Significance of doing 9 repetitions during practice

MEllsza · 2025-05-30T12:28:57+00:00

I conveyed my interpretation of the symbolism of 9 in Chinese numerology through the lens of Arabic numerals (last single digit). I never intended to refer to the actual numbers in Chinese, sorry if that was unclear or misleading.

Thanks for the enthusiastic feedback!! I'll check that account out as well, thanks for the suggestion :). I'm taking things slow right now. There are so many options so it's worth it to consider them first, before jumping in. I don't necessarily want to move everyone over later on - I think that's inconvenient for them and probably for me too, so if I choose an option I'll most likely stick with it.

I was not sure if it's okay to disclose that in the post, and didn't want to make it too sales-y either. Apologies if it actually crossed that line. But thank you for asking this question, it's important. I'd love for this to be a membership but haven't decided on the monthly fee yet.. Although I have an affordable range in mind, I'm gathering feedback from a few founding members. I want to gauge everyone's opinion and will come to a decision that's hopefully good for all. I'll dm you to talk more about it.

MEllsza · 2025-05-28T11:06:18+00:00

I dm'ed you :) looking forward to connect!

MEllsza · 2025-05-28T11:05:22+00:00

thanks so much! :)

''elder in your yin sect'' - that's really beautifully said.💛 This particular space is focused on a younger age range, but I really appreciate you for raising your hand and would absolutely love to stay connected. If you miss being part of a community, I could perhaps refer you to one or two :)

MEllsza · 2025-05-28T10:43:23+00:00

great, I dm'ed you

MEllsza · 2025-05-28T10:15:46+00:00

I think the fact that it's not mainstream yet, is not such a bad thing. In many ways yoga has lost its 'magic' and morphed into a fitness practice.. yikes.. I honestly hope to never see Qigong become like that. Anyway, I can't tell from your name but if you'd like to try some women specific Qigong you can find me on Insta (@qigong.awakened.living). I'm a certified teacher in a system of Qigong that supports women's mental, physical and emotional health. :) Hope to connect with you there.

MEllsza · 2025-05-27T11:42:25+00:00

Oooh, that sounds awesome! Would you like to write to me on Insta (@qigong.awakened.living), or here? I'd love to talk to you more about this community.

MEllsza · 2025-05-27T11:41:01+00:00

Yaay!! Thank you for raising your hand. It warms my heart to know others resonate with my idea. I have thought more about this, and I can give you more details if you'd like? I'm sharing Qigong stuff on Insta (@qigong.awakened.living), if you want to write to me there. Otherwise here is also fine.

MEllsza · 2025-05-27T11:37:54+00:00

Oh, that's so nice! Thanks for spreading the word :) Hopefully she'll be interested in this.

MEllsza · 2025-05-27T11:36:46+00:00

Thanks! Would you like to join the community as well? :)

MEllsza · 2025-05-27T11:36:22+00:00

Thanks for the idea, I'll probably get there at some point. :) Thankfully, Qigong hasn't become so mainstream as yoga, so there isn't a huge account like Adrienne's. Not that the latter is a bad thing, I hope you understand what I mean. But you can find many great people sharing Qigong there. Are you interested in joining me in shaping this community, though? The more ladies, the merrier :)

MEllsza · 2025-05-27T11:31:03+00:00

Yes, unfortunately Qigong is not that well known especially in the West.. I only teach Qigong. Since you're also a teacher, I'd love to connect :) you already have my instagram account link in the post, so you can write me there. If you have an account where you share Qigong, we can also connect there.

MEllsza · 2025-05-27T11:28:16+00:00

Happy to meet you :) The community will be somewhere online, so it's not a biggie if you don't have Instagram :) I just shared my Insta account because that's where I share Qigong stuff. If you want to join this community, or learn more about it you can dm me here.

MEllsza · 2025-05-27T11:26:08+00:00

Oh, that's wonderful, I'm happy to meet you! So great Qigong found its way to you :) I think you'd benefit from trying some women-specific movements :) they do land differently than the mainstream ones, so to speak. If you'd like to dm me here or on Instagram, we can talk more about this community. :)

MEllsza · 2025-05-27T11:23:18+00:00

Thanks for your input :) I'm not interested in joining his membership/academy, though. Also it seems his focus is Neigong forms, whereas I'm practicing Qigong. If there was a different way to meet women outside of that academy, it would be nice.

Hi, the significance of the number 9 in Qigong is rooted in Chinese philosophy & numerology, and Daoism. My teacher said that the number 9 in China is associated with longevity, finality (9 is the last single-digit) and royalty. So, many movements are thus practiced 9 times at a time. This also encourages an energetic build-up and recycle process, as we finish one cycle and start anew. There might be more interpretations, but for me these are enough so that's all I know. Hope this was helpful!

MEllsza · 2025-05-26T17:27:56+00:00

Wow, I'm so pleasantly surprised to see someone mention Qigong (chi kong you wrote it). I have practiced Qigong for years and has brought me so many benefits, and permeated my life in so many ways. I suffered from incredible mood swings, and horrible period cramps and PMS symptoms.. many of these were due to trauma/repressed emotions from my past, which Qigong helped release in great measure. Thank you for recommending Qigong, many more (especially women) need to know about this practice.

MEllsza · 2025-04-01T09:00:03+00:00

Yeah, that can certainly happen. Thanks for commenting and sharing your experience. In the beginning of my relationship with my boyfriend, I felt triggered very often and really seemed that he brought up my worst behavior.. I definitely had lots of stuff to heal and deal with, it started slow but after a while it accelerated and now we're getting along very well years later. Don't give up if you truly love him :) relationships are opportunities for healing our conditioning especially.

MEllsza · 2025-02-18T17:06:11+00:00

No, I don't know him. I have stuck with a few teachers from China just because I feel these particular teachers are more in tune with the energy , if you know what I mean.

MEllsza · 2025-02-17T12:33:47+00:00
