Reconnect Bao (heart) & Dai (wombspace) Mai
Foundational Moves of Living Ligaments series
Clearing Qi/lymph & Blood Stagnation
What is this?
1 – An interactive responsive holistic individualised acupuncture themed energy inspired body work. We release bodily held life residue. Especially scar distress, adhesions and the consequences of being opened up – whether to birth or to ‘fix’ something – invariably we are ‘not the same since . . .’
Based on all the styles I have been exposed to and have developed further in my quest for answers when the obvious seems to NOT WORK.
2 – A romp through the structure, what binds it up in knotted tangles, into how to unwind these.
3 – Day 2 – Healing After C section – all different adhesion and scar work – based on clearing obstructions to flows – with special attention to the sacral and coccygeal areas
Who for? 
Those who seek simple answers for complex problems.
Anyone – (midwives and body workers welcome) and also . . acupuncturists who wish to advance their clinical skills into releasing deeply held perverse Qi.
Event description – An interactive experiential practical workshop supporting the Three Heaters by clearing their stagnations. From removing shock/trauma from Bao Mai that may have created disconnection to the lower heaters, we move onto the more solid representations of life.
Using the 8 Extra meridian theory of storage of perverse Qi, we discover ways to unblock lymph and Qi congestion, alleviate visceral displacement, correct diastasis, discover and gently correct uterine mal-positioning, also breaking adhesions and resolving scars. Advanced Channel Applications – Gua Sha, cups, needling and hand work feature, utilising past elder wisdoms.
When nothing else has worked – when we want to refer out as we feel lost – now – using these foundational moves – anything is possible – you will come away personally transformed as this simple work begins a new life for all.
What will you come away with?
Peace and more passion. 
A lighter more aligned body.
A deeper understanding of how simply Qi flow can shift.
Tools to work in conjunction with your usual.
Includes liberating post C section and any sacral/coccyx breakages – often decades old.
Can I use this the next day in clinic?
YES . .
What others say . .
How did this come about?
Me always seeking better results.
This is a fusion of Qi awareness, advanced channel applications, gentle belly and lymph, ligament and thus profound structural shifts – hands and heartful body interactions.
A practical and intimate workshop.
BE QUICK – small intimate space to undo all that ails YOU so you can be the healing channel you always wished to be
BRING – courage – this is self mastery
‘UNDER YOUR HAT’ – the online Pre Course 3 part introduction to show up and to get the most out of this.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS?
Multi modality – from a channel perspective – and with instant results not only needles – but using theory very differently.
What will we be covering?
This 2-day introduction into Heather’s Gentling Ways takes you (the acupuncturist – who also as a body/life in need of healing) into releasing what holds the Qi, and thus healing hostage. More on this here.
We uncover and heal stored away shock/life trauma and deep wounds that block usual means. Gently – with our hands and sometimes needles. We work extensively with scars. These hold keys to the chronic ‘bread and butter’ issues we may play with. This class highlights the simplicity of allowing Qi to flow again. We work with breath, wise women’s ways – previously only taught orally and across so many cultures. We delve into instant ways to magic the stuckness away for good.
Goals
- – Gain a clear understanding of the body’s energy and solid flows. (5 Flows – especially lymph).
- – Discover what blocks life force. (8 Extras reservoir theory)
- – Including – Poly Vagal Theory, Reichian armour bands, accident recall
- – Rework the entire Three Heater theory into practical hands-on repair of visceral displacement, vacuity (diastasis/prolapses) and leaky gut (Ileo-cecal value correction.)
- – Experience different levels of releasing what is caught up as life residue/scars
- – Practice gently relieving body resistance, allowing the clearing what has up till now prevented true healing.
Objective
To allow the Qi to flow through a body unimpeded.
Will the seminar cover more than just acupuncture?
Yes
Surprisingly simple women’s ways of knowing
INCLUDING – perineal steaming . . much adhesion breaking and body work
Hands and hearts. Real shifts in visceral placement as we focus on repositioning the organs – gently allowing the blueprint to re-establish itself. Structure does determine function. We begin with our own bodies. We move onto the classmates. This is deep work. Courage is needed to move into where you can then assist patients.
Treatment suggestions include acupuncture using Heather’s Stuck Belly Blood ways after the shock/cold (and often scars) are liberated. By undoing the past injuries and energy blockages we then do not need to micromanage acupuncture points and play with pain – the reason it is there dissolves. Most usually permanently.
What to expect?
The unexpected
Usually people have no idea what else they could feel like – til the very gentle process of unwind in the order the Reichian armour bands can release is activated.
Body and soul permission lead to alignment – and great surprise!
This woman below had been in agony for 17 years following an accident within her car, where stopping suddenly caused a large crate to hit her and give her a different whiplash.
After using 2 processes we teach in this class – before needles – she was able to turn her head so her ears touched the pillow – not for 17 years had this happened – obviously some stagnation in channels to dissipate!
People always say to me . .
“Too easy Heather!”
Yes it is .
Then we worked on why she as as the subject in the teaching class on Undoing C section residue . .(
And chronic necks are a huge part of this).
Anyone can do this . .
All we are doing is taking out blockages to life flows

Why offered?
It is likely you will need some support – this is exceptionally deep work on self.
Deceptively simple.
Who can come?
Anyone who has the courage to go beyond what is written and taught into what is stored within us all.
NOTE – this is way more than show up and go off again – you get an online course that wll instantly changes you and all you touch. As an Arvigo Self Care teacher, a Mercier worker and a very practical wise woman, we go as fast into this stunningly simple content when you come ready to dive deeply,
You must have a background knowledge of meridians as the 8 Extras supervise, regulate and maintain the flow of Qi and Blood in the 12 – and the perverse Qi stuck from the body we will be liberating! Potentially an acupuncture student would benefit massively – as we start with our own belly/Three Heater liberation – extending outwards to the world. . All gut function is improved.
Day One – Towards alignment back to Self.
Enhance optimal lymph flows – relieving Phlegm/Damp
We apply channel theory, and knowledge of 8 Extra meridians in practical wise womanly (previously oral) traditions to effect major through very gentle shifts in balance.
Included – self help – healing power of self soothing.
Structure determines function – Three Heater visceral corrective moves, the beginnings of uterine repositioning, sacral and coccygeal corrections to allow Du Mai and the other 7 Extras to flow as intended.
Day Two – Undoing Life Residue
From stored Shock/trauma to effectively needling scars – especially the pubic /lower heater to invigorate the entire being – Reconnecting Bao and Dai Mai in the process . .
Stuck Belly Blood/Undoing Energy patterns and how to reposition soft tissue – all with heartful hands-on energy applications. The acupuncture sets us free to complete the session. Missing links – touch – frees the Qi.

What others say
Who is Heather Bruce?
As a classically trained acupuncturist, and naturally inclined body and energy worker Heather has been a pragmatic clinician, course designer and teacher in Brisbane Australia, and in her home country NZ since early 1979.
As a new mother at her training’s onset, she saw all acupuncture study through maternal eyes. Using hands and heart, she has always specialized in obstetrics and fertility, and in all ‘difficult’ cases. Extensively teaching all levels of acupuncture from a classical and a meridian basis she has developed her own style of Moving Blockages to Healing.
Heather is passionate about improving and sustaining Jing. Starting with family concerns – touching, and being bonded, as the primates that we are. Aided through the transmission of world wide wise womanly oral and hands -on traditions, she intends to bring back magic into practice for all.
Extending this to undoing the Life Residue, using 8 Extras and their function of storing perverse Qi, Heather now allows uses whatever means (via the Poly Vagal – trauma release – theory to liberate Reichian armour bands thus freeing all from what blocks Qi and thus Life Flows) to allow acupuncturists to access deeper than ever before.
More on Heather’s CV is found here.

Passion and a renewed zeal for playing with QI . .Results instantly transferable to you – anyone can!
