Qigong Flow for Menopause with James Saper

In this empowering video, James Saper guides you through a six-move Qigong sequence designed to support women during menopause. These gentle yet powerful movements help alleviate symptoms by addressing the underlying energetic changes in the body as understood through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, or simply seeking balance, this practice offers grounding and renewal.

Qigong for Menopause Sequence Overview:

01:57 | Double Hands Supporting the Heavens
03:00 | Raising the Arms, Turning the Waist
04:38 | Raising and Lowering the Palms
05:45 | Clearing Heart Fire
07:10 | Wind Blows the Lotus Leaf
09:20 | Centering the Heart

Why Qigong for Menopause?

James dives into how these movements help restore balance during the transition of menopause. In TCM, menopause represents a shift in the body’s energetic channels, particularly the vessel connecting the stomach, heart, and mouth. This vessel, which once flowed downward, begins to flow upward, causing common symptoms associated with menopause. This sequence is designed to regulate these changes, release excess heat, and establish a new dynamic for the body and mind.

What You’ll Learn:

  • 11:15 | How Qigong helps with menopause symptoms
  • 12:00 | The broader TCM perspective on menopause and channel changes
  • 15:35 | Revisiting the moves to regulate and balance energy
  • 21:25 | Clearing Heart Fire: Aligning the body and releasing heat
  • 23:30 | Finding smooth motion and alignment in the core channels
  • 28:00 | The importance of reflection and stillness in your practice

Why Learn from James?

James thoughtfully addresses the question of why a man is teaching Qigong for menopause. His explanation expands on the TCM perspective of this transformative phase as a time for reflection and growth. This sequence isn’t just for women—it’s a practice that anyone can use to navigate life’s transitions with grace and awareness.

Practice Tips:

  • Repeat this short sequence regularly.
  • Focus on sensing, not achieving.
  • Embrace stillness and reflection as essential components of your practice.
