From the womb, we float effortlessly, nourished without effort. From birth onward, everything must be sought: breath, food, and safety. Even how we breathe shifts, from the belly in childhood to the chest by adulthood, quietly gathering tension we rarely notice. Zhan Zhuang exists to recover what we lost along the way: the original flow of energy, in body and mind. #qigong #zhanzhuang #wellness

Autumn invites us to slow down, let go of what we no longer need, and create space for the new. As the photo illustrates, Chi Kung is timeless and adapts to every era and every season. It’s about living with intention, presence, and giving tools back to the body, mind, and spirit. 🌿🧘‍♂️ #chigung #mindfulness #philosophy #autumn #nostr

That is exactly what most families don't understand. Unfortunately, I grew up in a family where arguing is a daily occurrence, and I see many more families like that. As long as everyone lives in their ego and lacks empathy and awareness, ego clashes will always be an everyday thing, whether in the family, at work, or anywhere else.

In this video, I teach you 3 simple Qigong movements, perfect for beginners. In just 8 minutes, you'll learn how to recharge your energy, reduce stress, and feel more grounded in your body. No experience or equipment needed—just a quiet space and an open mind. If you enjoy it, drop a like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to slow down today.

Today this was my scenery to record a 10-minute qigong practice for my Substack and YouTube channel.

Nothing like the words of someone who's lived the experience 🙏 "Thank you for the great Reiki treatments and Qi gong lessons at my chosen location. They helped me relax, calm, and clear space quickly to get more out of my holiday. The effects were immediate and exactly what I needed. Profound gift and professionalism, thank you, Filipe." — A, UK #Reiki #QiGong #Algarve #AlgarveWellness #Wellbeing

It's not enough to eliminate what drains you. You have to substitute it. 🌿 If you remove an hour of stress, fill it with movement, silence, or whatever restores your energy. #wellness #qigong #yoga New blog post below 👇

Hi friend. Sometimes I still feel fear when I speak while teaching. I always think: What can I teach, and how do I articulate that teaching? If you come to the Algarve and want a Qigong lesson, you already know where to find me.

When I was doing my Qigong training, I was challenged to start teaching. I had always been afraid of speaking in public, of leading large groups of people. But naturally, I found myself drawn into it, as if I were being pushed by something greater than myself. I started speaking and leading the practice with a trembling voice, my body shaking without me forcing it. Little by little, I healed those fears and doubts. Today, 10 years later, I teach classes of 30 people, and this October I'm going from 7 to 10 classes a week, with retired people now among my students. It's been a journey. Everything is an experience, and everything helps us grow and evolve as spiritual beings living an earthly experience. #qigong #wellness

I need to do that for myself: disconnect more from technology.
