Quantum Medicine is a form of energy work and mirrors Chinese Medicine simply using the language of Quantum Physics. Both are the energy medicines of pure potentiality, consciousness, thought, mind, awareness, attention, focus and intention.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qi Gong is a form of energy work just as acupuncture is a form of energy work. Acupuncture has become valued by practitioners of Western Medicine, the concept of Qi/Chi (energy) and its circulation in the human body has steadily gained recognition and acceptance from both physicians and the public. Quantum Medicine uses energy as does Chinese Medicine in distant healing.

From the scientific perspective, Qi is defined as “bioelectricity” circulating in the human body, and Qi Gong helps to circulate, manipulate and free impaired or stagnant energy. Qi Gong has been proven to address a wide range of health problems such as arthritis, poor circulation, high blood pressure and cancer in conjunction with western medical protocols.

DISTANT HEALING and QI GONG

Distant Healing is a form of Qi Gong, which is a Chinese word that translates into Qi or energy work. Qi is the fundamental life force that permeates all things. Qi connects and animates everything in the universe. When the flow of Qi is in balance and harmony we have perfect health. When the flow of Qi is impaired we have dis-ease; Qi Gong is an ancient energy medicine and alternative energy healing system that has been used for centuries to help with many health conditions. Qi Gong is the art and science of Qi. Using Qi or energy in distant healing, in breathing, in body movements, mind and meditation to cleanse, balance, strengthen and circulate Qi – the vital life energy and Blood.

Distance Healing is also known as remote healing, long distance healing and absent healing and have been practiced in the Far East for centuries. Today it is practiced worldwide under different names and there are numerous scientific articles in China that show the effectiveness of Qi Gong and Distant Healing. In more modern times many modalities of distant healing are being researched, recognized and practices are being clinically studied in places such as in California at Pacific Medical Center and the Institute of Noetic Sciences.

Many people in the East and West practice Qigong and various forms of Distant Healing because of the potential in physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefits they receive from practicing. Reports of reduced stress and pain, increase stamina, productivity, creativity as well calm and balance the emotions. Chinese practitioners believe that practicing Qi Gong will benefit anyone in maintaining balance and harmony, boosting the immune system, preventing disease and promoting well-being and longevity.

Distant Healing sessions work to correct energetic imbalances in one's vital life force or bio-field. It is used in other forms of energy work as in Reiki and Chakra Therapy. The Chakras are cleared and energized to help the vital life force system and promote Chakra balancing. The acupuncture meridians, Chakras and other subtle channels are infused with Qi, light and energy to energize and transform the whole energy system. Sessions can affect all areas of one's being, mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. The techniques are also use in Prayer Therapy and Distant Healing can be applied to animals as well.

A quote:

“One night he was pressed for time and did something that was new to me. He asked a group of about twenty patients to sit down and concentrate on their illness. Then he began to meditate, projecting his Qi on the group for about fifteen minutes. Suddenly some of the people began to laugh while others began to cry. They spoke of sensations that were like electrical charges inside their bodies. Others said they could feel things move inside of them. Almost everyone came away filled with vitality, as though each person had been recharged with life.

I was in we of what I saw. It was as though he were pulling energy from the universe and transmitting it to those who needed it. One night after he left I told my mother that I was stunned by what I saw this man do.” (The Healing Art of Qi Gong; Master Hong Liu with Paul Perry)

CHAKRA THERAPY

The people called Aryans, who entered India on chariots, wrote the Vedas, which is the oldest written tradition in India. The word Chakra means, “wheel” and the term refer to the wheels of the Aryans’ chariots – these were their first healers and writers. The story goes on that the God Vishnu descended down to earth, and those who first saw the god noticed that he had four arms, and was holding within them a chakra or wheel, a flower (a lotus flower to be precise), a conch shell, and a club.

The yoga Upanishads uses the chakras as what they refer to as “psychic centers of consciousness” and so the charkas became a central part of yoga philosophy in the 7th century, and continue to today.

The Role of Chakras
The yoga Upanishads uses the chakras as psychic centers of consciousness and had become a central part of yoga philosophy by the 7th century.

“The Serpent Power” (Avalon, 1919), was the first book to translate chakras for Western use, or the 10th century text “Gorakshashatakam” which is the original instruction book for working with both crystals and chakras together as healing tools.

Chakra Therapy use crystals to ground, balance, center, protect, run and transform ones energy. The Chakra System also uses Aromatheraphy, Color Theraphy, Nature Therapy, Sound Therapy, Yoga Therapy and Reflexology as well. It is easy to learn and one can increase energy levels by using basic Chakra meditation and crystal placement.

The Getting to Know Yourself
The main purpose in working with charkas is to integrate mind, body and spirit to create wholeness within ones self. The goal of understanding chakras is to become centered, balanced and in alignment with self and other beings. It is a means to guide one in the realization of unlimited potential and abundance. This system also relates to Taoist and Quantum Physics. Everything is made of (Qi) energy and is sustained by (Qi) energy. We are our atoms; we are our organs and our chemical physiology all with their unique systems. We do not end at our skin and our body is an energy system constantly changing that is affected by and affects the energy around us – the Quantum field. The magnetic energy that surrounds our body is called an “aura”. This aura is created by the energy of the charkas. Charkas are energy centers that open and close like the lens of a camera, receiving and sending information and life force energy. There are nine chakras: The Foot Chakras root to earth for grounding oneself, the Hand Chakras are the seat of creative energy and used for communicating and healing. The main Chakras are connected to the “energy channel” and correspond with particular body organs, psychological patterns and emotional responses. Gemstones and crystals are use on the energy centers for their transformational qualities. For example for, Agate stone has many transformational qualities and works well on 1st Chakra, because of its grounding energy, Black Tourmaline drives away fear and negativity, Red Coral brings stability and balance to the emotions, Red Jasper is a powerful healer for the physical body; strengthens blood and enhances vitality, while Garnet strengthens, purifies, dispels negativity and reduces feelings of insecurity. They all work well for 1st Chakra Therpy.


The Seven Main Energy Centers
There are seven basic chakras, starting with level one the Root Chakra in the groin area and working up to the seventh at the crown of your head. The following is a simple reference to the colors, placement of crystal, and what healing and increased energy you can expect from each point. The following represent the 1st through 7th Chakra:

1) The Root Chakra. Sometimes called the “survival” Chakra. Physical identity, earth, grounding, and self-preservation are governed by first Chakra, located at the base of the spine. This Chakra is our body’s foundation and is related to the sense of survival, grounding into the earth, money and abundance. Thoughts and beliefs are filtered, influenced and even obscured by our past, environment, traditions, race, education, religion etc. Beliefs regarding “survival” are associated with parents, “family scars, tribal mind, and concerned with love and loyalty. “Love, being confused with obligation to the tribe: “If you really loved me, you’d come visit your family and me more often.” Cording is an energy attachment and in 1st Chakra relates to emotional issues such as, “Help me survive.” “Emotional issues include: lack of commitment, operating out of fear, need for safety and security, and unfinished issues with parents. Health Issues: Sciatica, varicose veins, chronic low back pain, rectal tumors or cancer.” (Diemer, 13) Childhood programming can be re-evaluated, released and replaced with your own set of beliefs that reflect who you are today and serve you now. Working with 1st Chakra results in forgiveness, health, and a sense of grounding and security. The Color Therapy is red and Garnet stone is an excellent choice for this Chakra. Garnet strengthens and energizes the body and increases circulation. Place it on the tail bone when working with 1st Chakra.

2) Spleen Chakra. Located in the lower abdomen to navel area near the lower back, is concerned with day-to-day physical aspects of living and relating to others. Did you learn healthy relationship skills or dysfunctional ways of relating? It contains stored memories of how you related with others. We learn and experience relationships from parents, family and environment. The emotional identity represents sex, passion, creativity, and self-gratification. Emotional upsets, feeling, sensation, and issues such as self-confidence, self-respect, self-control, trust and authority issues can be addressed through 2nd Chakra. Needy vibrations can be drained and victim perceptions can be removed. “Health Issues: Sexual dysfunction, reproductive disorders, hemorrhoids, prostate and bladder problems” (Diemer, 14) manifest from blocked energy in 2nd Chakra. The Color Therapy is clear orange used to stimulate and renew energy. Working with this Chakra results in a greater depth of feelings, relationships, balance and the ability to accept change. Use gold stones, a Gold Topaz, a Carnelian, Hematite or tiger’s eye when working with 2nd Chakra.

3) Solar Plexus Chakra. This Chakra the Center and Bridge between the Spleen and Heart Chakras, is the “distribution point for psychic energy and located above the navel area and below the chest. The yellow Chakra is a powerful Chakra that rules will, personal power, self-control, self-esteem and metabolism. It represents fire, ego identity, and how we perceive others. Blocked 3rd Chakra energy creates challenges integrating the heart emotion and sexual emotion, feeling cold and distant or being out of control. Emotional issues include fear of assuming responsibility, making decisions or intimidation. Health problems include digestive problems, indigestion, bulimia and ulcers.” (Diemer, 15) Yellow Color Therpahy warms, invigorates and relaxes. When a golden hue is added, it becomes a potent healing vibration. Use Amber or Citrine stones for a positive influence on the digestive system when working with this Chakra to clean out your energy field, regain control of yourself and your life, to respond rather than react to others, and to help ground you to respect the character and differences of others.

4) Heart Chakra. The center of the entire Chakra system it resides in the center of the chest near the heart. It is the Chakra of love, affinity, compassion and oneness with universal divine unconditional love. It connects the lower three physical Chakras, emotional centers to the higher mental and spiritual Chakra centers. It is the middle of the seven and represents love, self-acceptance, social identity, and air. Mind and body, male and female are represented here, and a healthy heart Chakra opens the doors of kindness and equality, compassion, peace, and centeredness. Emotional issues are grief, criticism, bitterness, and inability to give love or inability to receive love. Health issues manifest as Heart problems, emotional instability, breast cancer and lung cancer. Color Therpahy is Green to promote regenerataion and serenity. Use Emerald to strengthen the immune system, heart, liver, kidney and nervous systems. Use green Aventurine to release anxiety or Malachite stone for to balance all three levels; mental emotiona and physical and for weight loss. Open the 4th Chakra and fill yourself up with your own acceptance, unconditional love and validation. See the results in renewed joy, freedom, and serenity, as well as new creative energy flowing with clarity from your higher self.

5) Throat Chakra. Blue 5th Chakra is located in the throat at the base of the larynx, and the Chakra of communication, inspiration and self-expression. It is the energy center through which you receive your inner guidance to follow your path and fulfil your dreams. It is the bridge between the heart and the mind and holds the wisdom of the heart. It is an important chakra to speak your truth and to experience the world through the use of vibration. Emotional issues with self expression, following one’s dreams and powert to create your own reality in the physical world are associated with the 5th Chakra. Health issues may be “stuttering, chronic sore throat or TMJ (temporomandibular joint problems).” (Diemer, 16) The Color Therapy is blue opening you up to spiritual insights and truths. Working with this Chakra results in creative expression and clarity to communicate with your higher self, Higher Power and hear its guidance. Use Blue Topaz to enhance mental clarity and emotional healing or the Sodalite, which balances Yin and Yang (or female and male polarities within) when working with 5th Chakra.

6) Third Eye Chakra. The brow Chakra is located in the center of the forehead between the eyebrows. It is violet or indigo blue and often referred to as the “third eye” Chakra. It is clairvoyant energy center of intuition, insight and vision. It is about archetypal identity (achieving work/life balance), light, and self-reflection; and is related to being able to awaken your imagination, to visualize and see a different perspective or see a deeper meaning for the higher good. Emotional issues may be fear of being vunerable, pensiveness, anxiety or inability to learn from life experiences, that is being involved in the same dysfunctional relationships, the same boring job or repeated health problems due to lifestyle decisions and poor choices. Health issues may arise as “eye problems, blindness, deafness, brain tumors, or mental confusion.” (Diemer, 16) The Violet Color Therapy opens the Chakra up for extrasensory perceptions. Working with 6th Chakra opens the third eye and allows one to see the truth, to embrace a holist view, see the big picture, tune up the intuitive and to see beyond the physical or intellect. Indigo blue opens and purifies the Chakra, while violet opens abilities for extrasensory perception. An Amethyst cleanse and renews all levels on consciousness, while the Lapis Lazuli stone “enhances psychic abilities and communication with your Higher Self” (Diemer,136). Have some fun and try them for this Chakra.

7) Crown Chakra. The purple Chakra of the crown, is located on the top of the head called the “soft spot” in babies or Du20 in Chinese Medicine. It governs innate knowing, thought, universal identity, consciousness and pure intuition. This Chakra is the source of divine inspiration and divine creativity. It is the visionary center and must be open for all Chakras to integrate. It promotes healing, innate knowledge, wisdom, and a deeper understanding ourselves, of others and of our place in the universe. Emotional issues may be inability to trust life or its abundance, lack of inspiration or issues with giving generously. Health issues may be loss of “free will, paralysis, muscular system and nervous system diseases (multiple sclerosis and Lou Gehrig’s disease)” (Diemer, 18) When meditating, sit with a the stone of your choice on this spot, and during the rest of the day, wear it under your a cap. Quartz crystal or Diamond intensifies and activates the healing vibrations and power of 7th Chakra.

BIOFEEDBACK

Biofeedback is a process for monitoring a body function such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and altering that function through relaxation or imagery.

Biofeedback is essentially a training system or means to reinforce positive new habits, especially new ways of responding to Stress.

Biofeedback is a treatment technique in which people are trained to improve their health by using signals from their bodies. Physical therapists for example, use Biofeedback to help stroke victims regain movement in paralyzed muscles. Psychologists use it to help tense and anxious clients learn to relax. Specialists in many fields use biofeedback to help their patients or clients cope with pain.

Through the verification of positive changes in Stress markers, clients learn to respond in a different manner to their Stressors. Focusing on positive and constructive thought one can reduce the probability of anxiety and stress related diseases.

Classic Biofeedback is essentially a one-way ‘read only’ system ‘feeding back’ to the client information on a variety of Stress indicators, including blood pressure, galvanic skin responses or brainwave activity. Standard Biofeedback is a time-tested and proven system to assist clients in Stress reduction.

Biofeedback monitors a physiological process, such as:

• electrical activity in muscle cells
• blood flow to hands or feet
• heart rate
• blood pressure
• breathing rate
• electrical activity in the brain

Changes in any of these physiological processes can be translated by the biofeedback instrument into signals, such as:

• lights that blink
• tones that change in pitch
• video displays such as graphs or pictures

The biofeedback therapist is specially trained to help you understand the meaning of this "feedback." The biofeedback therapist will also teach you muscle relaxation exercises, deep breathing, and visualization techniques that can be helpful in learning to change your physiological reactions. Together, you can find the relaxation methods that work for you.

Practice is important in learning new skills. As one improves relaxation skills through daily practice may experience physiological changes such as lower blood pressure, tension relief, better sleep or stress relief.

Conditions for which biofeedback may be helpful include:

• migraine headaches
• tension headaches
• anxiety
• essential hypertension
• injury-related muscle strain
• irritable bowel
• TMJ pain
• asthma
• chronic pain
• insomnia

Biofeedback does not "cure" a disease. Instead, persons using biofeedback learn to reduce symptoms and learn to recognize and minimize recurring patterns of stress by learning to remain calm and relaxed.

Scientists are just determining how it all works through a different medical approach - Quantum medicine. It is well documented that biofeedback does, in fact, teach patients how to control seemingly involuntary conditions of the nervous and circulatory systems.

In the 1960’s laboratory experiments were conducted to examine research subject’s brain wave activity, blood pressure, and other functions of the body, which are under normal situations, are not controlled voluntarily. The outcomes of these experiments was hoped to increase creativity at will-by a person being able to change their own brain patterns-or even more importantly, the ability to decrease ones own blood pressure, making prescription blood pressure medication unnecessary. Although this hope was found to be unrealistic, due to too many variables, it was recorded that biofeedback can help with other conditions such as chronic pain and stress reduction. Hence, the term biofeedback was born.

Quantum Biofeedback represents the major step in the evolution of standard or ‘classic’ Biofeedback. Quantum Biofeedback, on the other hand, recognizes that many of our Stressors lie below our conscious awareness, and can be lodged not only in the unconscious mind, but also in the various energetic systems in the body. We are energy at our source level. So we see that with Quantum Biofeedback, we are looking at an expanded relation of the body that includes information, consciousness and mind; not just as a physical system, but also being comprised of a number of energetic systems that must be taken into account for a truly comprehensive picture of how Stress is affecting us. As well as ‘feeding back’ to the client valuable data based on the subtle energetic reactions of the body to a variety of potential Stressors the practitioner in Quantum Biofeedback also has the option to instantaneously balance aberrant or dysfunctional Stress patterns, thus giving the client an ‘energetic boost’ in the direction of true Relaxation and Stress Reduction. Homeostasis, or the body’s natural balance, is the outcome of effective Stress Reduction.

Acupuncture is all about Qi/Chi or energy manipulation and the theory of the Channels/meridians and Collaterals. The acupuncture procedure is to insert and manipulate Qi/Chi or energy with needles in various points on the body called meridians or channels.

Channels and collaterals is a translation of the Chinese term jingluo, Jing has a geographical connotation and means a channel, like a water channel or longitude. Using the image of a tree, the collaterals are like the trunk and the channel network would be the branches. Meridians or channels generally run longitudinally through the body at a relatively deep level, and connect with the internal Zang Fu (Zong Foo). Specifically they comprise the twelve primary channels, the eight extraordinary vessels and the twelve divergent channels. Luo means ‘to attach’ or ‘a net’, and refers to the finer branches of the channel network which are more superficial and interconnect the trunk and main branches jing, the connective tissues and cutaneous region. The study of the channels in Traditional Chinese Medicine can be said to be the equivalent of the study of anatomy in Western medicine.

Chinese medicine pays little attention to the physical structure of the interior of the body or references to the shape and location of the internal organs called Zang Fu in classical texts are few and very brief. Furthermore, there was no study of the distribution of the nerves, or the origin and insertion of the muscles. Traditional Chinese medicine does, however describe in minute detail the pathways of the wide variety of channels that serve to circulate the Qi/Chi (Chee) or energy and Blood to every part of the body. The channels penetrate the Zang Fu and the Extraordinary Fu in the deepest levels of the body and connect with the skin, muscles, flesh, tendons, and bones, the head, body and limbs, and the sense organs, linking all the tissues and structures of the body into an integrated whole. Some say the ancients could see or experience the meridians as one can see or experience an aura.

In Acupuncture the insertion of very fine needles just under the skin into specific point locations along the Meridians or energy pathways are used to manipulate Qi, to regulate Qi, to unblock Qi stagnation, to relieve pain and to restore balance and harmony to the body.

Stimulating an acupuncture point by any means, whether by needling, application of heat (moxibustion), pressure (acupressure), massage Tui'na (Twee Na) or cupping all comes under the purview of acupuncture. Through acupuncture, it is said that any points on the body can be stimulated in order to unblock, regulate or redirect Qi. If it is not on the Channel and there is pain - it is called an Ashi Point.

Acupuncture needles are very different than hypodermic needles. Nothing is injected into the body. The needles are very fine and very flexible, and can barely be felt when inserted (unless there is Qi stagnation - you can feel that).

Acupuncture for the most part does not hurt. Some people may experience a discomfort in certain areas of the body. There is clinical evidence that many types of pain can be treated with acupuncture. In Chinese Medicine any pathogenic factor or disharmony can be addressed. The common cold, flu, headaches, migraines, immune system deficiencies, diabetes, joint pain, low back pain and stress are just a few of the factors that can be treated using acupuncture.

The philosophy of Tao (Dao), Yin (In) and Yang (Yong), must be understood in order to understand acupuncture. Tao is part of the culture in China, the way of life in Chinese Medicine and the foundation in acupuncture. Tao advocates living in moderation, and striving for balance with nature. The Chinese believe that moderation is the key to living a long life, and use acupuncture to balance the body, harmonize the emotions and calm the spirit to maintain health and to bring into balance ill health.

Qi is the life force which is found in every thing, both human and non human. It is the Qi that moves the wave in the ocean and allows the flower to turn toward the sun. From the breath of Qi - Zong Qi to the Qi circulating in the Blood - Xai Qi and the Wei Qi circulating just beneath skin in the Immune System – Qi permeates throughout the entire body. It is the movement of Qi that creates the sensation brought about by acupuncture that you will not want to miss. It feels like an energy flowing, as if you could hear it, but not really. When the acupuncturist takes the needles out of your body you can almost feel the Qi moving, it feels like a thread being pulled from your leg, or foot, or wherever the needle is being drawn out from. Acupuncture is a very calming experience. Simply, stimulating Qi using needles restores the flow of Qi in your body.


The Yin-Yang Theory is based on the philosophical construct of two polar opposites that complement each other. Yin and Yang, are the basic elements of life, when these two opposing forces are in balance we are at peace, and in harmony with all that is. In balance and harmony we remain centered under stress and are much more likely to let things slide. We can respond to situation instead of reacting to situations. When we are out of balance we are easily irritated and frustrated, regardless if the concern or problem is large or small. We exhibit excess in emotions displaying arrogance, pride and impatience with others. Other excesses manifest in anger, grief or excessive lifestyle, which eat away at our Jing. When the emotions run amok or are depressed we create stress, illness and become sick.

All that exists within nature is divided into Yin and Yang. For example, the mountain is Yang and the sea is Yin; acupuncture is Yang and herbs are Yin; one cannot know light without knowing darkness; and one cannot appreciate joy unless one has known sadness. In Chinese Medicine “dis-ease” or disharmony is the result of an imbalance of Yin and Yang in the body. The essence of Chinese Medicine is to help one seek balance of Yin and Yang within ones self and with ones environment. It is said that death is the breakdown of Yin and Yang.

We are made up of three elements – The Three Treasures, Qi (Chee) is your energy, Shen is your Spirit, and Jing is the Essence of life itself. Qi establishes the interconnectedness with everything in heaven and earth and is found humans and animals - in every cell, in the blood, in every organ system - heart, lungs, kidneys etc. and in oxygen. Shen is compared to ones Spirit. Shen is the Light - the heaven in ones being. It is the innate knowing and intuition. It can be seen as the light in one’s eye, experienced in the joy in ones heart, glows in the skin and is the vitality in ones life. Shen also relates to the mind in that it provides clarity in thought, vision, focus and the awareness of the self; related to the soul in that it provides purpose, conviction and direction; related to the emotions in the aspiration, inspiration and willpower and to the flesh as it relates to the direction of the five senses with clarity and intention.

Jing is the essence that helps us grow, develop, mature and reproduce. Jing is a precious essence used to create a baby and the essence spent during intercourse. It cannot be replaced - only nourished, as the Chinese believe that we are each born with a finite amount. Lose of Jing from malnutrition or a careless lifestyle can be nourished with herbs and acupuncture. Acupuncture can reduce the loss by balancing the Qi, or energy, helping to preserve Jing. It is said, when our Jing is used up, we die.

Acupuncture is often used in conjunction with herbal therapy. Acupuncture treatment works with Yang, because it comes from outside the body and goes inside (the act of inserting the needle), while herbal therapies are considered to be Yin because they move throughout the interior of the body.

While acupuncture is primarily known for eliminating or control pain, acupuncture can benefit a host of other illnesses, such as respiratory ailments (asthma), cataracts, hiccups, ulcers, migraines, and toothache, just to name a very few.

The truth is that all ailments can be improved or alleviated with acupuncture - from Alzheimer’s, alcoholism, and addictions to chronic pain. There are acupuncture points in the ear, called auricular-acupuncture, which can also treat the entire body and help alleviate cravings of all addictive behaviours, acute withdrawal from alcoholism and of course pain.

Western medicine is beginning to concede to acupuncture for its use in alleviating chronic pain, such as neck and back, which a lot of westerners suffer from. Western medicine is only now beginning to accept the fact that acupuncture can also be used to help anxiety and chronic fatigue, and more and more medical insurances are beginning to cover acupuncture. This information is meant to be informative only, and does not go into the details that acupuncture deserves; please see a practitioner of Chinese medicine for more information.

Qi/Chi or energy is at the heart of our existence and all of the therapies presented in this series have to do with using Energy Therapy to improve our lives by balancing and restoring the "life force" energy in the health of all of our systems from organs and tissues to re-balancing or restoring deficient Qi.

Healing the body with energy has been around for centuries, notably it is what we use in Chinese Medicine an ancient medicine rooted in Taoism . Qi/Chi is the vital force energy in all things including humans. Traditional Chinese Medicine can explain how Qi/Chi or vital force energy works, but can not explain it through the language of modern science.

Quantum Medicine is a new form of medicine, which synthesizes quantum theory with Eastern Taoist philosophy in order to explain "vital force" energy or Qi/Chi in the human experience. It uses the same consciousness just a different language. Regardless, of the language used energy healing works!

Most symptoms, aliments or illness are "Lifestyle" diseases caused by dis-stress, leading to dis-ease, which is the cause of 80 to 90% of disease or metabolic imbalance in the body.

Fatigue, stress, lack of energy, poor diet, obesity, muscle overexertion from excessive exercise and a host of other symptoms bring overwhelming health concerns that can lead to chronic diseases as in heart or muscle disease. No matter the cause, the effects are real and can seriously impact quality of life. Whether it’s pain, a heart patient, an athlete, or simply a grandparent wanting to spend quality time with the grandchildren, the amount and quality of energy determines how we feel and how well we can handle and respond to the activities, obstacles and challenges of everyday life.

There are many methods that have shown their results by way of different applications that impact the metabolic health of millions worldwide all using Qi/Chi or energy as the healing source. I invite you to try a few alternative techniques from A to Z.

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE A to Z - INTRODUCTION

Alternative Medicine or “alternative healing” comes from ancient medical wisdom and developed over time. All primitive cultures and societies have some method of treating pain and ailments. Some invented methods using instruments made of stone and perfected the use to fine needles, some used herbs and shrubs to provide relief, others used a mud or clay paste, while others used ice packs, hot water bottles, and massage – all these methods are a form of medicine as they relieve pain and other ailments. These alternative methods are not used by Western Medicine hence they fall under the category of alternative medicine. Be it called Holistic medicine, Natural medicine, Complementary medicine, or Integrated medicine, they are all aspects of alternative medicine. The some of the more common alternative therapies include acupuncture, acupressure, aromatherapy, ayurveda, biofeedback, charka therapy, homeopathy, massage therapy, music therapy, hypnosis, meditation, naturopathy, nutritional therapy, qi gong, reflexology, reiki, tai chi, yoga. The objective of alternative medicine is twofold: prevention and to bring the body back into balance and harmony.

Alternative medicine has survived through the years for one reason. It works. The theory of alternative medicine has been ridiculed throughout the centuries by WCM, but the fact remains that these remedies, therapies and treatments work. They may not work as fast as drugs or surgery, but they do work. Holistically and naturally these treatments work without adverse side effects. These types of treatments can be beneficial for most people to put the body, mind, spirit, soul and emotions back in balance, harmony and wellness, if given a chance. Try a few of the techniques and therapies you will be pleasantry surprised at the benefits and results.
