“It’s a gentle stream of vitalising warmth flowing around my two energy channels! After two years of practice – mostly observant, according to the method taught by Fontane – my Microcosmic Orbit has opened.
At first I thought that I was directing it as I focused momentarily on each point, but to my delight, I then felt a continuous circuit of inner warmth sweeping down from the Dan Tian, up and then over, and down within my body. It can become quite hot, but it is always enjoyable and wonderful.
I practise the Microcosmic Orbit a short time before going to bed. It enhances my sleep and my sense of well-being during the day, and has given me even more faith and confidence in Qigong for increasing energy and stimulating self-healing.”

“What I have gained so far from the Microcosmic Orbit practice:
● less tired and better sleep
● sensing the energy flows within my body and particularly at the energy centres
● peace and calm within myself
● more easily able to work under pressure without the impact of the stress and quicker recovery
Of all the practices I’ve learnt from the Tai Chi Academy, this is the best, the most helpful …… so far!”

“My experience has been really good. I’ve been able to feel the free flow of energy through the main centres, and understand that it has its own consciousness to find where it needs to go to help the areas where needed (lower back in my case). I’ve gained a lot of extra energy, feel amazing and it seems to help me in long tiring days at work, especially physical labour. It has also helped me with self discipline knowing how good this tool is and how it has benefitted my life and others to lead a relaxing stress-free life. Thank you.”

“I have thoroughly enjoyed the Microcosmic Orbit course. The first class where my insides were vibrating was just extraordinary. Fontane’s instructions and explanations have been great.”

“Doing regular Microcosmic Orbit practice has benefitted me in a number of ways:
● more energy ● clarity
● ability to calm myself when needed (less anxiety)
● increased sensitivity to thoughts, feelings and body awareness
I’ve also noticed that during the course, my other qigong practices have deepened. And I feel like this is only the beginning ……”

“I found that I feel more relaxed but alert and content – happier. This feeling continues for longer the more I practise.”

“The explanations that Fontane gave about Qigong and its working filled in a lot of gaps in my knowledge and enabled me to put the pieces together and gain a greater understanding of the purpose of the practice and Qigong on a grander scale.
From my practice, I have noticed that my health has slowly improved and my energy levels have been steadily increasing to levels I haven’t felt for some time. I also noticed that I don’t feel unwell as often as I was in the past, which is great!
During the following months of practising the Orbit, I started to feel lots of nice sensations which included the moving of the energy along the two channels and the various points along the meridians. Finally after about 10 months or so, one night while practising, my Orbit finally opened. I was able to feel the energy moving down between my legs, up the spine and over my head like a waterfall in a continuous loop. It was a great surprise and a great experience that lasted several minutes.
I can recommend the Microcosmic Orbit training to anyone interested in Qigong or if you have a health issue. It’s easy to learn. It could be one of the best things you do for yourself, and your overall health.
Fontane is a great teacher and is willing to share her knowledge and experience of this very beneficial practice.”

“On a recent flight from Sydney to Perth, I was extremely tired. We had gone to bed at midnight after packing the car, then woken at 2am to drive to Sydney Airport for a 7:00am flight. The two kids aged 4 and 7 did not go to sleep either in the car or on the plane. I was sitting with them trying to keep them entertained while my husband sat a few rows away.
After 2-3 hours' flying, by 10am I was so tired, I felt like crying! I then swapped seats with my husband and was able to close my eyes at last. I can never sleep on planes, so I decided to practise the Microcosmic Orbit meditation while I had the chance. I didn't feel anything during the meditation. But when I opened my eyes at the end, I immediately noticed I wasn't tired anymore. We landed in Perth at lunchtime and I was able to manage the whole rest of that day without feeling tired, until about 10pm that night.”
