medical qigong update

The following section has been added to my Mahalo qigong page to expand the information content.

 I have also featured a video of a Qigong master projecting chi - It is really a neat video.

 I have Jerry Alan Johnson's Medical Qigong Book in my Library, I often use it as a reference and I do some of the practices on a regular basis. His web site is listed as one of the references.

 Medical Qigong

 Medical Qigong is one of the branches of traditional Chinese medicine. Practitioners must know the energy channels of the body and all of the elemental theory that relates to the five yin organs of the body. It is necessary for medical qigong doctors to know the skills of external qi manipulation, including 1) purgation, 2) tonification and, and 3) regulation. They are able to do this because they develop their own energy through the practice of qigong and/or tai chi. Patients are often given qigong practices so that they can learn how to help improve the flow of qi and become healthier, these are called medical qigong prescriptions.
