Qigong Energy Work
Are you ready to make a shift in your life? Sick of being sick all the time? Qigong Energy Healing can help you to become an empowered partner in your own healing.
Based in Taoist techniques, Qigong (Chi Kung) Energy work helps to remove obstacles to healing, restore the body’s natural flow, and bring balance to your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual life. Just as we have a physical anatomy and physiology, we have an energetic body as well. Chi Kung works through the meridians (the "rivers of light" or energetic pathways in the body), the chakras ("wheels of light" which run, vertically, along the center of the body), and the aura fields (the different layers of your energy body),. to discover imbalance, remove obstructions, and help your energy body return to an innate, vibrant, state. A balanced, fluid, and free flowing energy body means less illness, more potency, and the ability to step fully into your life.
I offer Qigong Healing Sessions as an independent healing modality, and also, if the client is interested and it is appropriate, as an integrated part of my psychotherapy work.
Qigong healing unfolds in partnership. Each session is an energetic conversation between the healer’s higher consciousness, and the client’s inner knowing. The goal of the work is to help you feel empowered and more connected to your own healing abilities.
Qigong Energy Work helps you to:
- Find and grow your relationship to your spiritual center
- Take your healing into your own hands
- Learn how to inhabit your energy body and your life more fully
- Remove obstacles to healing
- Reduce symptoms of illness or injury
- Recover lost parts of yourself (Soul Retrieval)
Soul Retrieval
In addition to the other Qigong Healing practices I offer Taoist-based Soul Retrieval to assist you in recovering aspects of your soul essence which may have disassociated due to trauma, illness, or injury. Especially for individuals living with chronic illness, Soul Retrieval can have a powerfully beneficial impact on your life and on your ability to fully receive the benefits of other healing modalities (allopathic or alternative).
Who I Work With
I work with people at all different places in the healing spectrum and am particularly interested in supporting individuals healing from chronic illness and those who are ready and willing to make positive shifts in their lives.
What a Session Looks Like
Qigong Energy Work takes place on a comfortable massage table in my Boulder office with the client fully clothed. We'll often spend the beginning of a session checking in and helping you to set your intention for the session. The work itself is primarily off the body and in the energetic field. At the end of my sessions I will often suggest specific exercises and practices to support integration.
Distance Healing
Because the energy body is non-local, this work is also available through distance sessions. During distance sessions, we will talk briefly at the beginning and end of each session, but you do not need to stay of the phone for the duration of the work. Instead you lay back, get comfortable, practice finding your center, and receive.
At first, the concept of distance work can be a little hard to grasp. Many clients find, however, that the distance work is just as powerful as the in person healing.
Energy Healing Q & A
What is Qigong (Chi Kung)?
Qigong is the ancient Taoist study of energetic awareness. Qi (chi) means life-force, and Gong (Kung) means cultivate, so literarily, Qigong translates as "cultivating life-force." The Qigong that I practice and teach has its roots in pre-revolutionary China, and is closer to 5-elements acupuncture, than Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Generally speaking, Qigong is broken into three categories: massage, internal and external meditations and practices (which can look like seated or standing meditation, or some forms of moving tai chi), and Qigong Energy Work (also known as medical Qigong, or Clinical Chi Kung).
I maintain a personal practice of daily Qigong meditation and movement. In my proffessional practice, I both teach Qigong practices, and offer Qigong Energy Work. Qigong Energy Work works with the organ meridians (rivers of light in the body which feed and support the organs), the eight extraordinary meridians (the "deeper" meridians which are the basis for the energetic structure), the chakras, the cauldrons, and other, more esoteric aspects of the energy body.
Qigong is a well-respected form of energetic healing, and in China they even have Qigong hospitals!
Will you read my aura and tell me about my past lives?
No. Although I may receive some images or information about you during our work together, I am not a psychic healer. In all of my work, my goal is to empower you to be your own healer. Therefore, I will never tell you what I see or experience in your "aura," but I will always encourage you to tap into your own deep center and listen for the answers to your questions which are living there. Of course I will share with you the information I find in my assessment of your energy body (the state of your meridians, what points were in or out of balance, whether or not their was foreign energy in your system, etc.) and how it relates to your current situation, but will always do so in the spirit of supporting you in drawing your own conclusions. This way, with each session, you become more and more skilled at living from your center, and I become less and less necessary in your life!
How do I know it is effective?
Healing is, of course, not the same thing as curing. It is a highly personal process, and each individual experiences it differently. Healing is more about personal evolution, growth, and harmony, than symptom relief per se. That said, many individuals, as they engage on their path to healing, do find relief from their symptoms.
Generally, you will know a session was effective because you will feel more alert, relaxed, capable of facing your life, and in your own power. You may feel tired, initially, as the session integrates, but within a few days or so, you should also feel more balanced and whole. Your ability to live from your own center of power and take up your own energetic space should increase with each session. I suggest that my clients give our work together three sessions. If after that time, you are not feeling that the work is impacting you in a positive way, than this work may not be for you.
Do I have to believe in energy work for it to be successful?
The great thing is, you don’t have to believe in it, for it to work. Other clients like you, who weren’t sure they believed in energy healing, reported feeling more grounded, more centered, a sense of relaxation, and lasting symptom relief after our sessions.
How often should I come?
I generally recommend that clients dealing with chronic issues schedule four initial sessions (once every two weeks), and then begin to spread their treatment out to once a month for three or four months, and then, eventually, only come in once every season for a "tune up." Of course, individualized plans are also available.
A Final Note on Energy Healing
Healing is a powerful process that follows its own time pace. Although energy work can often accelerate the process of healing, it is not a “quick fix.” Everyone’s healing process is unique. In addition, I am not a medical doctor and do not practice medicine. I do not diagnose, treat disease or prescribe medication. I assist people in correcting energetic imbalances which in turn assists the body in unleashing its own healing abilities. I recommend that clients continue to see their regular healthcare practitioners and follow their advice.
