Qigong Energy-Work Healer
| | Qi (pronounced chee) is the body’s life enabling vital energy. We experience blockage or depletion of this vital energy as pain, disease or disharmony. These effects may be felt in our mind, body, and/or spirit. In Asian Medicine, methods like acupuncture, cupping, guasha, herbs, moxibustion, tuina massage, and qigong are used to balance and free the flow of Qi. Mark Melchiorre uses these Asian Mind-Body Energy methods, including specialized forms of acupuncture known as Balance, Chronotherapy, and I Ching styles, to promote health and to effectively treat and prevent a variety of physical and emotional disorders. Mark teaches tai chi and qigong, Asian Medicine's self-care component, to those interested in health maintenance, self-healing and increasing vitality. |
