Medical Qigong's goal is to correct bio-energetic imbalances and obstructions created from the stress of daily living, poor diet, physical injuries, sedentary lifestyle, suppressed emotions & grief, aging and childhood trauma. Medical Qigong (MQ) treatment works in tandem with allopathic and other medicine. It allows the body to strengthen, harmonize and regulate it's internal physical systems, including (but not limited to) the viscera, the nervous, endocrine, digestive & immune systems. By returning the physical body to greater harmony, MQ treatment also facilitates the release of buried emotions, deeply-held internal stress, childhood & ancestral trauma and mental blocks. Besides feeling lighter, the benefit of releasing trapped energy and trauma from the body is that obstructions are not allowed to culminate into more serious dense formations, such as polyps or tumors. Other benefits include: greater mental clarity, physical balance, emotional balance, rooted and centeredness, improved rest, pain relief and a greater sense of discernment. 

 

In an MQ treatment, a practitioner seeks to purge toxins, tonify internal organs and regulate the client's qi. If in person, the client lays down fully clothed on a massage table. If receiving a remote treatment, the client would lay down fully clothed in a comfortable place in their home. If in person, the practitioner often works about a foot away from the client's body facilitating the release of toxic bio-energy and guiding the smooth movement of Qi. Either remote or in person, the client may feel varying sensations as the Qi moves, such as tingling, coolness, vibration, warmth and sometimes twitching as obstructions are dissolved and life-affirming patterns are restored.

In either case, the client will be given qigong exercises/meditations/and or tones to assist in their ongoing healing. Tailored specifically for each client, Medical Qigong exercises, meditations and tones use physical movement, breathing methods and mental intention to return the body to harmony and bring the client closer to her/his/their True Nature. These effective prescriptions are similar to herbs prescribed by an acupuncturist or pharmaceutical medicine prescribed by an allopathic doctor.

Qigong Sessions

As stated above, the client remains fully clothed because Qi moves like wind or electricity, it is the electromagnetic energy that pervades all living beings. Usually, sessions are relaxing and rejuvenating. Sometimes uncomfortable, suppressed emotions or memories may surface to be released either during or after the treatment. Since one of the primary goals of Medical Qigong therapy is to release toxic emotions from the body, having an emotional release is wonderful progress on the journey to greater physical, mental and emotions health and well-being.

Please note that like any other system of fitness or health care, Qigong is not a panacea but a highly effective health care practice. Many health care professionals recommend Qigong as an vital form of complementary and alternative medicine.
