Each of us has a dominant center – wisdom, love, or action – but true freedom comes when we bring all three into balance.In this session from the Great Energy Immersion, we explore:- Why the busy mind alone can’t bring relaxation, forgiveness, or nervous system reset- How the heart center connects us to compassion, kindness, and emotional integration- Why embodied practices help us break free from unconscious patterns and conditioning- The shift from automatic, reactive habits into conscious choice and presenceYou’ll discover why the mind, when guided by wisdom and love, becomes a powerful organizer – but when left unchecked, it keeps us stuck in old programming.The takeaway: Your unconscious patterns don’t want your freedom.

Welcome to the Love Your Life Podcast with Daniela Hess 💛

In this episode, Daniela offers a heartfelt exploration into why this work exists and the deeper purpose behind her offerings — to support women on the path to healing, wholeness, and inner freedom.

She shares:

🧘‍♀️ The importance of starting with the physical body in any healing journey

📅 A look into the weekly rhythm of the community — from astrology to emotional intelligence practice
🌸 Sneak peek into the upcoming Women’s Midlife Health Mini-Course

Whether you're navigating a transition, seeking more energy, or craving a supportive sisterhood — this episode invites you to remember: you are not alone on this path. Healing is layered, sacred, and entirely possible.

Your energy is the foundation of how you experience life. When you cultivate and attend to your energy, everything begins to shift — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

In this class, Daniela Hess of Great Energy introduces a foundational principle: the quality of your energy determines the quality of your life. We are not separate from life force — we are life force. Qigong, as a practice, gives us direct access to this understanding by working through the physical body, which ripples outward to the mental, emotional, energetic, and even bliss bodies.

Daniela encourages students to check in daily: “What is the state of my energy?” — because our relationships, our inner world, and our purpose are all shaped by that internal state. By gently exploring our relationship with the body — whether through movement, breathwork, or inquiry — we begin to reclaim our birthright: to live as Great Energy.

Christopher reinforces this by explaining the purpose and accessibility of Qigong — a skillful, repeatable method for clearing the body, heart, and mind through flowing movement and meditation. These Sunday practices are open to everyone, requiring no prior experience, and serve as an entry point into cultivating one’s highest expression of being.

Ultimately, we’re reminded that we’re here to embody the transcendent — and Qigong gives us the tools to do just that, one breath and one movement at a time.
