Many years ago I met Kay in Rhinebeck, New York, during an Energy Medicine class.
One day she asked me whether it was really possible to see energy. My answer was that we experience energy in many different ways. Some people report seeing it, others feeling it, hearing it, or sensing it in ways that are difficult to explain. When we slow down and become more present, our senses often awaken to subtle experiences we might otherwise overlook.
Like any skill, this awareness can be cultivated. Nature is constantly changing with the seasons, the movement of the Earth, and the rhythms of all living things. We are part of this continual dance, even when we forget it.
Qigong helps us reconnect with that awareness. Through mindful movement, breath, and focused attention, we begin to sense the flow of life force within ourselves and our connection to the world around us. With practice, our perception deepens, bringing greater harmony, vitality, and a sense of oneness.
I’ll never forget Kay’s expression when she experienced something completely new during class. Her jaw dropped as she watched shimmering ribbons of colour flowing from her fingertips. Whether you describe it as seeing energy or simply awakening to a new level of awareness, it became a turning point in her life. Inspired by that experience, she went on to create Radiant Journey, her beautiful healing studio in Bandera, Texas.
Every Monday this summer, we’re gathering online for a live Energy Medicine and Qigong class with the Radiant Journey community. Technology makes it easy to join us from wherever you are, and Mondays have become one of my favourite days of the week. If you’re curious about Qigong or would simply like to experience a gentle practice that nurtures body, mind, and spirit, we’d love to have you join us.
