What if you could improve your health, strength and vitality, by simply slowing down?
Slow your body
Slow your breath 
Slow your mind
When we slow down we give ourselves the opportunity to rejuvenate, to recharge and to harness our own life force energy or “Qi”. 
As we move towards winter we begin to turn inwards and connect to the power of Yin, the power of Water and the power of finding our own slow flow. In this 6 week course we will explore Qigong movements, meditations and breathwork practices to support this slowing down, giving us the space to connect to our Qi, to our subtle energy, giving us the tools to feel stronger, calmer and full of vitality.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine we are entering the water phase of winter. The water element relates to the organs of the bladder and kidneys, our bones, our ears and our sense of hearing. The meridians of Kidney and Bladder run along our spine and the back of the body and when they are flowing well we feel supported by life, grounded and connected to the world around us. We can find our inner flow with ease, without effort or strain, enabling us to let go of our fears and move forward with courage.
Qigong teaches us to come back to our bodies, to come back home, to a place of belonging that is inside all of us, a place of stillness in our the centre. Where we can better navigate life’s uncertainties with greater balance, ease, and steadiness.

What is included: 
Six live 60min evening Qigong Classes on zoom
Six live 30min morning Slow Flow classes on zoom
Access to replays of all classes so you can catch up in your own time. 
Access to private Whats App group to share experiences and ask questions 
Weekly supporting material for home practice :
– A Weekly video with a guided Qigong Practice or Meditation
– PDF – explanations of each practice 
– Key acupuncture points for self massage
Together we will: 
Learn a simple Slow Flow Qigong Movements to balance your nervous system and release stress.
Explore the principal of Wu Wei – Release tension and move with effortless action
Connect to your deep internal power – Learn to Standing in Emptiness (Wuchi)
Strengthen Kidneys and support adrenal health
Exercises to strengthen your spine and reduce back pain
Clear the meridian pathways reducing stagnation and stiffness for increased flow and vitality. 
Learn self-massage techniques for key acupuncture points to release stress and calm our busy minds.

Qigong means “To Nourish Life” and for me having a regular practice helps to bring me home to myself.
What will i get out of this course?
Deeper body awareness
Increased strength and emotional stability
Relax your mind and Improve mental clarity
Enhanced breathing and improved circulation
Strengthen your back and build a healthy spine
Less physical tension and reduced pain
More energy
Less stress and anxiety

Overcoming anxiety with NLP is a relatively straight-forward process that is quick, painless and highly effective. You can live a life without anxiety.
Nobody is born anxious...anxiety is modelled and embedded into our unconsciousness. A life without anxiety is everyone's right, so let's get on it and start removing it.
Anxiety is a condition, a state, that can become 'real' for those that suffer from it. This workshop is going to explore how you do that, and in doing so, look at how you can do something else to remove anxiety form your life.
What you can expect on this Overcoming Anxiety workshop?
On this virtual workshop, Paul McGowran, will show delegates how to live a life free from Anxiety. Paul will help delegates identify the ‘future’ nature of anxiety and the negative emotions involved. By introducing some basic techniques for resolving anxiety, Paul will help delegates begin the process of overcoming their own anxiety. Finally, he will set out the powerful Memory Re-Solution technique. This technique will not only eliminate anxiety it will resolve all the negative emotions that keep anxiety in place.
Key objectives for this workshop are:
Understand the triggers of anxiety for each delegate;
Identify the temporal (time based language) of anxiety;
Practise Future Pacing on future events;
Begin to understand the Memory Re-Solution technique to live a life free from Anxiety.
During the workshop Paul will explore the NLP Communication Model and will demonstrate how we create anxious states. Exploring this model in detail delegates will develop the ability to transform their anxiety.
This workshop can act as a stepping stone to undertaking our comprehensive NLP Practitioner Training. Choosing to develop the skills and attitudes of an NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioner can result in your living an anxiety free life. Surely, that must be a good thing?

What people are saying:
"I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience and left with plenty of food for thought. Sam is truly a wonderful person. Happiness Club is well worth anyone's time."

"Found it beneficial to explore issues and obstacles around making time for selfcare and putting my needs first sometimes! Sammy is a welcoming host and facilitator."

"I have worked with Samantha multiple times. I attended the Happiness Club for unlimited self-esteem online course, which was very helpful in identifying self-defeating beliefs and building new ones.

I have also done a number of tapping sessions with Samantha to address deep seated issues that I was unable to shake off for years. The results were like magic! I could not believe how fast those aspects of my life changed. At the end of the tapping session, we did some impromptu coaching. Samantha is a very good listener. After hearing my problem, she guided me through the solution without imposing her own views. She helped me find the solution or new belief from within myself."
