Ch’i is Your Life Energy
In health vital life energy freely circulates along pathways, called meridians, which are energetically connected to our internal organs. Each meridian influences the functioning of its corresponding organ system.
When the flow of this energy, which is called ch’i, is strong and unobstructed in our meridians, our internal organs work together harmoniously and have ample energy. This protects us against disease and promotes healing. When vital ch’i energy is blocked, unbalanced, or depleted, disease manifests in the body or mind.
Five-Element Acupuncture unblocks and fortifies the flow of ch’i in the meridians and our organ systems by using acupuncture needles, which are inserted into the meridians, and with moxabustion, which is the gentle burning of small cones of mugwort applied to an acupuncture point. These ancient techniques are extremely safe and have a profound effect on our health and the quality of our lives.
