Qi Gong
Qigong is a combination of two ideas:
"Qi" (pronounced chee), means air, breath of life, or vital energy that flows through all things in the universe.
"Gong" (pronounced gung, as in lung) means the skill of working with, or cultivating, self-discipline and achievement.
Together, Qigong means the skill of cultivating vital energy, or the ability to work with the electromagnetic energy of the body.
The body is enveloped by Qi or electromagnetic currents, affecting both internal and external organ functions. As Qi is the fundamental energy that sustains life, it is present in every cell of the body.
Medical qigong, one of the four main branches of Chinese medicine, is a complete system of medicine that recognizes the root causes of symptoms or disease, and treats the patient as a whole. Practiced as an excellent adjunct to Western medicine, Chinese medicine may successfully treat conditions which Western medicine finds resistant or ambiguous.

The goal of qigong is to correct bio-energetic imbalances and blockages in the body that accumulate throughout our lifetime. These include poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, injuries, surgery, toxic influences, suppression of emotions, and aging. Medical qigong therapy and qigong self-treatment, both enable the body to return to its natural state of health and harmony. Pain and stress may be relieved and hormones regulated. Deep-seated emotions, which are considered a major root cause of illness within Chinese medicine, may be purged and released. This strengthens the body and regulates the internal organs, the nervous system and the immune system.
Medical Qigong is an ancient form of Chinese energetic medicine, and is one of the four main branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), along with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and medical massage. As with the other "Branches" of TCM, healing occurs through balancing qi or electromagnetic energy which surrounds and pervades all living creatures.

Disruptions in the electromagnetic energy of the body occur throughout our lifetime as a result of poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, injuries, surgery, suppression of emotions, and aging.
The goal of qigong is to correct these bio-energetic imbalances and blockages. This enables the body to strengthen and regulate the internal organs, the nervous system and the immune system, relieve pain, regulate hormones, and strengthen and release deep-seated emotions and stress.
Medical qigong therapy consists of treatment by a practitioner to regulate the client's qi. After the treatment the client will be given qigong prescriptions to assist in their ongoing healing.

Medical qigong is a complete system of health care that recognizes the root causes of symptoms or disease, and treats the client as a whole. Practiced as an excellent adjunct to Western medicine, Chinese medicine may successfully treat people with conditions which Western medicine finds resistant or ambiguous.
In China and more recently in the United States, doctors have applied qigong in hospitals and clinics to treat individuals suffering from a variety of ailments. Medical qigong therapy and prescriptions can be used to treat people with cancer and help reduce or eliminate side effects from radiation and chemotherapy. It will help in treating cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease and post-stroke syndrome. It is especially useful in treating any kind of chronic pain, and chronic disorders of the digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems.
Like any other system of health care, qigong is not a panacea but a highly effective health care practice. Many health care professionals recommend qigong as an important form of complementary and alternative medicine.
In practicing complementary and alternative medicine, we seek to support the care of your existing physician, therapist, or acupuncturist.
Qigong’s great appeal is that anyone can enrich their lives by adding qigong to their daily routine, regardless of ability, age, belief system, or life circumstances. Qigong exercises enable people to feel and perform better and have higher levels of energy and stamina.
People practice qigong to maintain health, heal their bodies, calm their minds, and reconnect with their spirit.
Qigong exercises properly practiced can:
Improve physical strength and energy

In qigong, the use of breath work with individual physical movements, creative visualization, and perceptual intention are combined to focus on a specific purpose. This purpose or goal determines the specific type of exercises you choose to practice.
Regardless what type of qigong you practice, martial, medical, or spiritual, you'll find that type of qigong will have other benefits. Practicing martial qigong will benefit your health and enhance your spirituality; medical qigong may include the practice of discharging or emitting qi (for healing rather than martial purposes); spiritual qigong practice can enhance both martial skills and health.
The three major qigong disciplines:

Qigong practice can improve performance in the martial arts or any other sport. Chinese martial artists designed or helped to improve many qigong techniques as they looked for ways to increase speed, stamina, and power, improve balance, flexibility, and coordination, and condition the body against injury. Qigong exercises can improve performance in any sport, improving the golf drive, tackling ability in football, accuracy in tennis, and stamina in swimming.
Medical qigong therapy and prescriptions combine the use of breath work with individual physical movements, and mental intention. The goal of qigong is to correct the electromagnetic imbalances enabling the body to strengthen and regulate the internal organs, the nervous system, and the immune system relieve pain, regulate hormones, strengthen and purge deep-seated emotions and stress. Medical qigong therapy offers clients a safe and effective way to help rid themselves of many years of electromagnetic disruptions in this body caused by injuries, surgery, chemical and environmental influences, emotional changes and aging.

Medical qigong can be divided into two methods of application internal qigong or self treatment and external qigong or qi emission.

Rolling the Ball |
Internal Qigong or Self Treatment: Internal qigong is a major part of
qigong therapy. This form of qigong is practiced by oneself to achieve a specific purpose. A form of psycho-physiological self-regulation, internal qigong regulates the qi of the body for the purposes of harmonizing our internal energy systems for health enhancement and disease prevention. Typically, these are simple breathing and movement exercises or seated meditations.

Guiding the Qi using Bellows Palm |
External Qigong or Qi Emission: External qigong refers to the process by which qigong practitioners direct or emit their qi to others to purge and release toxic emotions from within the body's tissues, eliminate energetic stagnations, as well as tonify, and regulate the internal organs, immune system, and energetic fields. The practitioner may touch areas on the other person's body or simply pass his hands over the body.
When patients are ill and their own level of qi is very low or stagnant, receiving qi from a qigong practitioner can prove to be a powerful stimulant toward recovery. Generally, however, people who receive external qigong from a qigong practitioner, simultaneously do their own internal practice.

Meditation |
This practice takes the form of meditation, including moving meditation as well as stillness. As a spiritual discipline, qigong leads to self-awareness, tranquility, and harmony with nature.
HOW EAR CANDLES WORK
The healing properties of the Ear Candle has its foundation in two primary physical actions.
Firstly, the slight under pressure (the chimney effect) inside the Ear Candle and the vibration of the rising air column serve to gently massage the ear drum and promote secretion in the frontal and paranasal sinuses.

This has an immediate subjective effect of regulating and balancing ear pressure. Users often describe a soothing, light sensation in the ear and head area.
Secondly, the locally applied warmth stimulates vascularization, invigorates the immune system and reinforces the flow of lymph. At the same time, important acupuncture points and reflex zones are stimulated.
Ear candles are soothing, helpful and excellent in the treatment of:
Sinusitis, Headaches, T.M.J. or jaw pain, Earaches, Otitis Externa, Tropical Ear, Tinnitus, Ear Noise, Many stress related symptoms, Balancing Ear Pressure, Nervousness

The effect after treatment is a soothing,pressure and pain relieving sensation, mainly in the ear and head regions.
Clearer nasal breathing and an improved sense of smell (even when the nose was blocked before treatment) are often experienced, as well as a wonderful relaxed feeling, a deep sense of security and a feeling of happiness are often experienced.
