Healing Qigong, healing the meridians, healing psychological and physical pain

 According to the over five-thousand year old Chinese medicine, our body consists of meridians, passages, or rivers. It is like our whole body is split into parts, a beautiful and super-complex puzzle of flowing and moving parts. 

The meridians start at the top of our fingers, in our face and at the end of our toes. This is how the meridians connect with our environment, the earth and heaven. 

Each meridian has its own function, is related to its organs and other parts of the body. 

By practicing Healing Qigong we move our whole body in a special way. This special and natural way moves all meridians and invites them to open up.

In our lives, we encounter all sorts of situations which challenge us, teach us and sometimes hurt us. All these experiences we are not able to digest, or heal from, we carry around. In our memories, in our mind and also in our body.

We store all sorts of experiences in our body, until the time comes to heal them en let them free. I think human beings are especially good at gathering and storing stuff, just look around in your house. The same is true for our body and mind; we store a lot. 

All things we store in our body and mind are stored in the meridians, and that is not such a good idea. Meridians need to be open, Qi needs to flow through them. Also, blood, hormones and all other liquids need to flow freely through the body for us to stay healthy. 

So when we start practicing Healing Qigong, we start opening up the meridians. Opening up the meridians means cleaning up the things we have stored there. Releasing our system from old emotions, pain, memories, blockages means our system gets more healthy every time we practice.
