Keeping Your Focus in Medical Qigong Treatment

Medical Qigong Training at AIMC in Berkeley
During Medical Qigong training, students will practice Qigong healing techniques on their fellow students.Students will not only practice giving treatments, but will also experience receiving a treatment. This process helps students develop their Qigong skills to become a Qigong Medical Therapist and also gives them opportunities to experience being a patient, too.
One of the more valuable lessons I learned in this training process was the importance of focused intent and maintaining those mental thoughts during the whole treatment. Since Qi follows thoughts and intentions, if the practitioner doesn't stay mentally focused throughout the treatment,Qi movement can go skiwampus and not go where you want it to go.   

For example, a student started giving me a Qigong treatment and things were going OK at first, but then then I started to feel kind of yucky and rather displaced. I could tell the student's focus had changed and she was not mentally focused on the treatment. I guessed she was probably thinking about when the next break was, or what she was going to do after class. Since my Qi movement had become connected to her thoughts, my Qi was now starting to be directed by her now displaced thoughts. My Qi seemed to be leaving my body, or in some cases, going in a circle. At the end of this Qigong treatment, I felt totally yucky. 

So, if you, for whatever reason, receive a Qigong medical treatment that leaves you feeling 'displaced' and 'out-of-sorts', you can get back to 'zero' by taking a warm bath with Epson salts and soak for about 10 minutes. This will help diffuse and soften those out-of-sort sensations. Then, do some Qigong exercises &/or Qigong meditations and get your Qi tank refilled.  
Learning to become a Qigong Medical Therapist takes practice, practice, and practice. One of the most important first skills to develop is the ability to stay focused throughout an entire treatment.
