Medical Qigong Treatments
Qigong (pronounced chi-gung) is a branch of Chinese Medicine. There are 3 branches of Qigong - medical qigong, spiritual qigong, and martial arts qigong. The word Qigong means "the study and cultivation of qi" so the focus of Qigong is to work with the subtle energy of qi (or life force energy) and direct it for purposes of healing, or spiritual growth, or to defend yourself against an opponent. These 3 branches all are focused on using Qi, but the desired outcome of what they are achieving is different based on if it is medical, spiritual, or martial arts.
The goal of Medical Qigong is to influence the energetic flow of Qi to improve a person's health and wellness. It is used to rid the body of illness, to tonify the internal organ systems, and to balance the flow of subtle energies and flow within. It is medicine based on spiritual, non-tangible, energy and making changes in the body through in that layer of your body's energy.
Qigong Medical treatments are done by a certified medical practitioner or therapist who has been trained and certified by a Qigong Master. The education is typically at a Chinese School of Medicine (Masters or Doctorate), along with an internship, and hundreds of hours of providing Qigong medical treatments on real people. All this is done before a person can be certified to provide Qigong medical treatments.
A medical Qigong therapist is able to assess and treat medical ailments through tonifying, purging, and circulating Qi. The treatments adjust internal and external energy fields to enhance one's health, remove blockages and enhance flow and balance, as well as methods to promote healing. Some treatments include changes inside the cells energy field to create long-term and true healing.
The Medical Qigong treatment begins with the medical history and an energetic assessment to identify the problem areas, and determine an approach and plan for the treatment. The Qigong medical treatment is then initiated, and usually takes about 30-45 minutes. At the conclusion of the treatment, we discuss the treatment and changes that happened in your body. Next we discuss next steps and ways to help you improve and maintain your health and wellness.
Clients are clothed during their Qigong medical treatment and will lay down on a massage table, usually face up. There is very little touching involved. Essentially you will relax and close your eyes, and may even fall asleep during the treatment. Usually the treatment is done in silence so both of us can be receptive to receiving energetic communication and messages. In many ways, it is like an active moving meditation.
At the end of the treatment, most people feel relaxed, refreshed, and more balanced than they have felt in a long, long time. Those in pain will have reduced pain, or may even be pain free at the end of the session. Some will need only one treatment, and be given some guidelines and tips to help them maintain their health. Others may need more frequent treatments, and then others will want to have a treatment quarterly, just to make sure their body is being well maintained.
