Energy Treatment Techniques

GUIDED IMAGERY OR GUIDED MEDITATION

Guided meditations seek to improve mood and health by allowing you to experience your power and your own ability to recharge positive energy and release that which doesn’t serve you. I use these visualizations in my own practice and to keep myself healthy and calm. They work quickly when combined with mindfulness techniques, and the stories you experience through guided meditation help your subconscious mind adjust your reality. Being mindful of your thoughts is everything, as thoughts create our consciousness.

QIGONG

Qigong is a series of postures and movements that draw up and use the energies of the earth. It uses slow and controlled movements to open up blocked meridians, the routes by which qi or energy flows. It is an ancient Chinese technique that is similar in some ways to Yoga or Tai Chi, in that it uses body postures, breathing, and repetitive motion. Even the prestigious Harvard School of Medicine has endorsed the health benefits of Qigong to help ease hypertension (high blood pressure) and depression.

Tai Chi and Qigong use the same fundamental principles. “Chi” and “Qi” both mean “life energy”. Qigong translates as “life energy work”. Qigong is used both for medical treatment and for meditation and relaxation. A Qigong practitioner can help re-align your energy through form and motion. It helps improve not only your physical health through exercise, balance, and breathing, but also your mental and spiritual health by releasing negative energies.
