Prerequisite: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced Acupressure

Wind & Water Medical Qi Gong has been developed by Brian O'Dea, L. Ac. Medical Qi Gong has existed for thousands of years, and is an ancient branch of Asian Bodywork Therapy. Medical Qigong refers to a range of therapeutic methods, including applied Tai Chi/Qi Gong philosophy, movement and methods of moving energy. Grounded in ancient Chinese philosophy combined with meridian and point theory, this form balances energy (qi), blood, and body fluid flow from the inside. The goal is to balance and enhance, to cultivate, a practitioners energy and to then use that enhanced energy to facilitate the creation of greater health and balance in their clients. Practitioners cultivated intention and particular body movements are used to guide the qi in healthy directions. Tai Chi/Qi Gong exercises, theory, applications, and practice are all included. The term "Medical" is not meant to connote that this work is a form of medicine. The term is used in China to denote this kind of Asian Bodywork Therapy, to differentiate it from Qi Gong movement exercises for personal use. Both the AOBTA and NCCAOM recognize "Medical Qi Gong" as a form of Asian bodywork. |
