Qi gong is a type of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that is thought to be at least 4,000 years old. Internal Qi gong is a self-directed technique that involves the use of sounds, movements, and meditation. Internal Qi gong actively engages people in their own health and well-being, and can be performed with or without the presence of an instructor. External Qi gong, also known as qi emission, is performed by a master using his or her hands on a patient, with the aim to project qi for the purpose of healing. Preliminary research reports that internal Qi gong or externally applied Qi may be useful in the management of pain and anxiety caused by pain. However, the available research is low quality, and more evidence is needed in this area before a scientifically based conclusion can be drawn.

Patricia Reynolds Sorbye Hypnotherapy is a wonderful way to help alleviate feelings of pain. We must remember that pain actually has a very important role to play in wellness, however and always seek to determine what is the cause and reason for any pain, before moving to resolve it. I am happy to discuss this further with you. Please visit http://www.watervox.net
