Chi Skills Podcast

In this podcast we explore body intelligence — the ability to sense and understand your inner state through direct experience instead of only through thinking or data. Many of us measure our lives through numbers, advice, and analysis, but when we reconnect with the body and energy, a different kind of understanding appears. We talk about the journey from living in the head to living in the body, how symptoms can become signals, how food, emotions and environment affect your state, and how awareness and journaling can help you develop this inner guidance. 👉 If you enjoyed this video, like & subscribe to our channel — it really helps us reach more people who value internal training and personal transformation. 👉 If you want to go deeper into this kind of work, explore our Core Essentials Chi Kung Course — a self-guided online program: https://www.chiskills.com/core-essentials-course 👉 If you want to go deeper with personal guidance, explore our Private Mentoring Program — https://www.chiskills.com/core-essentials-program 👉 And if you’d like to receive our newsletter for monthly insights and updates: chiskills.com #BodyIntelligence #Qigong #EnergyAwareness #MindBodyConnection #InternalTraining

In this episode we explore Conscious Body Control in Daily Life — the relationship between our physiology and our inner state. Your body continuously expresses how your nervous system is organized: through posture, breath, facial expression, voice, and subtle tension patterns. Over time experiences, conditioning and stress create a “default state” that begins to shape how you react to people, situations and decisions without you even noticing. By working directly with the body — alignment, openness, release and awareness — you can start restoring neutrality and build a stable baseline from which presence, clarity and confidence naturally emerge. This practice goes beyond training sessions. The real work happens in conversations, family dynamics, work situations and inner dialogue, where you learn to recognize triggers and consciously regulate your state in the moment. Small physical adjustments can profoundly change emotional responses, perception and the outcomes of interactions. As the body becomes more open and elastic, it begins to support better choices, healthier boundaries and a different experience of life itself. You don’t suppress emotions — you gain the ability to shift them, allowing the body to tell a new story. 👉 If you want to go deeper into this kind of work, explore our Core Essentials Chi Kung Course — a self-guided online program: https://www.chiskills.com/core-essentials-course 👉 If you want to go deeper with personal guidance, explore our Private Mentoring Program — https://www.chiskills.com/core-essentials-program 👉 And if you’d like to receive our newsletter for monthly insights and updates: chiskills.com #chikung #qigong #InternalTraining #Embodiment #MindBodyConnection #Presence #NervousSystem #InnerWork #Awareness #TaiChi #ConsciousLiving #ChiSkills

Many people live almost entirely in their head. Constant thinking. Distraction. Stress. Reactivity. And slowly, without noticing, we lose contact with the body. Inspired by a quote from Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now — “When we lose contact with the inner body, we lose contact with Being” — we look at how disconnection shows up in daily life, in the nervous system, and in the way we experience ourselves. After that we explore what happens when attention returns to the body — and why this is the true starting point of inner training. 👉 If you want to go deeper into this kind of work, explore our Core Essentials Chi Kung Course — a self-guided online program: https://www.chiskills.com/core-essentials-course 👉 If you want to go deeper with personal guidance, explore our Private Mentoring Program — https://www.chiskills.com/core-essentials-program 👉 And if you’d like to receive our newsletter for monthly insights and updates: chiskills.com #chikung #qigong #InternalTraining #Embodiment #MindBodyConnection #Presence #NervousSystem #InnerWork #Awareness #TaiChi #ConsciousLiving #ChiSkills

In this episode, we explore how food influences your energy on deeper, often overlooked levels. We talk about how your energy and the energy of food interact with each other. And we look at eating as a form of Chi Kung; we influence our state. Now it’s time to do it consciously. A great way to start, is with Chi Kung.

In this podcast we talk about the differents between traditional nutrition and modern diets. A healthy diet that fits everyone all the time just doesn't exist. Traditional nutrition is a system where we look at the person and where the imbalances are. Then we look at what this persons eat. And because we know what the effect of foods are, we can now make changes to balance the system out. This is a lifelong proces. At the start we make basic changes, followed by finetuning. 2023 Spring/ Summer Chi Kung Intensives in the Netherlands: https://www.chiskills.com/chikungintensive2023
