This August, Ananda in the Himalayas brings its guests Sheila Green with her skill and expertise in Buqi Healing, as part of their visiting master’s programme.
Buqi is an energy healing treatment system developed from Chinese medicine in which the body stores binqi; the build-up of pathogenic factors and toxic by-products. Causes include negative emotions, such as stress, anger, fear and sadness, these form a type of binqi that affects the body’s biochemistry. Binqi accumulates in the inter-vertebral spaces of the spine and throughout the body including the organs; blocking the energy channels. The resulting dysfunction leads to impaired body fluid circulation (blood, lymph, intercellular and cerebrospinal fluid) and stagnation of energy flow.
At the heart of a Buqi treatment is the healing force of the dantian, an energy centre located in the lower abdomen. The dantian, when activated, can generate a strong internal force and it is this force that every Buqi practitioner must first learn to find and develop. During a Buqi treatment the practitioner activates their own energy system, creates an energy field around the patient, and then directs binqi out of the patient’s body.
Buqi Sound Daoyin healing sessions, either one to one or in a group, use sound vibrations of the human voice. With spine stretches, the channels and meridians of the body open, allowing unwanted negative factors to be released and expelled.
Buqi Sound Daoyin includes many special Chinese healing sounds but Sheila would concentrate on mantra chanting for health and happiness.
