Qigong Healing

There are several types of doctors of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Perhaps most people are aware of acupuncturists and Chinese herbal therapies. Besides these traditions, there are also Medical Qigong doctors who can use similar diagnostic methods, such as checking the pulses and tongue symptoms and corresponding these findings in accordance with five-element theory. In addition to these diagnostic methods, Medical Qigong doctors also are able to sense and perform an examination intuitively because of their ability to read energy. These skills can be developed over time in some people during the course of training with experience Medical Qigong doctors. In the end, diagnosis is overall a complex phenomenon that employs all available information that is available to the doctor.

Because of the training of the Medical Qigong doctor, such as learning grounding and energy projection, he or she is able to sense and manipulate a patient's energy field to facilitate healing. There is an energy point in the center of the palm that is called the lao gong that can be used to both sense and move energy when it is placed a fist's distance or more away from the body. In some cases, a doctor may also use the first two fingers to delve deeply into the energy field. Moving the hand or fingers in a counterclockwise position helps drain excessive energy in a spot that has a blockage or is inflammed. Moving in a clockwise position can tonify, or add, energy to an area that is deficient in energy. The practitioner is usually standing and grounded, and he or she can either pull energy from the ground or can shunt excess energy to the ground. The hand that is not used can also serve as a ground.

Medical Qigong doctors practice qigong (and/or Tai Chi) exercises daily to help them clear themselves of toxic energy and recharge themselves. They also prescribe qigong exercises that can be specifically for certain diseases. For instance, the exercises for a liver disease will be different than exercises for a person who has cancer. The differences relate to where the energy channels are located in the body. A liver disease exercise will focus on the liver channel, while cancer requires working with all of the channels of the body.

There are also qigong exercises that improve your health in a non-specific manner, such as improving the immune system, increasing the flow of the circulatory systems, improving of flexibility and improvement of overall energy levels. Such exercises include standing qigong meditation, breathing meditation exercises, and movements such as the Eight Brocades. A combination of these exercises can improve health better than just doing a single set of exercises. What is most important for health improvement is daily practice. Practice should start in the early morning before you have breakfast because that can set the pace for your day so you will be more relaxed and have more energy. In the evening, it is good to practice meditative forms in the evening to help you have a restful sleep.
