jallibe Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Hi  I'm based in SE England. I've been learning about spirituality for 2 years and just started practicing Qigong and Neigong and reading about Taoism a couple of months ago. I love practicing barefoot in the local woods when I can. I tend to achieve a deeper state of mind in meditation and experience more physical sensations than when practicing indoors. I wonder if this is due to the connection to the earth.  I've found myself spending many hours trawling through TB posts and would like to join.  Cheers!

jallibe Posted March 16, 2017 Thanks! Yeah it's pretty beautiful practicing out in nature. Found a great spot in a secret forest near me (not many of those around her ). Opened my eyes after a sung breathing session the other day to find a deer mooching around right next to me! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
