FAQ

What should I expect when I arrive at the Qi centre?: First you will be asked to fill in a health questionnaire, detailing any symptoms, physical or emotional conditions you are suffering from. You will be able to discuss your ailments and hopes for the healing with the Qi Master. You will then receive Qi Treatment and have time to discuss the Qi Masters findings and advice concerning your health. They will recommend the best way for you to maintain your health.
How does Qi Treatment work?: Qi Treatment begins with you lying on your back. The Qi Master will check your energy circulation by resting their hands on your abdomen area. They will then begin to open the energy pathways by working on pressure points on your abdomen, arms, legs, neck, shoulders and head. At the same time, they will emit a sound made with their breath to push energy into your body. You will then turn over whilst they stimulate points on your back, shoulders, arms and legs. Finally you will sit up whilst the master loosens the tension in your shoulders and neck. The whole process takes around 15 minutes and the results are normally felt instantly.
What should I expect to feel after receiving Qi Treatment?: Most people report they feel lighter, calmer and less stressed. There is often a relief from pain and other symptoms as well as feeling energised. Many chronic health conditions are greatly relieved following Qi Treatment. Please call to enquire about specific health conditions.
Are there any negative effects?: Most people feel immediately better but it is possible to feel more tired following the Qi Treatment whilst energy fully digests into your system. In some cases, when someone is holding a lot of toxins in their body, Qi Treatment stimulates the movement and the further release of toxins over some days. This may mean you would get a cold, mild headache or other symptom which would normally disappear in a day or two, but is part of the healing process.
Can I receive a Qi Treatment whilst on medication or receiving other treatment?: Yes. Qi Treatment does not interfere with medication or other treatments, and in some cases may be complimentary. Some medications can have toxic side effects, and Qi Treatment help to detoxify the body.
My body is very sensitive to touch. Will I be able to withstand the pressure?: Even though Qi Treatment involves acupressure which may cause some discomfort, when you have stress or tension in the body and it is released you feel much better. Qi Masters treat all ages from young children through to the elderly, the pressure and style of treatment is adjusted accordingly. If you are particularly sensitive you may wish to advise the Qi Master before the session.
What is the cost for a Qi Treatment?: In London, Qi Treatment costs £40 with a Qi Master and £60 with a senior Qi Master. Concessions receive a 50% discount and prices can vary at regional centres so please call for information. You may also purchase a course of Qi Treatments at a discounted rate.
Can anyone do Qi Energy Classes?: Qi Energy Classes are suitable for anyone of any age or physical condition. The movements are very slow and gentle, but require concentration and focus. It is not how well one does the movements that matter, but how much one is able to bring energy into the body. The movements are simply the means to carry energy into the body, but the mind is the vehicle that receives energy. When we direct the mind to a certain part of the body, all the energy gathers in that area.
How often should I do a Qi Energy Class?: You can do training as often as you like. The more often you join the classes, the faster you can make progress. Qi Energy has a cumulative effect, i.e., as it builds up in the body and reaches an optimum level, it strengthens and repairs the energy system.
Should I do Qi Energy Classes even though I am not sick?: Qi Energy Classes are beneficial not only for physical illnesses, but also stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue and pain. It is also preventative and aids spiritual growth. Due to the degradation of our natural environment, people are now more prone to environmental illnesses and weakened immunity. Scientific studies have showed the positive effect of Qi Energy Classes on the immune, respiratory, hormonal and cardiovascular systems.
Are there any side effects from Qi Energy Classes?: There are no side effects from Qi Energy Classes because it is a natural healing method. However, as the training opens up long-term energy blockages, sometimes people may experience some pain, toxic or emotional release. Qi Energy Classes can also tap into deeply held emotions, and we may have to confront certain aspects of our personality that could have contributed to ill health or disharmony in our lives. The Qi meditation helps tremendously to overcome these emotional blockages.
Is there a conflict between Qi Energy Classes and other therapies?: There is usually no conflict between Qi Energy Classes and other therapies. However, often people find that it is preferable to just focus on one as energy may be different. Qi Energy Classes work on the root of physical and emotional problems, not simply alleviating their symptoms.
Is there a belief system behind Qi Energy Classes?: Qi Energy Classes follow the principles of Nature and are rooted in the ancient martial arts. They come closest to a Taoist practice focusing on becoming one with the universe and finding balance and harmony within.
