Pain Management
Acupuncture allows you to rest and relax as your body resets itself. This is helpful when you are experiencing too much pain for more active qigong healing practices. It’s also great when you’ve been really active and need a rest!
Acupuncture combined with qigong healing practices supports inner changes to what I have found to be often long term painful inner struggles presenting themselves through chronic physical symptoms. The way that I see the most positive change happening starts with looking at a person’s physical condition as a symptom that something in their human energy field is in some way needing to be shifted in order for their physical form to also positively change! This may sound different from the way you usually think of how a human being becomes a human being although it might just be our culture hasn’t embraced that we are all made of energy appearing to have a solid form. At least that’s how it sounded to me growing up! As I’ve explored the world with a focus on energy as both where we originate and what gives us physical form, I’m seeing how nothing is unchangeable unless we stop taking action to change it! This includes embracing that consciousness is giving form rather than the other way around!
The healing for anyone begins with accepting how you are in your body relative to how you in your inner open heart space know you can be— this isn’t always at all clear so accept that too because once you do you can move toward your in the moment personal and interpersonal unique way of adding to the world around you in a heart connected, mutually fulfilling way! This may sound too easy and at the same time impossible! In practice healing will ask you to learn new skills to help you recognize it’s all an inside out unfolding that sometimes needs additional energy to keep moving forward as if something desired is and always has been already there!
A feeling of heart resonance is the best way to know whether it’s for you to work with me. Not sure how to determine that? See my [link to “Heart Centered and Growing More Fulfilled from the Inside-Out” video].
Movement-based classes like Tai Chi Flow provide a more interactive and playful experience that over time will allow you to more consciously release the patterns of bodily resistance and tension that cause non-injury pain.
A flow experience will in no particular timing enhance the ability to move free from past compensation patterns. Long term practice will expand awareness in terms of opening finer levels of physical distinction and ability to move individually with a greater sense of coordination, ease, and effectiveness. Long term practice will also expand the sense of connection to others and the world around you!
Flow as a way of moving is based on principles that the one moving in flow will feel able to self-validate. This includes benefits that Harvard Medical School researchers have been able to confirm like:
Relieving pain and reducing inflammation
Reducing stress, anxiety, and depression
Decreasing high blood pressure
Increasing lower and upper extremity strength
Increasing flexibility and joint health
Reducing fear and risk of falling
Increasing immune function
Qigong Energy Healing including Acupuncture provides the above benefits while making it possible for those who are not yet able to stay quiet inside long enough to enjoy the present moment to start getting personal support in letting go of past negative (and often unconscious) belief systems and emotional “baggage”!
Don’t keep settling for avoiding what still seems potentially overwhelming when you know that’s ultimately keeping you from what you want most!
