What is it?
It is a wholistic Qigong mind and body practice based on principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to regulate Vital Energy (Qi) and to restore it to overall balance, harmony, and connectivity between the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual states. Its purpose is to open energy channels (meridians) and to clear emotional and physical blockages, loosen stagnant Qi, and release toxic energy build-up. It also lowers stress and thereby cortisol levels, shifting the autonomic nervous system towards a state of relaxation, equilibrium, and well-being.
What is it good for?
1. Emotional states of turmoil, trauma, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and stress, affecting the psyche.
2. Physical states of pain, energy stagnation, and tension affecting physiology.
3. Mental states of difficulty focusing, concentrating, worrying, insomnia, inability to relax, and lack of clarity affecting actions/behavior.
4. Spiritual states of void, lack of purpose, grief, sadness, loneliness, disconnectedness, affecting social and interpersonal interactions.
What is well-being?
Wellness is a consequence of a continuous process of emotional, physical, mental and spiritual balance, harmony, and connectivity, functioning as one united whole entity, mainly promoting clarity, self-regulation (self control), stability, security, self-trust, compassion, and acceptance.
What is non-well-being?
Ailing is a consequence of a continuous imbalance, disharmony, and disconnect between stressed and tensed emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual states, affecting psyche, physiology, behavior, and social and interpersonal interaction.
How does it work?
Qigong Psycho-Energetic Meridian Therapy consists of three intertwining components:
1. Qigong can be translated as Vital life force energy cultivation necessary for life itself and overall well being. Meridans are energy pathways in TCM through which energy (Qi) flows within the body, connecting organ systems and nourishing tissues. The practitioner uses light, gentle, fluid hand motion along the meridians to restore, direct, and regulate the energy flow in order to release any blockages, loosen stagnation, and to lead replenished Qi into the body’s energy centers and organs. At times pressure may be used along the meridians’ acupoints.
2. Qigong Psycho-Energetics is best described as guided healing contemplative self-inquiry, promoting understanding and awareness of the whats and the whys of how one feels with the main focus on what to do about it. This allows one to begin the process of resetting intention, regenerating perception, and refocusing reactions and habits, bringing about the positive transformation resulting in feeling well, stable, and secure.
3. Qigong guided Tao Meditation and Tibetan Sound Healing facilitates deep relaxation states, states of clarity, and expanded awareness.
Tailored application of these essentially related modalities restores and enhances overall emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual balance and connectivity.
