    This was the perfect routine-full of everything I love so much. Nick...you are one hella good person and I cannot thank you enough for all you have generosly taught me over the past 3+ years. It was during covid lockdown that I was teaching yoga online through my library when a qigong class was added and from their, my friend Deb who also takes your classes and I started our qigong journey. We have steadily practiced qigong mostly every day for the past 938 days and you have been a big part of that journey. Thank you.

    Thank you Nick. Beautiful and just in time for me to do before bed this evening. I’m a new subscriber and am enjoying many of your videos and learning Qigong which has been on my list for a few years now. I was wondering if you had a session for the vagus nerve (I couldn’t find one) and if not, if you’d do one for us? After decades of trauma (physical and mental/emotional) my vagus nerve is needing a lot of attention and since your videos have helped me so much just in a little over a week (doing at least 1 or 2 a day) I’m hopeful you may have one that will help reset my vagus nerve or at least get it further calmed down with a targeted session. Thank you for considering! I appreciate you sharing your teachings and experiences ✨✨✨✨

The pains are sharp, sudden and brief, used to happen when I've been doing qigong very often. As a result I don't practice as often as before, or only practice when weather is cold
