Neigong - Taoist Energy Work - 65.00 per hour
What is Neigong?
Neigong Needleless Acupuncture is a technique whereby the patient’s meridians or channels and the acupuncture points are activated by touch instead of being needled. For the patient there is a visceral sensation of qi or energy filling the body and then the sensation of meridian lines and the organ, "lighting up". For most people this feels like a strong electrical, warm or tingling sensation.
Many people are familiar with Qigong or the cultivation of internal energy known as qi, (“chee”), for health and longevity.
Neigong, “nay-gong”, consists of two words, Nei, meaning internal or inner, and gong meaning work, cultivated over time. Neigong is all internal, not requiring any specific postures or movements. Some neigong practitioners are able to directly open the acupuncture meridians or channels, by removing blockages and circulating the qi. As every organ system has an associated channel, this allows the neigong practitioner to correct, balance and heal many imbalances and issues within specific organs and their associated channels without the use of needles.
As the body is the vehicle and physical foundation for consciousness, neigong can also be used to clear stagnation in the energetic body and its energetic centers to clarify and stabilize awareness.

Chinese Herbal Medicine - Prices Vary
What is Chinese Herbal Medicine?
Herbal medicine is the oldest form of healing on the planet. The Chinese form of herbal healing is the oldest documented form of herbal healing. There are more than 500 medicinals used in traditional Chinese remedies, 300 of which are most commonly used. Shen Nong's Herbal Classic is a 2000 year old book on herbal medicine describing 365 different remedies and their effects and is recognized as the oldest book on herbal medicine.
Chinese herbal formulas consist of 4 to 20 herbs of varying doses, combined together to treat a specific diagnosis. Chinese herbal remedies never consist of just a single herb; rather, the herbs are mixed together so that the sum is greater than its parts. In one formula, you will find various herbs to treat sore throat, relieve fever, and quell a cough.
Herbs are prescribed for a specific diagnosis and never just given because of certain symptoms.
There is a Chinese saying,
"Yi tong bing zhi – Yi bing tong zhi", which means, "same disease, different formulas; different disease, same formula."
In Chinese medicine, 5 different people may have headaches and need 5 different specific formulas to treat them, because they all have headaches for different reasons. Two people may have different symptoms, but if the root cause were the same, they would take the same formula.
Herbal medicine is taken on a weekly basis and according to the change in the patient, may differ or remain the same from week to week.
Once the body is brought into balance, the herbal treatment will end.

Acupuncture - 65.00 per hour
What is Acupuncture? To understand acupuncture, first we must understand qi, (chee), and the meridians.
Qi and the Meridians
Qi is the bio-electrical life force of the body. It comes from our parents, the food and drink we ingest, and the air we breathe in. Qi travels in the body through a series of interconnected pathways that travel both close to the surface and deeper within the body.
These pathways we call meridians, or channels make up the electrical system of the body.
Many of the meridians home to or travel through one of the major organs of the body. So we call them the heart channel, liver channel etc...
Where the energy tends to pool, we call those the acupoints.
It is through the acupoints with either a needle or with neigong that we access and moderate that energy of the meridian system.
There are 3 main imbalances of the meridian system:
When these systems and the fluids of the body are balanced, this is true health.
A Short History of Acupuncture
Acupuncture originated in ancient China. Before there was the technology to make needles from metal, some believe the ancient Chinese utilized thin, chiseled stones called Bian stones to push upon certain points on the body.
They recently excavated a Bian stone in Mongolia that was from the Neolithic era which ranges from 4 to 10 thousand years ago.
In 1991 they found an Iceman called Otsi in the Alps near the Italian and Austrian border. He had strange tattoos that were described initially as tribal, but an acupuncturist happened to be watching the show and thought that they correlated to acupoints, specifically for chronic low back pain. He contacted the researchers who then did an MRI on the body and confirmed chronic low back pain. The tattoos are either on or millimeters away from known acupoints.
The Iceman is at least 5,300 years old, and chances are they didn't just come up with it that year.
Acupuncture has been around a long time. Acupuncture and herbal medicine have been used over time to treat more people than any other modalities or forms of treatment in the history of mankind. These forms of healing have been used and refined over thousands and thousands of years.

There are 3 main imbalances of the meridian system:
- Excess if there is too much energy in a particular channel
- Deficiency if there is too little
- Stagnation if the energy does not move
When these systems and the fluids of the body are balanced, this is true health.
