Dividing Up to Conquer an Illness in a Remote Qigong Treatment

When I give a remote medical Qigong treatment, I usually schedule the treatment at a time when the client will be asleep. I do this so he/she will be relaxed and be more "energetically open" to the treatment. During one of these remote Qigong treatments on a patient with intense grief, I was using a protocol called the "13 Ghost Points". While doing his treatment I felt impressed that his treatment would be better if I could simultaneously work on all these acupuncture points at the same time. I felt that the "invisible needle process" that is sometimes used in Qigong, would not be as effective than if I had 4 other people who could help with the treatment. I then had the impression I could energetically "divide myself up" and station myself at each of the locations where I needed an extra set of hands -  one at his head, another at his right hand, another at his right foot, another at another at his left foot, and another at his left hand. With this one brief thought, of dividing to conquer this illness, I then instantly split into 5 parts of "me" and quickly positioned myself at each location. We all then worked simultaneously to work on changing his Qi to one that could ease his grief, and then moving his Qi to help him heal.

At the conclusion of his treatment, I then just automatically seemed to all come back together back into one whole. The visual I had was like watching liquid mercury that had been divided, now suddenly all return back to center. 

The feedback I received from my client after his treatment was that he now felt SO MUCH BETTER. He remarked how it seemed something had been released and he was now back to normal.

For me, I came away with an awareness that when you are "energy" you can do things that you can't do when you are "physical". In this remote treatment, I was "energy", and a result was able to divide myself up and become an "extra set of hands" that could be used for his treatment and improve his healing outcome. This healing method was based on an impression I received during his treatment, perhaps a message from his energetic self, so it was individual and effective for his treatment.

Learning How to Work with Chakra Energy

6/13/2018

When I first was introduced to Qigong, a lot of my fellow students noticed how easy it was for me to tune in and sense Qi and the results from my Qigong treatments were rather amazing. Soon I was able to 'see' nonphysical Spiritual Beings during these Qigong treatments, or get specific messages about what the client's body needed. Other times my client's energetic self would give me a message to relay to them about a recommendation or even a glimpse of their future self.

People started to ask me why I could do this. At the time, I didn't know, but over time, I realized I was able to do this because I had been actively engage in cultivating my chakra energies prior to even learning about Qigong. Because of this, it was a natural outcome to be able to connect and use my spiritual energy in Qigong treatments to help me fine-tune my interaction with another person's nonphysical energies.  

The lessons given to me about cultivating chakra energies are now compiled in a book, Cultivating Spiritual Energy, This is a guide to help anyone who is interested in learning how to work with specific chakra energies so they can obtain certain results. 

Each chakra is a different type of spiritual energy, and as such, will give you different results and experiences when you learn to connect, sense, and use that energy. You can develop specific skills, such as communing with spiritual beings, or sensing subtle energies, or directing energy for healing purposes. You essentially use a certain chakra energy you have cultivated so you can use it for a specific purpose or result you need.

Qigong helps a person learn how to work with Qi. Learning how to work with your chakras can help a person develop specific abilities associated with a specific type of energy.

Using Color in a Qigong Medical Treatment

4/19/2018

Medical Qigong (pronounced chee-gung) is a treatment modality that is part of Chinese Medicine. The focus is to work with the subtle energies of the body - such as Qi (chee) to help someone get well or improve their health and wellness. Chinese Medicine believes that  it is in this energy field where disease usually begins, and also where treatment really starts. A person can go to Chinese Medicine school to learn how to work in this energy field and treat diseases, which is what I did. In this process, I became trained and learned how to sense and connect with subtle energy (chee) and then learned how to direct it, move it, change it, or use it to help a patient in the healing journey. Each client has different subtle energy needs, so even though Qigong has certain treatment protocols, there is some flexibility allowed so you can make sure the treatment you are doing matches with what the patient needs.

A Qigong treatment is like being in a meditative frame of mind so you can work in an invisible energy field to medically treat them. Qigong requires mental focus and attention in order to get into this "dimension", to stay in it, and work in it. Once you are "in that zone" you use mental visualization, including colors and sounds to help you use the right energy wave to treat an organ. 

What is amazing to me, is that different organs of the body are more sensitive and aligned with different colors and sounds, so in Chinese Medicine, they have a guide as to what colors you use to help you nourish different organs when you are in that energy field. Here are the colors that each organ system is more aligned with:
  • Heart, brain, circulatory system, small intestine - RED
  • Spleen, stomach, muscles, mouth - YELLOW
  • Liver, gallbladder, tendons, eyes - GREEN
  • Lungs, large intestines, nose, skin, hair - WHITE
  • Kidneys, bladder, bones, sexual organs, ears - BLACK

My First Ah Hah Moment in Using Color 
What really made this concept about using different colors in a treatment happened when I was doing one of my first Qigong treatments. I was working on a client's gallbladder and the protocol says to use the color green. However, a voice in my head said, "the color she needs is more teal" - which is still green, but with a bit of blue.  I then mentally changed my mental focus to the teal color and I could immediately sense my client's gallbladder change and become more alive - almost as if I had just watered a wilted plant. 

This was the Qigong treatment experience that let me know how each patient may need a slightly modified energy wave pattern to specifically meet what their body needs. It also let me know one way to make those modifications (like slightly modifying the color) and I received validation it worked.

A Qigong Experience for Relieving Stress and Anxiety

4/15/2018

 
I was trained in Qigong at Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley, CA. During my Medical Qigong training, each class included methods to help us learn to sense and assess Qi, and then work with it to direct healing. With each class, something remarkable happened that pulled me deeper and deeper into learning more about Qigong. This event was one that made my mouth drop because it defied much of the medical logic I learned in nursing school.

Medical Qigong has protocols and procedures for different ailments and diseases - just like we have in Western Medicine. In this class, we were learning the Qigong methods used to treat emotional and/or psych disorders. There is a step-by-step process of what you do to treat these conditions. In this class we were learning how to treat stress and anxiety.

I was practicing the recommended process on my classmate, Judy. She was laying on the massage table, eyes closed. I was at the head of the table. I pointed my fingers together and mentally focused my thoughts to visualize, or pretend, I was holding a needle between my pointer finger and thumb. I then gently placed my pointed fingers on my my classmates neck to release the stress and anxiety in her.

I then HEARD a hissing sound come out of her neck! It was as if air was being released from an over-inflated tire. I then experienced my left fingers starting to get cold - ice cold! My fingers on my left hand were now becoming numb because it was COLD AIR that was coming out of that pretend needle!

I called my instructor over to ask about this and all she said was, "Good! Keep it up!"  So I did, until the hissing sound stopped.

At the end of the treatment, Judy said she never felt better! She didn't hear the hissing sound - she just felt GREAT as if she was now light as a feather.

I was stunned. I knew there was no physical stress valve that I was holding, and I knew that physically, no air was hissing out of her neck, even though I heard it and felt it. The feedback and change in Judy was remarkable and spoke volumes to me about how effective this had been. There really was something with this Qigong! We were tapping in and accessing a person's Qi and directing it towards healing. This was amazing and had real results.

Helping Someone Cross Over

4/14/2018

 
​We received news that one of our senior family friends, who was living at a nursing home and in hospice care, was getting ready to die. Because she is in another state, I decided to see if I could assist her with a remote Qigong treatment. I knew she would not want to extend her life, but thought I may be able to ease her suffering. I did a meditation and projected myself to Carolyn's bedside. When I arrived, I could "see" Carolyn standing outside her body, and just observing, watching, and waiting for her body to die. I greeted Carolyn and asked if she would like some assistance. She said yes. 

I told her, all she needed to do was find the little core that looked like a little sliver of white "rice" in her chest or heart, and pull it out. She said, "is that all?"  I said yes and told her she could do this anytime she felt she was ready, or could wait and allow it to move out on its own.

She laughed and then pulled, and IMMEDIATELY the light in the room changed and we were IMMEDIATELY both standing in a different dimension. We had not "physically moved" but were now somewhere else. Carolyn's friend, Ruth, who had died the prior month, was standing there, too, and several others I didn't know! It was rather amazing. I had never experienced this type of sudden change before without having to "project" or "do" anything. I was in awe, to be honest. We were definitely no longer in Kansas but were now in a totally new realm and dimension. 

We then flickered back and forth between Kansas and this other "after life realm" just by Carolyn's desire to see what was taking place with her physical body, and then would flicker to the other realm to be back with Ruth and the other Spiritual Beings. 

I told Carolyn she could go back and forth with ease for a few days, but that ease in transition from one place to the other would change as her earthly essence would diminish in a few days. She was rather tickled and excited about this - as she does love learning about new things.

What I learned from this experience was how IMMEDIATE and seamless the transition is from our physical dimension to the "post physical life" dimension. No movement was required. It was rather remarkable.

A Qigong Treatment Experience for Rapid Onset Arthritis

1/14/2017

 
This medical Qigong treatment was unusual. It was for a woman in her 70's who suddenly found herself with rapid onset inflammatory arthritis in her hands and fingers. Her fingers were swollen to the point she was unable to bend her fingers at all, and they were very painful if she moved her fingers at all. She reported how it would now take her a full day to wrap one Christmas gift due to the excruciating pain. For her medical Qigong treatment, we took four Medical Qigong treatments over a period of 2 weeks.
​
First Treatment
In the first Qigong Medical treatment, my primary focus was to reduce the swelling in her fingers with the hope this would also reduce the pain. I could "see" rancid looking energy in her fingers, and then visualized bringing in heat to help flush out the rancid looking stuff out of her hands. The joints then started to look more normal size, so then, I brought in some deep healing gold color energy from the earth to move to her joints and lubricate them. 
 
We then examined her hand and finger joints in more detail and were surprised to see they looked as if they had a very light, white dusty coating on the bone. Weird, I thought. I couldn't explain it, but just knew this was what was causing her pain.  I then visualized flushing her bones in her hands with Qi to get that dusty stuff off. I then brought in some special Qi from deep in the earth to help with this healing process. I could "see" this subtle energy going into the cells in the bones of her hands and helping them heal.
 
After I saw her hand joints look normal, I then focused on building up your organs to fight this "combatant". I also wanted to find the source of this problem and was surprised to find a little tiny be-be-looking pellet deep within your liver and I removed it. One of the Spiritual Being helpers who was with me, the one I call Microbiologist, was able to find another one of those be-be's in her liver that was still being formed. He was able to remove this one, too. We had the impression this little bebe-like pellet looking thing was the source of creating that rancid-looking dust on her fingers, which was then creating the pain and swelling in her hands. I then completed nourishing all her organs with Qi, and then ended the qigong treatment.

Second Treatment
Three days after her first Medical Qigong treatment on her hands, I did another Medical Qigong treatment on her fingers. In this treatment, I visualized beginning her treatment as if she was sitting in a deep warm water pond- a special place of healing. I then visualized directing this healing energy from the pond, into the ball of her foot - into her KI acupoint. I then directed this healing subtle energy to her kidneys, bladder, bones, and ligaments.

Next, I visualized having her get out of the water and into the dry heat – in a place where she could be nourished by the sun energy. I used this time to balance the water and fire elements within her body, and to nourish her heart. I then fortified the rest of her yin organs, and just had her relax and rest. This concluded this Qigong treatment.

After this treatment, the next day she reported she was now not having much real pain. She still had the stiffness, but it was improving.  

Third Treatment
In this third treatment, which was 3 days after the last treatment, I repeated the same process I used in her first medical Qigong treatment, with the flushing of her kidneys and fingers with Qi to clean out that "dust" that was once again back on her finger bones. After this treatment, she reported the pain has reduced to what might now be called “discomfort” and she was now able to do more things with her fingers than she had been before. She said the progress was slow but steady —— in spite of rainy days! 

Fourth Treatment
This treatment was done 4 days after the last treatment, and in this treatment, we really saw a difference. I began the treatment in her liver, and could sense a “glob of gunk” which seemed to be associated with those be-be-like pellets we found in her first treatment. It felt as if it was residual, and the word “toxins from those bebe’s or pellets" is what popped in my mind. I then energetically removed this "gunk" from her liver, and then directed a lot of robust healing Qi into her liver. I then did a microcosmic orbit to move all that extra QI and get it distributed to ALL of her body.

Seven days later after this final treatment, she sent me this message about her fingers, "They are better!  Not really sore but stiff. Thank you for all the therapy.  You made the pain disappear!"

The Initiation

12/1/2016

 
Picture
When I was in my 50's, I had my very first acupuncture treatment. I had exhausted Western Medicine's ability to help me so went in for acupuncture, and it turned out to be one of those life changing moments. I was getting ready for my acupuncture treatment, in a hospital gown, laying face up on the treatment table, waiting for the practitioner and could feel LOTS of Spiritual Beings in the room with me. It actually felt like I was in the middle of an operating room theater and there were rows and rows of souls looking down on me as if they were waiting for a show. 

It freaked me out. I had never felt this way before and shared what I was feeling. (As I look back, it was probably more like I was complaining and thinking it was her fault). She left the room, came back, and said, "is that better"?  It was. Now there were only 3 Spiritual Beings in the room and the operating theater was gone.

This experienced encouraged me to learn more about Chinese Medicine and then I ended up learning about Qigong, and even learning to give Qigong medical treatments. My first acupuncture treatment ended up being a major turning point in my life, and it was as if the crowd of observers had recognized this as one of those moments, before I had.

Recently I was preparing to give one of my clients a Qigong treatment, and I felt like we were surrounded by hundreds of Beings in an operating room theater! But THIS time, I knew to NOT be afraid - it was because THIS was one of those monumental moments when a life is about to change. The crowd was here to witness and participate in someones life-changing moments. 

I told my client, who does Reiki treatments, that I could feel (and see) hundreds of Beings in the room with us - all who want to observe her treatment. She was OK with having them stay (she is much wiser than I). But THEN I felt the presence of a SPECIAL person in the room with us - another Spiritual Being - whose name is Makua. This Being was her Reiki Master, a former Shaman from Hawaii, who is now deceased. He was here to participate in her Qigong treatment.

I began her Qigong treatment, but it was NOT like any other treatment I had ever given. Because Makua was participating in the treatment, and guiding me on some of the activities, it included what I assume to be some Reiki. But then I realized this was an initiation! I could see and feel a circle of souls around the treatment table and they were chanting and blowing breaths of energy toward my client (who was laying face up, with her eyes closed, on the treatment table). In the distance, I could also hear drumming. It was as if she was being inititated into a new level for her Reiki practice.

At the end of the initiation, my client was temporariliy "out of her body" so I waited for her soul to return. Then, she took a big breath and opened her eyes. She was back. 

This experience was a rather amazing event. It helped me realize that an initiation can even happen and be directed from the other side. Who knew?!

Getting your Qi moving helps improve skills

10/3/2016

 
When I do a medical Qigong treatment on someone, I complete a preparation process. Before the clients even comes to my studio, I will do get in a meditative state so I prepare myself to receive the subtle messages their body and spirit will be giving me. Then, before I begin a treatment, I put myself in a column of light to protect myself from absorbing their energy, and to protect my client from absorbing any of my stuff. I then ground my client, to connect their soul to the earth, and then begin a "flat hand" assessment, which helps identify any obvious concerns their subtle energy body wants to report.

After all that, I begin the Qigong medical treatment. 

But what I have noticed over the years of doing hundreds of Qigong medical treatments, is that often I don't receive the fine-tuned subtle messages until AFTER I've started their Qigong treatment. It seems this subtle communication improves once I have started to move and/or nourish the client's Qi. It often is only then, after their Qi is moving more, will their physical body release its health secrets to me. It is often after Qi is moving that I can see, hear, smell, the health messages their body wants to report to me.

Recently I attended a writing workshop and I was surprised to learn a person can improve their writing skills by engaging in a daily 10 minute writing exercise and write about almost anything. They recommend using "writing prompts" and just write about what the prompt suggests for 10 minutes, and then stop. After that, your writing juices are flowing and you are now ready to go work on on your own writing. 

I found this advice rather amazing! This is the same thing that I do with a medical qigong treatment - I use the first few minutes to get their Qi flowing, and after that, their subtle messages in their body are better able to open and up and share what I need to focus on and what needs to be healed.

I was impressed these divergent categories of interest, medical qigong and writing, had a similar process - getting Qi flow which allows the real juicy and magical stuff to begin. This awareness reminded me of how everything is connected - even the "how-to's" of developing or improving one's work skills. 

Qigong Medical Treatments Based on What is Needed

6/7/2016

 
During one of my Qigong medical treatments, I was going through my normal grounding process but for some reason, during this grounding process, the sensation and visual dramatically changed. No matter how hard I tried to change my thoughts to follow my usual grounding process, my thoughts would not comply. All I could see was this big trunk size of energy flowing up from the ground and in to me. It felt very fluid and energetic.

I eventually gave up trying to force the process and just accepted this abundance of energy flowing up through the earth and into me. I then started giving the Qigong medical treatment.

My client was laying on her back on the massage table with her eyes closed and I started to ground her and connect her with the earth. I could feel this big wave of energy going from me and now through her. I looked to see if she was uncomfortable or grimacing from all this energy pouring into her, but she was relaxed and smiling, so I continued.  I then heard the words, "this energy is for your patient," so I relaxed and allowed the energy to be transferred.

I began giving the the Qigong medical treatment I had planned, but once again heard the words, "No, she needs something different. We will guide you." I then moved to the end of the massage table and placed each pinky finger on the balls of her feet and could still feel that earth grounding energy POUR into her.

I stood there for a long time, feeling that energy just pour into her from the base of her feet. I then moved my hands to the tops of her big toes and again felt the energy change, almost as if it was now a new frequency, and it poured into her.
I then moved my hands to the pointer finger on top of her feet and my thumb on the bottom of her feet and could feel the energy frequency change again, but still pouring into her.

I then changed hand positions and held the heels of her feet and pulled her legs toward me, and then pushed them away, almost as if it were a wave of motion.  My thought was, "this is representative of water, and the others were of air, water, and the earth."

As I stood and did some kind of wave motion, I had the impression this woman had the gift of astral travel and I could see this grounding energy would allow her the grounding component she needed with this gift.

At the end of the treatment, I informed my patient we were done and she opened her eyes.  She reported this was the most incredible experience she had ever had and she could feel energy pouring into her.  She also felt "changed" as if she had become different during the treatment.

I had started the Qigong treatment with one treatment plan in mind, but the purpose and outcome clearly changed based on what was happening in the treatment. Being able to step aside and allow input and direction from outside forces will help give the patient what they NEED rather than what you want (or expect) them to get. A Qigong Health Practitioner not only needs to know how to direct and use energy, they need to know how to interpret the subtle messages being shared during the treatment.

An Unusual Remote Experience to Treat Headache Pain

4/7/2016

 
This was a rather unusual Qigong treatment. This was a remote treatment where I projected myself to this person's bedside to do a Qigong healing treatment to try and ease his headache pain. We scheduled the treatment to be early in the morning when he would be asleep. I did my usual preparations then began my meditation and projected my energetic self to be at his bedside to conduct this remote Qigong treatment. I started the treatment like I usually do - grounding the patient. To do this, I direct a beam of energy through the top of my patient's head, then guide it down the middle of their body to the base of the spine, then direct that beam of energy to the earth. But as soon as I tried to guide the beam of energy through his head, it could not penetrate his head!  This had never happened to me before. So I changed and went to his feet and pulled up energy from the earth and directed it through the bottom of his feet and into his legs and torso.  He was now grounded.

I then went back to his head to do an assessment on his head. I could feel and see great chaotic energy firing in his head. It reminded me of pictures I have seen of the sun bursting with molten energy. I could "feel" his excruciating pain, but I couldn't penetrate and try and calm this energy. 

I had some nonphysical Beings with me to assist with this treatment and together we used waves of calming cool sound, moving from the top of his head, and directing it down his body, and then down into the earth via the grounding cord I initially placed in his body. We repeating these soothing waves of sound energy through his body, over and over and over again until his brain calmed down. I could then sense he was now completely relaxed and now in a deep sleep.

I then went back to his head to try and conduct the assessment in his head as to what was causing his headaches. I expected to now be able to get "inside" his head, but I STILL could not. It was as if there was a shield around his brain. I then decided to change my usual assessment tactic of using the "flat palm assessment" over his head, and then visualized taking slices of photos through his brain, similar to an MRI scan. I was able to do this, and then with each sliced image, we assessed the energetic image I was bringing back from this process.

We finally were able to locate a small spot of yellow deep within his brain, and then we treated this. We eventually saw this aberration disappear. We then nourished the rest of his organs and body with Qi energy, wrapping up and protecting his body with Qi, concluding the treatment.

I later reported the treatment results to him, sharing how difficult it was to get into his energetic body through his head (even though he had given me permission to do so). I had assumed the barrier was due to his intense headache pain, but he said he had forgotten how he places a dot of protection on his third eye (forehead) everyday to protect himself from outside forces getting into his brain, and still had that dot on his forehead when I did the treatment. This could have been what was preventing me from getting into his energetic layer inside his head.

We did another remote treatment a few days later without the "dot of protection on his forehead" and I had no problem getting into his energetic head. However, he also did not have the headache pain at that time, either. But now we know, to be on the safe side, he has to be "dot free" during his treatment window.
