What is Healing Qigong & Vitality Coaching?
In recent years, more and more people have discovered Qigong and the benefits of the postures, breathing techniques, flowing movements, meditations, and conscious intention of this energetic and holistic mind-body practice, as well as the transformative experience it offers our body, mind, and spirit. But what most people are unaware of is the extraordinary healing power of this ancient form of Chinese energy medicine.
Medical Qigong is one of the four main branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), along with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and Tui Na massage. Medical Qigong is a non-intrusive, complementary, and integrative energy approach for maintaining health and vitality, and preventing and treating illnesses and disorders. Its methods, techniques, and protocols address deep and persistent imbalances by addressing the root cause rather than just the symptoms, creating a major energetic shift for profound healing.
Qi blockages can occur as a result of poor diet, an unbalanced lifestyle, injuries, surgery, emotional issues, and trauma, among other things. At Mindful Essence, we believe that we all possess an innate healing capacity, a potential that extends across the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual realms. And that to harness it, we only need to activate it correctly. By untying knots and removing blockages, rebalancing and harmonizing the flow of Qi, Medical Qigong activates our healing potential and catalyzes the transformation of our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual lives toward a state of harmonious well-being.
Vitality Coaching goes further by accompanying you through each stage of your healing and aims to equip you with knowledge and tools that are easy to apply in your daily life. In addition to drawing on the wisdom of Chinese medicine and medical Qigong methods, it integrates the latest advances in modern physiology and psychology to understand your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energy, detect Qi blockages, restore your body's energetic balance, and promote the development and maintenance of your vitality. Through this fusion, you are guided through the discovery of practical strategies, self-care practices, and tools that will allow you to restore the harmonious flow of Qi in your body, thus promoting your path to healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Qigong work?
Qigong works by restoring the natural flow of Qi (energy) within the body allowing the activation of its innate ability to heal.
Techniques include Qi emission, non-contact or light touch Qigong massage and acupressure, and healing sound therapy.
By removing energetic blockages, Qigong encourages the body to move back to its natural state of balance and harmony and provides a global sense of well-being.
How much time will it take?
Healing Qigong & Vitality Coaching Sessions usually last 90 minutes. We will start by opening a dialogue about what you are currently experiencing, as well as what you would like to change or release. After the session, your practitioner will teach you specific movement(s) to do at home to support the benefits of your session.
Does Qigong hurt or can be dangerous for me?
Qigong induces a deep relaxation and a general sensation of release (relief).
However, you might experience shifts of energy as a healing response. Those shifts in energy may create some physical or emotional side effects like physical tingling, increased body pain, feeling lighter energetically, mild fatigue, nausea, muscle soreness, headache, thirst, and emotional swings.
This is all a part of the body's healing process and it will decrease and eventually disappear after a certain period.
What does the flow of Qi feel like?
The sensations of Qi within our body are unique and a distinct experience for everyone. Therefore, there is no wrong or right way to experience it.
Here are a few of the typical Qi sensations.
*Tingling or Itching in the hands, feet, ...
*Feelings of floating or sinking
*Feeling of warmth or coolness spreading in limbs and torso or coming out from the hands
*Sense of flowing or circulating
*Moving in the belly
*Sensation of a magnetic field between hands
*Feeling of electrical sensations in the limbs and body
*Feeling of releasing the tension in shoulders and neck
*Feeling the urge to cry or to release tears
*Uncontrolled farting, yawning, burping, sweating
*Feeling of reconnecting with a lost part of oneself, of coming home
How often should I get Qigong Healing Session?
The effects of a Qigong Healing session last usually between 2 to 4 days depending on your specific issue(s) and your goal.
Generally, the more you get Qigong Healing Sessions, the better it works, and the better you feel.
Doing the homework(s) given by your practitioner is the better way to integrate and sustain the benefits of your healing session.
Are distant Healing Qigong sessions as good as in person?
The distant Healing Sessions offer the same benefits as our in-person sessions. This might sound strange, but energy is not limited by time or space. Your practitioner works with the same energy whether you receive it in-person or via Zoom, FaceTime or phone.
