even Doctors were worried as we were not getting better we noticed the Elvis doll was black we both were poisoned by diesel fumes
Will tried every type of Natural healing to no avail over the two years of chronic tiredness chronic head fog and too many symptoms to talk about from diesel poisoning in September 2003 we went to the Royal show and saw Masters carrying out Chi healing using a Korean technique
Will had a ten minute session with one Practitioner and from that time after getting of the table Will was completely healed no head fog or head spins tiredness eye issues as well as simply feeling like he hadn't felt for two years
Will classed this as a miracle and decided to follow the group and do the training in Korean Chi techniques similar to Chi Gong
with exercises and chanting (frequency) from that time on Will new he was onto the most powerful healing techniques he had ever come across after 20 years as a Naturopath we both trained every week with the Monks and eventually taught to impart these exercises we now can train people and show our patients with the latest Russian scanning systems the improvements in the body after sessions with manual and also we are the distributors of Russian technology has now harnessed this technique in the Medi Scan Chi machine most of the symptoms described below we were experiencing after the trip

What is this fantastic healing technique? Have you ever heard of Chi!
Chi is the life force and flow of energy we can’t see but may experience.
It’s what binds us all together, it flows like a stream and moves within us and amongst us. It’s the energy that drives us and connects us.
Some suppress it and are in a state of constant conflict with it, others embrace it, understand it and flow with it.
Although Qi Gong (or Chi Gong) has been practiced in the east for thousands of years, the west is only more recently becoming accustomed to it.
1.Have you learned to listen to and trust your feelings
2. You feel connected
Chi is an energy that connects all things. Suppressing the flow of your Chi will not allow you to feel connected; you may lack that little sense of belonging and may feel like you are missing some meaning or purpose in your life.
.
3. You flow Chi Flows. It’s not rigid and it doesn’t like to be suppressed. It doesn’t form unhealthy attachments to ideas, people or things.
If you flow with life and you are able to show gratitude in all things, chances are you have removed some of the blocks and allowed your Chi to flow again.
4. Experience inner strength, empowerment, and peace all at once
You find comfort knowing that there is much more to life than your circumstance or what you can tangibly see and measure.
Reconnecting with the flow of energy and harnessing your Chi in the right way is an infinite source of peace and strength.
5. Your life has a sense of purpose
Having a sense of purpose is very different to having a specific purpose (or goal).
Understanding your flow of energy and how it relates to all other things helps put things in perspective, you are guided by something bigger than yourself.
You’re driven by feelings of connection, peace and strength and you value them more than any material possession.
Your decision-making processes are also guided by this deeper sense of purpose.
When was the last time you checked in with yourself?
Change the way you see the world. Sounds good Right!
Call Will now and I will show you how to connect to your very own CHI
We can come to you and show you 100% proof that when I show you how fast track your personal CHI In a 1-hour Chi session both manually and also using Russian technology in a compact gold miracle box that emanates Chi frequencies this may well change your life

What Is Chi or Qi it is one of the same Deficiency, and How Is It Treated? Overview
Chances are you had no idea you even had a qi, much less knew that yours could potentially be deficient. However, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a balanced qi is vital to your good physical and mental health. If yours is out of whack, it could be the reason you’re not feeling well.
Read on to find out just how being qi deficient may be affecting your health and how to keep it balanced.
What exactly is qi?Loosely translated, qi is the life force that drives every activity in organic life forms, according to TCM. It’s present in everything from physical objects such as your phone to immaterial aspects of the world like light, heat, and emotion. In Korean culture, it’s known as “ki,” while in Vietnamese culture, it’s known as “gi.”
There’s not a word in Western medicine that translates directly to a body’s qi, but it’s similar to one’s energy. So, a qi deficiency translates loosely into a lack of energy. But it’s much more than that.
Qi, along with the theory of yin and yang (the harmony of seemingly opposite forces), are the two core components of TCM. It’s thought that a sufficient amount of qi is required to maintain the yin and yang of your body. When a person’s qi is balanced and in harmony, they’ll benefit from health, well-being, and contentment. When one’s qi is deficient, pain, suffering, and illness may occur.
What are the symptoms of qi deficiency?Symptoms vary widely, as every organ and every process of the body has its own qi associated with it. A qi deficiency can happen anywhere the body doesn’t have enough energy to perform its functions.
Symptoms may affect the following:
Digestive systemTCM practitioners refer to the digestive system as the spleen, which serves a different function than the organ by the same name in Western medicine. Symptoms of qi deficiency in this system include:
What causes qi deficiency?In TCM, a variety of things determines your qi. It begins with your genetic makeup. It’s also affected by your diet, emotions, and habits from birth onward. It’s always changing.
There are a variety of physical and emotional conditions that are thought to diminish your qi. Among the most common causes are chronic stress and sleep deprivation. Both of these can elevate the stress hormone cortisol, which can interfere with immune function and increase the risk of depression and burnout. You may be able to lower your cortisol levels naturally, using both home remedies and a TCM supplement like ashwagandha.
Other causes may include:

VIEW GUIDE
What’s the connection between qi and the spleen?Western and Eastern medicine view the spleen’s role in the body quite differently. In Western medicine, it’s considered part of the immune system. But it’s not a vital organ, as people can live without one if necessary.
In Eastern medicine, however, the spleen is thought to play a fundamental role in the body and is central to the digestion and distribution of food as it extracts the qi from everything we eat. Thus, it’s frequently a primary suspect if you’re experiencing a lack of energy.
How is qi deficiency treated?Treatment will depend on the type of qi deficiency, how long it’s existed, and the cause. Blood work may be performed as well to rule out causes better addressed by conventional medicine or addressed in conjunction with it.
Treatments may include:
Nutritional therapiesMost of a person’s qi comes from the foods they choose to eat and the air they breathe, so often nutritional recommendations are made to treat a deficiency. They typically include the elimination of raw foods and cold foods like ice cream and fruit. These are believed to weaken digestion.
Utilizing heat to cook foods by steaming, grilling, or roasting can build qi. It’s also typically recommended that junk food, fried food, and dairy be removed from the diet. “Warming foods” such as grains, pumpkin, and chicken, as well as spices like cumin, cayenne, and ginger, should be consumed frequently. Learn more about yin yang nutrition.
Chewing food thoroughly is also recommended to help preserve the spleen’s energy.
Chinese herbsKnown as adaptogens, many herbs used in TCM claim to help one’s body and mind adapt to stress. This helps restore normal immune system protection and communication. Some of the most often commonly used herbs for this purpose include:
For example, instead of eating while watching TV and checking your email on your phone, it’s recommended that you just eat and enjoy your food.
How is qi deficiency diagnosed?A TCM practitioner will typically take a detailed medical history and conduct a physical examination to identify the pattern of disharmony. Particular attention is often given to the tongue in TCM. The tongue is believed to be a strong indication of a person’s harmony or disharmony.
A pale tongue may indicate a qi deficiency. Once the pattern and source of disharmony have been identified, your practitioner will develop a course of treatment.
Can fixing my qi deficiency cure my condition?It’s difficult to determine the effectiveness of treatment, as there are limited studies on the subject.
Anecdotally, many people have seen symptoms improve. Conditions like infertility and digestive problems eased after treatment for their qi deficiency.
Some studies have shown balancing qi energy may suppress cancer cell growthTrusted Source. Others have shown it to improve the survival rate of cancer patients and ease symptoms such as pain, fatigue, and nausea.
However, it’s important to discuss the research behind conventional medical treatments with your doctor. There’s much more evidence to draw from.
What is Chi, and what is it for?
“Chi/Qi/Ki” can be described as Universal Energy, vital life force energy or simply energy.
Everything in creation is made up of energy vibrating at different frequencies. In living beings, energy flows not only from physical nourishment, but through the body in pathways known as meridians and in energy centres called chakras. Chi, (Qi or Ki) is the energy of life itself, a balance of Yin and Yang, positive and negative, electromagnetic energy which flows through everything in creation. So Chi can possibly be described as an electromagnetic phenomenon, as a form of light energy, as a form of bio-electromagnetic energy or electricity.
Chi Kung (Qigong) means “energy work”, or ”energy cultivation”. In order to become physically strengthened, emotionally connected, mentally focused, spiritually aligned and energetically vitalized – there is work to be done! Physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and energetic work, that will enable us to grow and to manifest a vital physical body, a pure loving heart and an open creative mind.
To become a joyous healthy and happy human being we need to become a dynamic and harmonious mixture of all the aspects of chi.
Chi is in a state of continuous flux, transforming endlessly from one aspect of chi into another. It is neither created nor is it ever destroyed, it simply changes in its manifestation.
Chi Kung practitioners have identified many kinds of chi.
In our body there is the chi that we inherited and are born with, this is our original chi, essence chi or jing chi. It is the fundamental chi of the human body, the root source of metabolism.
Its true home is the lower dan tien.
The two most fundamental forms of chi are Yin chi and Yang chi, the primordial feminine and masculine energies.
Our Chi Kung practices emphasize the connection to and use of Heaven chi and Earth chi, as well as the chi that which emanates from Nature, specifically from trees, rivers, oceans, lakes and mountains.
Heaven Chi is taken in in the breath.
Earth chi is absorbed from food, water, air and chi kung/qigong practice may be called post-natal chi.
The body’s true chi or total energy is the combination of prenatal original chi and postnatal chi.
We can cultivate purified chi in the
middle dantian.
The heart channel promotes the circulation of chi and blood and surfaces in the throat to support the breath and the voice.
The chi that flows at the surface of the body and protects us is termed protective chi.
Internal organs have spleen chi, lung chi, kidney chi, heart chi, stomach chi etc.
For example Lung chi descends and Liver chi ascends, so they balance one another. If you get angry, Liver chi ascends and you may feel this as tension in your shoulders and neck, the tightening of your jaw and facial muscles, the constriction in your chest and the desire to argue and shout. By letting it out constructively, by the use of healing sounds or calming yourself down by deep breathing, you can encourage your Lung chi to descend harmonizing and calming it all down.
Harmonious, balanced and free-flowing chi results in health while stagnant, blocked or imbalanced chi leads to disease.
By nurturing energy through various chi kung and meridian stretching techniques, gentle movements, breathing exercises and meditation, the chi can be cultivated and harnessed for our benefit.
Chi Kung/Qigong, combines meditative focused breathing techniques, movement, visualization and intention to promote health, healing, harmony, wellness and a sense of inner joy. The practice of skilful Yoga, Chi Kung, Tai Chi, Healing Sounds and Meditative Techniques all help to cultivate and purify chi energy. This enables us to build strong foundations, root stability and support for ourselves which, in turn, will then enable us to more easily cultivate and hold chi energy, so that ultimately, we will become a powerful conduit for Spiritual Light.
These ancient Yogic and Taoist techniques are the Art and Science of Living. Through practice we can become physically energized, emotionally connected, mentally focused and spiritually aligned. We can learn to recognize, reduce and manage stress; with naturally occurring positive side effects of improved self-belief, confidence, self-esteem, self-discipline and personal well-being.
Ultimately, we can learn how to be Happy (no matter what), how to cultivate Inner Joy and how to cultivate Personal Resilience.
Tai Chi, Chi Kung (Qigong), Healing Sounds, Meditation and Yoga are wholesome disciplines for perfect harmony in life, wherein lies all our joy, happiness, health, abundance, compassion and love.
They are wonderfully powerful tools for living radiantly in this world yet have a much higher purpose, they can really assist us to bridge the gap between heaven and earth.
With practice, we can transform our lives forever, develop a strong healthy physical body, harmonious positive emotions, a pure loving heart and an open creative mind, as well as cultivating an unbreakably strong connection to our Higher Self, Divine Love and Universal Energy.
