2026 #3 Qigong Practice: Water Element

Qigong

January 21, 2026

In this week’s practice, we are working with the water element. This is the element associated with the kidneys and the bladder. When our water element is balanced, this strengthens our sense of adaptability and problem-solving, making this a wonderful element to work with when moving towards our desires for change. The water element supports rest and rejuvenation.

If you’re used to operating at a high level but feel mentally overloaded, constantly “on,” or slightly disconnected from your natural clarity—this is for you.

Each week, I share:
  • Simple qigong practices to regulate your nervous system
  • Reflections on clarity, focus, and sustainable performance
  • Practical ways to reduce internal friction and think more clearly

This isn’t about doing more.

It’s about removing what’s in the way.
