Medical Qigong Therapy By Jampa Stewart

Medical Qigong therapy is one of the oldest branches of Chinese Medicine, predating acupuncture by thousands of years. Qi refers to the life force energy that flows through the acupuncture channels, while Gong means skill acquired through practice. Thus, Medical Qigong refers to a wide series of therapeutic exercises, breathing methods, and healing mental imagery that guide and direct the Qi for health and balance.

Benefits:

There are several reasons for choosing Medical Qigong therapy as your treatment method.

First, Medical Qigong therapy is non-invasive as compared to acupuncture; some sessions don’t even require physical contact! For adults and children who don’t like acupuncture, Medical Qigong therapy offers them a choice of Chinese medical treatment.

Second, in most Medical Qigong treatment sessions, the patient is given a customized Qigong exercise prescription for home practice. In many cases, patients can speed their recovery through personalized Qigong “physical therapy” practice; often this is critical to healing. Many diseases and health problems today are caused by lack of exercise. Qigong offers a safe and effective exercise practice that requires no equipment or fitness center membership.

Qigong relaxation techniques give patients a new and powerful way of dealing with their stress, a method that is free from side effects and costs nothing other than the initial cost of training.

Thirdly, some conditions that don’t respond to Western medicine, acupuncture, or herbal therapy can be treated most effectively through Medical Qigong therapy, making it the modality of first choice.

What to Expect:

Medical Qigong can be divided into three categories:

  • physical therapy exercises for building Qi and healing specific disorders.
  • relaxation methods for guiding the Qi within, and for stress management.
  • external Qi healing (Wai Qi Liao Fa) for emitting Qi to heal others.

Today there are hundreds of Medical Qigong hospitals and clinics throughout China, treating such problems as breast and ovarian tumors and cysts, paraplegia and hemiplegia, muscular atrophy, stress and insomnia, immune deficiency disorders, migraine headaches, certain types of cancer and pain.

How much does Medical Qigong Therapy cost?

You can expect to pay $190 for the first treatment and $145 per hour of treatment after. Typically treatment sessions last 1.5 hours for a new patient, and between 45 minutes to 1 hour for follow-up sessions, including intake and patient progress updates, treatment, and training in personalized Qigong exercise prescriptions especially for you, your unique constitution, and your goals for treatment.

The Healing Presence: External Qigong Therapy:

External Qi Healing (Wai Qi Zhi Liao) is a rare and powerful form of energetic healing from China. External Qi Healing does not require prior knowledge of Chinese Medical theory and is easy for Westerners to learn and apply. The techniques you will learn in this seminar can be integrated into any healing practice, particularly increasing the effectiveness of modalities such as acupuncture, massage, and Therapeutic Touch. Derived from the Taoists of ancient China, these techniques are currently being used in modern Chinese hospitals, and are also being researched at Harvard and other universities. 

Participants will learn how to generate a strong field of vital energy (Qi or Ch’i), so that your very presence can have a healing effect. You will also learn to assess the energy field of others, to project-specific types of therapeutic energy, and to use ancient techniques for opening the body to the inexhaustible well of healing power in nature so that the healer avoids the danger of depleting his or her energy.
