Qi Gong & Sound Healing Testimonials: Real Stories from Long Ditton

September 04, 2025•13 min read

Qi Gong and sound healing testimonials from Long Ditton offer a direct and personal view of what participants experienced at the Awaken the Energy Within Workshop.

It can be difficult to understand a workshop fully from a description alone. Participant stories reveal what the teaching, practical exercises, Korean-style Qi Gong, community atmosphere and sound-healing experience felt like to the people who were actually in the room.

The testimonials gathered here include experiences from complete beginners, regular Qi Gong students and people attending their first workshop. Participants speak about clear teaching, bodily awareness, relaxation, connection with others, sound vibration and the welcoming atmosphere. These are their individual experiences rather than results that can be guaranteed for everyone.

To see the current practical details and learn more about attending, visit the Awaken the Energy Within Workshop page.

“These testimonials offer an honest picture of how different participants experienced the teaching, movement, sound and community within the workshop.”

Awaken the Energy Within Sound Healing And Qi Gong Workshop in Long Ditton

Sam Lowe: Deepening an Existing Qi Gong Practice

Sam Lowe attended the workshop with previous experience of Peter’s regular Qi Gong classes. His testimonial shows that the event can offer value not only to complete beginners, but also to people who already have an established practice.

“Peter is a professional instructor and offers a good range of Qi Gong movements. He explains the philosophy very well. The course is good for any age and ability range.
“The three aspects of the three-hour workshop were excellent, with movement, chanting, sound bath and vibration using our own voice to feel the energy.
“I thoroughly enjoy Peter’s class every week, and this workshop was an advancement to my practice. I would definitely recommend anybody to try a class or a workshop.”

Sam particularly valued the combination of practical movement, philosophical teaching, chanting, vocal vibration and sound healing. His experience suggests that the workshop can provide an opportunity for regular students to explore familiar principles in a broader and more immersive setting.

“Sam’s experience shows how the workshop can deepen an existing Qi Gong practice through teaching, movement, sound and shared exploration.”

Carl Crossman: A Welcoming First Workshop Experience

Carl Crossman attended his first workshop with no previous experience of the event. His testimonial focuses on the sound vibration healing, the variety of practices and the overall atmosphere.

“The sound vibration healing was really good. I enjoyed all the practices, the whole experience was wonderful.
“It was my first workshop and I had a great time, and I wouldn’t know how it could have been better.”

Carl’s experience is especially relevant for people who feel uncertain about attending for the first time. He describes enjoying the whole workshop rather than only one element, suggesting that the combination of movement, sound and guided practice felt accessible and complete from a beginner’s perspective.

“Carl’s first workshop experience shows how the combination of practices can feel welcoming, enjoyable and easy to engage with.”

Lisa Tawfik: Clear Teaching in a Friendly and Welcoming Environment

Lisa Tawfik’s testimonial highlights Peter’s passion for the practices he teaches, as well as the warm and inclusive atmosphere of the workshop.

“Peter is a wonderful soul who clearly not only is very passionate about the practices he teaches, but also about helping others to help themselves in the same way he has for himself.
“Lots was learned and experienced, and all in a very friendly and welcoming environment for all.
“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

Lisa’s experience emphasises two important qualities of the workshop: clear learning and a supportive environment. Her words suggest that participants are not only introduced to the practices, but are also encouraged to explore how those practices may support their own personal wellbeing.

“Lisa’s experience highlights the value of passionate teaching, practical learning and a welcoming environment.”

Deborah Gray: Connection, Comfort and a Sense of Belonging

Deborah Gray’s testimonial speaks powerfully about the human connection she experienced during the workshop. She describes arriving with feelings of loneliness and disconnection, then feeling welcomed and embraced by the people around her.

“I found the workshop a wonderful experience. I was able to connect to people, and they embraced me.
“Therefore, I felt nurtured and comforted, because in my life, I am alone and can feel disconnected from other people. This workshop can transcend our present state of fear and isolation.
“While being with like-minded people who share compassion and kindness, we can discover who we are. By getting in touch with our bodies and our feelings, it is liberating and transforming when we can embrace what it truly means to be human.
“This is a must for anyone who wants to see change and experience a sense of freedom.”

Deborah’s words reveal how meaningful a welcoming group environment can feel to someone experiencing isolation. Her description of liberation, transformation and freedom reflects her personal response to the workshop and should not be treated as a promised outcome for every participant.

“Deborah’s experience highlights how warmth, compassion and shared practice can help someone feel welcomed, comforted and less alone.”

Janet Atkins: Clear Teaching, Body Awareness and Rest

Janet Atkins appreciated the way the workshop combined clear explanations with active participation. Her testimonial also reflects how the Qi Gong helped her notice areas of physical tightness before the sound-healing part of the session.

“Peter’s workshop was excellent. I especially liked the fact Peter explained everything and engaged everyone in all the activities. The Qi Gong was amazing and made me aware of areas of my body that were tight.
“The sound healing and opening of the chakras was amazing. Three hours passed by so quickly, too. Peter is a wonderful instructor. His teaching and sense of humour made this a wonderful day. Felt refreshed afterwards and slept so well that night.”

Janet’s experience brings together several recurring themes from the workshop: understandable teaching, active involvement, bodily awareness, sound healing and a warm atmosphere. Her comments about feeling refreshed and sleeping well describe her personal response and should not be presented as a guaranteed outcome for every participant.

“Janet’s experience highlights the value of clear teaching, active participation and a gradual journey from bodily awareness into sound and rest.”

Christine Weston: Feeling Calm and Lighter After the Workshop

Christine Weston’s testimonial focuses on the sense of calm and release she experienced during and after the workshop.

“The workshop on Sunday was really good. I really enjoyed it. I was amazed at how relaxed and calm I felt.
“After the whole session finished, I felt so empty, as if a weight had been lifted off me. Completely looking forward to the next workshop.”

Christine’s words show how strongly the experience affected her personally. She describes feeling calmer, lighter and keen to attend again, while her image of a weight being lifted captures the sense of release she noticed after the session.

This was Christine’s individual response and should not be presented as an outcome that every participant will experience.

“Christine’s experience reflects the deep sense of calm and release she personally felt after taking part in the workshop.”

Nicola Rotheroe: Clear Guidance, Sound Healing and Shared Connection

Nicola Rotheroe’s testimonial highlights the balance between clear teaching, practical Qi Gong exercises, sound healing and the social warmth of the workshop.

“The opening introduction of the workshop was an easy-to-understand view of the world of Qi Gong, followed with Peter’s clear, concise instruction to the energy-building exercise routines.
“A chance to experience the sound healing was a very relaxing close to the session, and to feel the stillness continued to the next day was amazing.
“Overall, the afternoon was a pleasant and fun way to meet other like-minded people. I look forward to the next one!”

Nicola valued both the educational and experiential sides of the workshop. Her words show how the introductory teaching helped make Qi Gong understandable, while the sound-healing close and the opportunity to meet others made the afternoon feel complete.

Her description of continued stillness reflects her personal experience rather than an outcome that can be promised to everyone.

“Nicola’s experience brings together clear teaching, practical Qi Gong, sound healing and the warmth of shared connection.”

Carol Hardy: Relaxation, Better Sleep and a Different Kind of Exercise

Carol Hardy’s testimonial shows how Korean-style Qi Gong can feel distinct from more familiar forms of exercise, even for someone who has already been attending regular classes.

“Although I have been attending Qi Gong with Peter and Jan for a year now, before that I don’t think I’d even heard of it. So I was curious, more than anything, to give it a try.
“I can’t pinpoint why I like it, but it is different from my other forms of exercise and keeping fit, and I feel very relaxed afterwards.
“It also, I think, helps me to sleep better and to keep things in perspective on the golf course!”

Carol’s experience highlights the gentler, reflective quality of Qi Gong. She valued it not only as movement, but as something that helped her feel more relaxed and approach everyday situations with greater perspective.

Her comments about sleep and relaxation reflect her own experience and should not be treated as a guaranteed result for every participant.

“Carol’s experience shows how Qi Gong can offer a gentler and more reflective complement to other forms of exercise.”

What These Qi Gong and Sound Healing Testimonials Reveal

Although each participant describes the workshop differently, several clear themes appear across their experiences.

Some valued the way the teaching made Qi Gong, sound healing and spirituality easier to understand. Others appreciated the range of practices, including movement, chanting, vocal vibration, meditation and the sound bath.

Several participants spoke about feeling relaxed, refreshed or more aware of their bodies. Others highlighted the welcoming atmosphere, Peter’s clear instruction and sense of humour, or the opportunity to connect with like-minded people.

The testimonials also show that the workshop can appeal to people at different stages. Carl attended his first workshop, while Sam experienced it as a way to deepen an existing Qi Gong practice. Carol described Qi Gong as different from her usual forms of exercise, and Deborah spoke movingly about feeling comforted and less disconnected from others.

These shared themes help explain the workshop more clearly than promotional claims alone. They do not guarantee that every participant will have the same response, but they offer an honest picture of what different people valued about the experience.
