One of the most important healing discoveries I have made, about 12 years ago, was a then newly-published book, THE HEALER WITHIN, by a Chinese Medical Doctor, Roger Jahnke. It has become my "bible" for self healing.
The following is a quote from Dr. Jahnke:
"Awaken the medicine within, and restore the natural self-healing capacity of body, mind, and spirit."
The Chinese are far and away ahead of most of the rest of the world in recognizing our body's ability to heal itself. That ability is the origin of our immune response, the body's first line of defense against any invader. The Chinese believe our body develops dis-ease when the natural flow of our Chi (or life force) is blocked. Restoring this healthy flow of Chi is the purpose of accupuncture, and well as Qi Gong.
Dr. Jahnke provides very effective yet simple ways to activate this energy flow through the regular practice of four essential self-care methods:
* Gentle movement of the body
* Self-applied massage
* Breath practice
* Deep relaxation or meditation
These techniques are the cornerstone of Qi Gong. They are easy to learn and easy to apply, require no special knowledge or training, and can be practiced daily by all people (sick or well).
They can all be done either standing, seated or lying down. I hope you will all explore your body's own self-healing system.
