In Chinese Medicine pain and disease are caused by blockage of the body’s vital energy. The Chinese call this energy “Qi (气).” It is said that:
“Where Qi does not flow, there is pain”
Imbalances leading to blockage of the vital energy/Qi include:
- Emotions: Anger, anxiety, worry, sadness, fear, depression, stress.
- Environment: Allergens, climate, noise, radiation, toxins.
- Diet: Drugs, toxins, lack of nutritious foods, overeating of sweets, caffeine, fats.
- Physical: Overwork, lack of exercise, improper exercise, bad posture, injuries.
The first step in restoring health is to insure the free flow of the vital energy/Qi in the body to maximize your innate ability for self-healing, increased vitality, and inner calm.
“Where there is free flow of Qi, there is no pain”
