All living organisms give off a bioelectric field. A qigong healer can detect these fields as well as their imbalances. The goal of qigong is to correct the imbalances that have accumulated throughout a person's lifetime. Imbalances occur from deep-seated emotions (stress, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, etc.), trauma or injury, improper diet, excessive sexual activity, lack of exercise, etc. We also acquire constitutional imbalances from our parents (family health history).

According to qigong theory, the qi that courses through our entire being must flow properly like a river. If there is a block, qi becomes stagnant & prevents other parts of the body from being nourished. If the qi flows too rapidly, it causes degeneration or exhaustion of the internal organs. Qigong brings balance to these energies by filling the deficiency & removing the excess or obstruction.

Practicing qigong or receiving qigong healing activates acupuncture points, meridians & organ systems according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Therefore, qigong's benefits are quite similar to those of acupuncture.

Along with herbs & lifestyle changes, recent scientific studies in China have shown that qigong can resolve various health concerns ranging from hypertension to certain cancers. There is conclusive evidence that qigong can assist in treatment recovery of nearly every disease. Postoperative recovery time was shortened dramatically in patients that used qigong over patients that recovered with standard western techniques.
