About this event

  • 1 day 6 hours

Overview

A holistic mind-and-body approach is applied. The program includes both seated and standing tai chi qigong (shibashi) designed to improve mobility, balance and confidence. The set is progressive and can be speeded up to make it more aerobic as people progress over the weeks. In addition to learning tai chi qigong, the program covers history of tai chi, mindfulness, relaxation and motivation.


Outcomes

The aims and objectives of the program are to introduce patients/students to a progressive form of exercise for mind and body. The gentle nature of tai chi qigong (shibashi) makes it ideal for all levels of fitness and mobility. As the practice of tai chi qigong is so accessible, it has been found that people practice more regularly and look to progress further into the art of tai chi. The overall aim is to encourage, those taking part, to continue exercising in the long term and thereby gaining the longer-term benefits of tai chi and qigong.

Mark's first experience of NLP was in the field of Change Management and it soon became obvious that ALL developmental work is in fact change management, even if named otherwise, as doing something different requires a development of process and therefore a change of thinking and doing.

NLP - Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) studies the structure of how humans think and experience the world. From this we can create the opportunity for change. The map is not the territory is the key presupposition of NLP; by appreciating that your map (or how you see/do something) is not the same as another person's map of any given belief or situation. Understanding this removes barriers to effective communication allowing individuals and organisations to develop exponentially.

How it started

I first become involved in NLP in the early 2000’s when I was managing and engineering company. We were restructuring at the time and all I seemed to talk about was “change management”. My wife introduced me to Martin Roberts who specialised in NLP and the management of change (I think she was sick of hearing me go on...)
I met him, read his book and trained with him; the results were amazing as I understood more clearly through the concept of ‘the map is not the territory’. The NLP model fitted me so well as it systems based (cybernetics).
From there I completed my NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner with Matt Caulfield and Bob Spour who are trainers for SNLP (Bandler).
I have since trained with both Bandler and Grinder. I Then trained with Michael Breen on a number of courses including Coaching, trainer training and more. Most recently I completed my Trainer Training with Christine Hall and am in the process of completing my Master-Trainer with her.
For hypnosis I trained at Dudley Road Hospital with BSMAH. I then gained accreditation through Stafford University before training in Oxford and becoming a registered Advanced Practitioner with GHR/GHSC.
