Medical Qigong
Medical qigong therapy is the oldest of the four branches of Chinese Medicine and provides the energetic foundation from which acupuncture, herbal healing and Chinese massage originated.
All living bodies generate an external field of energy called ’Wei chi’ which translates as ’protective energy.’ The Wei chi includes the three external layers of the body’s auric and subtle energy fields. This energy originates from each of the internal organs and radiates through the external tissues. The Wei chi forms an energy field that radiates from the entire physical body. This field of Qi protects the body from the invasion of external pathogens and communicates with, as well as interacts with, the surrounding universal and environmental energy fields.
Both internal and external pathogenic factors affect the structural formation of the Wei chi. internal factors include suppressed emotional influences such as anger and grief. The external factors include environmental influences when they are too severe or chronic such as cold, damp, heat or wind etc., Physical traumas also affect the Wei chi field.
Any negative interchange affects the Wei chi by literally creating holes within the matrix of the individual’s external energetic fields. When left unattended these holes leave the body vulnerable to penetration and allows disease to take root in the body.
Strong emotions, in the form of toxic energy, become trapped within the body’s tissues when we hold back or do not integrate our feelings. These unprocessed emotions block the natural flow of Qi and thereby create stagnant pools of toxic energy within the body.
Medical qigong consists of specific techniques that use the knowledge of the body’s internal and external energy fields to purge, notify, and balance these energies.
Medical qigong therapy offers clients a safe and effective way to rid themselves of toxic pathogens and years of painful emotions that otherwise, can cause mental and physical illness. This therapy combines breathing techniques with movements, creative visualization, and spiritual intent to improve health, personal power and control over one’s life.
