Qi Gong & Sound Healing Testimonials: Real Stories from Long Ditton
When deciding to try something new, there’s nothing more reassuring than hearing from people who’ve already experienced it. At the Awaken the Energy Within Workshop, held in Long Ditton (KT6), participants often leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected.

Here are some of their stories in their own words.
Janet Atkins: “I Slept So Well That Night”
“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.”
Christine Weston: “A Weight Had Been Lifted”
“The workshop on Sunday was really good, 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.”
Nicola Rotheroe: “Stillness Continued to the Next Day”
“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!”
Carol Hardy: “Helps Me Sleep Better”
“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/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!”
