Welcome to the December Edition of The ChiBall Newsletter. As we approach the year end and look forward to the new year, the Northern and Southern hemispheres are experiencing seasons that are literally poles apart.

In this article we explore some of the characteristics of traditional Chinese Medicine for High Summer and Winter, and give you some tasty tips for each season!

Just as traditional Chinese medicine views the human body as a reflection of the natural world, so have we reflected on the wonderful energy and support surrounding ChiBall in 2009.

This time of year is always a great opportunity to reflect on the year past and to look back at the accomplishments, events and milestones which we have celebrated.

Every year we are inundated with Christmas flyers and promotions proving that, just like every other festive season, there’s no shortage of all things pricey to choose from.

We think that the holidays can be an ideal opportunity to give presents that are more than mere novelties or fads and hope you will consider giving the gift of health and wellness from ChiBall. And as our gift to you, we'd like to offer you FREE SHIPPING this Christmas on all ChiBall products bought online.

We're excited to introduce new Dance of the Dragon workshops to further enrich your journey with the ChiBall Method™ in 2010.

Tina Hedren is a Master Trainer for the ChiBall Method™ based in Sweden and has also been awarded the licence to train ChiBall teachers in Norway, Finland, Denmark and of course Sweden.

Tina is a wonderful asset to the ChiBall faculty and her experience and knowledge as a fully qualified Feldenkrais practioner provides us with a unique education curriculum for our students. We are happy to share her journey and experience with you.

Since its inception more than ten years ago, the ChiBall Method™ has developed from a unique and innovative mind-body exercise programme, into a professional organization delivering world-class education and supporting the growth and development of the mind-body industry.

As the most comprehensive mind-body programme on the market, our products, classes, and trainings have been delivered around the world into over 40 countries.

To realise continued growth and improvement in our business our vision is:

This month the ChiBall Team exhibited at the Body Mind Psychic Expo at the Adelaide Showgrounds. This was an interesting event to say the least!  Alongside the more mainstream healthcare and insurance companies were alternative therapy practitioners, as well as the more unconventional psychic and energy healers.

This was a great opportunity for people to learn about the wide range of complementary approaches to health and wellbeing, and we thoroughly enjoyed speaking with many of the 10,000 mainstream and alternative thinkers who came by our stand to learn more about the ChiBall Method™ and how it helps to restore balance and wellbeing in our lives.

We recently marked 2009 Earth Day here at ChiBall’s Head Office with our own recycle, re-use and refurbish themes.  Until now all of our filming productions have been primarily released and distributed on DVD, with the exception being the short instructional video, “What is the ChiBall Method?”, which is available online.

To continue to reduce our environmental footprint, we will be increasing the videos and materials made available online, hence reducing unnecessary usage and waste of raw materials.
