Get your energy flowing so you can say 'YES' to more of the things you want to do again
You used to be the person who was in the middle of everything. Hosting the Christmas party, saying yes to a day out, going for a walk with friends without wondering how you’d feel afterwards.
When you’re living with an autoimmune condition and persistent low energy, every yes can feel as though it comes with a cost. You’ve probably been told to rest, pace yourself and try not to get stressed, not always easy when you have a life and family to get on with.
But what if managing your energy isn’t the only thing you can do?
What if there’s something else quietly using up some of that energy - tension you may not even realise you’re carrying?
You might be thinking: 'I know I get stressed, but what does tension have to do with my energy?'
That’s the connection I hadn’t made either.
What if just 5–10 minutes of simple energy practices at different points in your day could help you release some of that tension and start putting something back in?
Beyond Limits is a 6-week online group programme combining Qigong & EFT, where I’ll show you simple, gentle practices to release physical tension, support your energy and work with some of those automatic responses.
When your life revolves around how much energy you have
I used to manage my energy like money I couldn’t afford to waste.
How much have I got today? What can I afford to spend it on? If I do this now, what is it going to cost me afterwards?
Perhaps you recognise that.
You wake up already tired, or you get through the morning and suddenly hit a wall. You want to say yes to seeing friends, go for a walk or simply get through an ordinary day without constantly calculating whether you have enough energy.
After a while, you can become very good at managing it. You rest, pace yourself, plan ahead and make choices based on what you think your body will cope with.
I did all of that too.
The problem was that even when I became very good at managing my energy, I still felt as though my batteries had been removed.
I knew how to manage what I had. What I didn’t know was whether there was anything I could do to start putting something back.
What changed for me
For years, movement felt like another withdrawal from an already overdrawn energy account. If I did yoga or Pilates, I would feel terrible for the rest of the day. Sometimes even a walk could leave me feeling as though I’d done too much.
Then I discovered Qigong. I started with really small amounts of gentle movement and noticed something I hadn’t expected. Instead of feeling depleted afterwards, I often felt more energised and more relaxed. For the first time, it felt as though I’d found a way of putting something back into my energy account.I practised little and often and gradually built from there.
Then I noticed something else. I could finish my Qigong feeling relaxed and energised, then get a message or phone call, start worrying or overthinking, and before I knew it my body had tensed up again. That’s when I realised I needed to look at what was happening in my mind as well as my body.
That's where EFT came in. I began to recognise some of my own automatic patterns that could bring that tension back: worrying, overthinking, finding it difficult to say no and responding to certain situations in ways I’d been doing for years.
As I started using EFT alongside Qigong, I realised they were helping me in different ways.
Qigong helped me release physical tension and support my energy, while EFT helped me work with the automatic responses and patterns that could bring that tension back again.
It was the combination of the two that made such a difference for me.
That became the foundation of The Living Proof Method: Release. Restore. Rebuild. and it’s now at the heart of Beyond Limits.
Why I created Beyond Limits
I’ve lived with MS for over 20 years, and there was a time when fatigue affected almost every decision I made. My own experience led me to Qigong & EFT and eventually to train professionally in both.
Today I’m a qualified Qigong teacher and accredited EFT practitioner, and I created Beyond Limits to share the simple practices and tools I wish I had understood when I was trying to find my own way through persistent low energy.
This isn’t about pushing yourself harder or giving you another long list of things you should be doing.
It’s about showing you practical ways to support your mind and body together.
Beyond Limits is a new programme, but the Qigong & EFT practices at the heart of it are approaches I already use in my classes and with clients. Here are a few words from people who have experienced working with me:
I have been able to implement the EFT and Qigong practises into my daily routines even when not having a session. I feel much more in control of my physical health symptoms and emotions and understand how intertwined these can be.
Jane taught me EFT & Qigong techniques I could do on my own. I am now a whole new woman who hasn’t taken a single painkiller in at least four months and symptom wise I would have no idea now that I have Endometriosis.
With your first words I knew that I was going to love this. I felt very connected throughout and surprisingly energised afterwards. I couldn't stop smiling all day and felt you had given me a gift.
What happens during the six weeks?
If you’re already living with low energy, the last thing you need is another programme that feels like something else you have to find the energy for.
Each 60-minute online session will be a combination of coaching, guidance and gentle Qigong & EFT practices. We won’t be practising for the whole hour. There’ll be time to understand what we’re working on, experience the practices together, ask questions and look at how you can use them in your own life.
Between sessions, you’ll have short videos and practices based on what we’ve covered together, many of which can be used for just 5–10 minutes at different points in your day. You’ll have time to become familiar with them before we build on them in the next session.
You don’t need to be fit or flexible or have any previous experience of Qigong or EFT. The practices can be adapted to suit you, including doing the Qigong seated or standing.
We’ll also look at how to make these tools part of everyday life, even when you’re tired, busy or something else takes priority.
By the end of the six weeks, I don’t want you to have a folder full of videos you’ve watched once.
I want you to have your own toolbox of simple practices you know well enough to use for yourself.
Weeks 1–2: Start putting something back in
We’ll start gently with simple Qigong & EFT practices to help you begin releasing some of the physical tension you may have been carrying without even realising it, while supporting your energy and calming a busy mind.
Weeks 3–4: Notice where your energy is going
As the practices become more familiar, we’ll start looking at some of the automatic patterns that may be using up energy without you realising. Things such as worry, overthinking and responses you’ve been repeating for years.
You’ll learn simple ways to use EFT when these patterns show up, rather than allowing them to automatically take over.
Weeks 5–6: Bring the two together
We’ll bring everything together so you can begin choosing Qigong, EFT or both depending on what you need that day.
The aim is for you to understand your own toolbox and know what you can turn to when you want to release tension, calm a busy mind or give your energy some support.
What you'll receive
You'll have 6 x 60-minute live group sessions with me on Zoom. All of the sessions will be recorded, so please don't worry if you can't join live. I've designed the programme so you can still follow everything and work through it in your own time using the recordings and practices between sessions. The live sessions are lovely, but if you can't make them, you won't miss out.
You’ll also be able to ask questions and share experiences in the group between sessions, so you can feel supported and learn alongside people who understand what it’s like to live with low energy.
Between our sessions, you'll have short Qigong & EFT videos and practices based on what we’ve covered together to use at home. Many can be used for just 5–10 minutes at different points in your day, so you have time to become familiar with the tools before we build on them in the next session, without feeling like you have another course to keep up with.
The practices build as we go, so by the end of Beyond Limits you'll have your own toolbox of simple practices you know how and when to use, and can continue using long after our six weeks together have finished.
FAQs
-
That’s exactly why the programme has been designed around short, gentle practices. You won’t be expected to keep up with long sessions or push your body. We’ll build gradually and you can adapt the practices depending on how you’re feeling.
-
That’s absolutely fine. Beyond Limits has been designed so you can still take part even if you can’t attend live. All of the sessions will be recorded, so you can watch them in your own time and use the practices between sessions. You’ll also still be able to ask questions and join in with the group between sessions, so you won’t miss out on the support.
-
Not at all. I’ll teach you everything you need during the programme, and the practices are designed to be simple enough to become tools you can use for yourself.
-
No. Each session will be a combination of coaching, guidance and gentle Qigong & EFT practices. There’ll be time to understand what we’re working on, practise together, ask questions and look at how you can use the tools in your everyday life.
-
You’ll have short Qigong & EFT videos and practices to use between our online sessions, based on what we’ve covered together. There aren’t lots of modules or lessons to work through on your own. The focus is simply on practising the tools and becoming familiar with them before we build on them in the next session.
There’s no perfect routine to follow either. Part of Beyond Limits is learning how to make Qigong & EFT fit around your life and your energy, so they become tools you can actually use rather than another programme you have to keep up with.
