QIGONG / REIKI / ENERGY TECHNIQUES
Relaxation / More Comfort / Better Sleep

Qigong, Reiki, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and other energy techniques have similar effects on the body and mind.  Only recently have the benefits of energy techniques been documented in a clinical setting in Western countries.  The use of fMRIs and other technology to document changes in the brain and body responses and evaluation by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) are beginning to open the door for use of these energy techniques for physical and mental benefits in VA and DoD as well as civilian integrative wellness programs.

Qigong is an ancient form of health and healing practices which includes exercise, breathing, meditation and cultivation of the body's own natural healing energy.  Qigong exercises are very similar to Tai Chi using slow motion movements, breathing and visualization to promote relaxation, recovery, good health and performance.  Qigong also includes techniques for unblocking, calming and energizing the various energy fields of the body and nervous system, using the concepts of yin and yang energy; movement of the body; placement of hands; breathing; and visualizations.  Personal Qigong is used in the Integrative Immersion Process (IIP) Sessions to unblock or calm, energize and rebalance the energy fields of various nervous systems of the body, similar to acupuncture without needles.

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing tradition that draws upon universal energy offering nurturing and support for the balance of mind, body and emotions. During a session, practitioners place their hands on or above different
areas of the body to assist in alleviating discomfort as well as promote restful sleep and relaxation. Benefits can include a heightened sense of well-being, release of sore muscle tension and relief from  stress.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or the tapping technique also is considered an energy techni
que which includes tapping on various acupuncture points to relieve stress symptoms, discomfort and anxiety while promoting relaxation and mental processing of emotions.  EFT is used at the beginning of the IIP Sessions to calm anxiety, stress symptoms and emotional triggers.
