Chi
Kung (Ch'i Kung or Qigong) simply means cultivating energy.
There are many forms of Chi Kung including martial arts, tai
chi, and practices for health benefits. It is the latter that
is integrated into my Chi Kung Healing Touch practice. Thought
to build vitality and ward off illness, the medical aspects
of Chi Kung are used in Chinese medicine to treat and cure
many diseases.

With
Chi Kung Healing Touch, we are tapping into the wisdom of
Chinese Healthcare by balancing the five elements of the body,
including all of the organ systems as well as the eight extra
meridians. We work with specific acupuncture points in the
body to access and balance the flow of chi, or life force,
in the body in all of the systems. We also release any negative
energy in the body which may have been introduced during times
of vulnerability. By working with the energy in the body,
we are supporting the client's or patient's ability to heal

Chi
Kung Healing Touch helps reduce stress which is a promoter
of imbalance and illness in the body. It can help relieve
insomnia as well as help the body be more relaxed before surgery
and recover more quickly afterwards. It can help lower blood
pressure and relieve pain. Some doctors have asked "what
have you done to recover so quickly?" Chi Kung Healing
Touch works well with Western Medicine and other forms of
medical care to promote healing and wellness.

I have worked with people living with chronic illnesses to
lessen the symptoms. People have reduced or eliminated pain
and depression medications with regular CKHT sessions. This
is not medical care; it is an adjunct to visits with a physician
and prescribed medical care.

While
it is beneficial to have a session in a practitioner's office,
this practice of energy healing is also very effective from
a distance. I have clients all over the country who benefit
greatly from "remote" sessions. One who has a brain
tumor feels more relaxed with each session and her headaches
are relieved. Her speech and thoughts are clearer and she
sleeps better. Another who is sensitive to molds was taking
her law boards in a moldy building which made her brain foggy
and she was unable to concentrate. With regular CKHT sessions,
she was able to focus and pass the law boards.

For
Feng Shui Practitioners, this form of work is excellent for
times when they may take on too much yin chi or negative energy
in their work. This shows up as a specific energy in the body
which can be released. It is also beneficial for keeping chi
balanced while we do our work in the world and is an excellent
addition to self-cultivation practices and meditations.

The
first session is scheduled for up to two hours and includes
gathering a case history and reasons for receiving CKHT. The
next sessions may be scheduled for one (1) or one and one
half (1 ½) hours. It is recommended that a minimum
of three sessions be scheduled to complete the deeper levels
of treatment and to uncover the underlying patterns we each
carry. After these sessions, scheduled once a week or every-other
week, as needed, appointments may be scheduled bi-weekly,
monthly, quarterly, or whenever the recipient wishes. I let
each client know what I find and what my recommendations are;
however, it is the client who is the best judge of his or
her health care needs. Whenever possible, I also teach Chi
Kung practices so that clients can continue to support their
health outside of sessions.

Worker as well as completion of the Body- Energy Center's

advanced studies of Chi Kung Healing each year with a total
