Chinese Acupuncture |
Classic acupuncture is the art of inserting fine,
sterile, metal filiform needles into certain points along the channels
and collaterals (tributaries of the channels) in order to control
the flow of the Qi. These needles are used only once, sterile and
disposable. They alter the flow of Qi, so that the body can heal
itself. Sometimes we use minute waves of electricity by attaching
a small machine to the needles. |

Chi Nei Tsang
Internal Organ Massage
This Taoist massage technique works with each of the 5 major systems
of the body: the vascular system, the lymphatic system, the nervous
system, the tendon muscle system and the acupuncture meridians (Chi
system).
It emphasizes abdominal manipulation and direct massage of the
internal organs.
The area behind and around the navel center is the most crucial
and powerful energy center in the body. This region generates, stores
and distributes the energy, (Chi), that powers the entire system.
Any disturbances or blockages here hamper and divert the free flow
of a most vital energy.
The abdomen is massaged in a way to help correct chronic health
problems ranging from organ malfunction to structural misalignment.
Reiki
“Rei” means “universal”. “Ki”
(or Chi), is the “vital life energy” that is in all
living things. Reiki is the Universal Life Force.
In ancient times (Reiki has being found in Tibet, China, Egypt,
Japan, and the Greek and Roman cultures), it was the practice of
laying-on-hands, and remains so to-day.
Reiki is channeled from the Higher Source, drawn through the chakras,
or energy centers of the practitioner, out of the hands, and into
the person receiving the treatment. |
