Norfolk, Haldimand, and Elgin Counties in Ontario. This is where you can find information about my Qigong classes.

For people new to Qigong or energy work, we usually start with the easy to learn Qigong practice called the Eight Brocades. This is a series of exercises or 'patterns' developed in China over 800 years ago but with roots extending back thousands of years earlier.

Many younger people practice, or 'play' as the Chinese say, but it is the older generations that have ensured that this Qigong persists and remains vital to this day. And for good reason: the Eight Brocades is gentle and easier to learn than the more complex Tai Chi. It is a subtle and powerful practice and when done daily will keep you healthy and vigorous throughout your later years. The Eight Brocades is also a good practice if you are ill, injured, or physically compromised in any way.

So, if you are a senior, an almost senior, ill, injured, or otherwise physically compromised this may be the place for you. And if are already fit and well, in addition to keeping you healthy, Qigong practices will help you reach your highest personal goals.

After learning the preparatory groundwork found in the Eight Brocades Qigong we move on to more complex Tai Chi patterns which offer many additional benefits among which is a great sense of accomplishment!

May you enjoy abundant Chi
