About Energy Medicine

Energy medicine seeks to use, for potential health purposes, forces of two types:

• Forces that scientific instruments can measure (for example, forces associated with electromagnetic fields).
• Forces (called biofields or putative energy fields) that some people believe surround and penetrate the human body, but whose existence is not yet scientifically proven. Ki, the life-force energy described in Reiki, is in this second category.
• Researchers have been interested in detecting and describing the physical properties of biofields. Some, using certain sophisticated tools, have claimed to detect or photograph differences in study participants before and after energy treatments. However, it is not clear what is being detected or photographed. Others have claimed to detect energy interactions between healers and people they treat. However, these findings have not been validated, and the exact nature of the energies is not clear

About Wei Qigong

Wei Qigong is a type of energy medicine based on the principles of TCM

Professor Duan said that the “…application of energy for healing should follow a balancing of energy…”, and that “…most of the unbalanced energy would be found in the head of the patient…” Professor then began a demonstration of a “special” (his word) technique for drawing excess energy down from the head, and balancing the whole body. It is simple and profound. I call it Wei Qi Gong.   Professor and his wife Tian worked happily over the next several hours guiding the eager students through the process, laughing, singing, and stopping here and there to share a special piece of advice.
