Image Therapy or Image Medicine is the healing modality that naturally arises from the practice of ZY Qigong. It is more than just an energetic healing technique; it is a simple yet highly effective holistic system of identifying subtle energy patterns, imbalances and blockages within the client which provides the information necessary to change those patterns. It is especially effective with such ailments as kidney stones, spinal hernias, asthma, etc. and stress related diseases, ailments and conditions for which Western Medicine describes as ‘undiagnosed’ or ‘currently no known treatment for’ such as IBS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain and many more. The healer scans a client with their hands, body and developed Upper Dantian (Third Eye) and then uses their developed Qi to ‘jump-start’ weakened or dormant energy systems, awakening and opening Qi centers and channels in order to re-establish the innate balancing and healing mechanisms. It is easily incorporated into other healing techniques and modalities both Mainstream and Alternative/Complementary.
