A friend of mine asked if I would do a remote Qigong healing treatment on her granddaughter.  Her granddaughter, who I will call Lizzie, was 10 years old and in the hospital. I didn't have many details at that time, except that she had been in the hospital due to experiencing a fall, and just wasn't getting better. I agreed to do a remote treatment to see if I could help.

During my early morning meditation, I sat on my couch with my eyes closed and could feel myself relax. I then felt a type of expansion, which let me know I could now project myself to my intended location and begin a remote healing treatment. My intended location was the Primary Children's Hospital in SLC, UT, and the person I needed to connect with was "Lizzie". To find Lizzie, I thought of my friend, her grandmother, and then from her grandmother's energy was able to find the thread to the locale of where Lizzie was in that hospital. 

I then felt myself walking toward the hospital room where Lizzie would be and saw a little 10 year old girl standing over her hospital bed. I said, "Hello, Lizzie. I’m a friend of your grandmother’s and she asked if I would come and give you a Qigong healing treatment."
 
“What’s that?” she asked. I then explained what Qigong was and how I would be working with her energy to help her heal.
 
“Your Grandma said it was OK, but I still need your permission before I can give you a treatment. Your permission will let me go into your energy layers to help you feel better” I told her.

“OK” she said, but still just stood there, looking over her body, which was laying in the bed.
 
“Lizzie, I will need you to go back inside your body so I can give you this treatment. That way, you can assist me and let me know what is helping," I said to her.
 
She then slipped back into her physical body and NOW, I could see her physical self. She was on a respirator, her eyes were closed, her head was wrapped in a white gauze. She was comatose, and this was the ICU! I had not expected this degree and intensity of illness, but began the treatment like any other treatment I would do in my clinic - I began with an assessment, using the "flat hand technique" and waving it across the body to "read" her energy. I began with her head and could now see and sense the swelling in her brain. I could also see that her head was wrapped in a gauze. In addition, I could also "see" she was on a respirator. These were the messages coming from her energetic body, then interacting with my palm, and me then reading what her energy was giving off.

I continued my flat palm assessment, working downward over her chest and saw she had a condition called spina bifida. This helped explain some of the reason for may of the complications I was sensing.

After my assessment, I put together my treatment plan and then initiated her Qigong medical treatment. I then worked on each organ system to either purge stuck energy, rebalance the energy, and/or nourish the organ systems energy. When I completed the treatment I told Lizzie I was done and asked her how she felt. She then shared something with me that gave me pause. She told me said she didn’t know if she wanted to live or not. She went on to explain that she was Mormon and girls are supposed to get married and have children - this belief was her life purpose. She then confided to me that she doubted she would ever get married and have children because of her spinal bifada, so what was the point in living?

I then told her, “Lizzie, I’m not married, and look at me – I am here with you right now and I don't even have my body with me! I am giving you a healing treatment and my body is back home in California sitting on a couch in a deep meditation. My energetic self is here with you and I am giving you a medical treatment. You could do something like this, too, because it does not require a perfect physical body. You could become a healer if you wanted."

She seemed to like that answer.  
 
Lizzie had been in a coma for 3 weeks, but then came out of her coma the next day. A day or so after that, she was taken off the respirator. Then she was moved out of Intensive Care. I believe that Lizzie decided she wanted to live. So she did. And the Qigong treatment helped give her the nudge and energy she needed to do this.

Medical Qigong is similar to a moving meditation where the practitioner is in a very quiet and focused state of mind and they focus their thoughts and intention to assess the Qi in the body, and then work on healing through changing, guiding, and directing the subtle energies in the body towards balance. Because this is a nonphysical methodology of healing, it is possible to do these types of healing remotely. This is often called distance healing.

I had never even heard of this type of healing until I "fell into it". I was creating a healing ball of subtle energy, called a Qi-ball, and was planning to send it to a friend who was ill. I had received permission from her that she would welcome a healing ball of energy. In my meditation, I created a Qi ball of healing energy. I then visualized sending it to my friend located in a different city. But the Qi-ball, instead of floating in the air, seemed to get stuck on my hands and it pulled me with it to my friend's bedside. I saw my friend, not with my physical eyes, but with my "energetic eyes". She was laying in her bed, struggling to breathe. This was so unexpected and at first I did not know what to do because I was standing over my friend, in her bedroom, in her house, while my physical body was back at my home, in a meditation. I then thought, since I'm here, I will  give her a Qigong treatment. So I did.

That was how I became acquainted with the concept of a remote Qigong healing treatment. Up until this point, I had never heard of this. But after this experience, I began conducting more remote Qigong treatments. This allowed me to treat  people from afar.

I was in a hospital gown, lying face up on a medical exam table.  I was alone in the room except for a desk and some medical supplies. This was my first time having acupuncture and I was a bit nervous, so I closed my eyes to help me try to relax. Deep breath in, now out. Breathe in, and out.

Having been trained in Western Medicine, I couldn’t believe I was now visiting an acupuncturist with the hope of getting my migraines cured. Western Medicine could only offer me pain pills and I was tired of that route. A friend recommended acupuncture and I acquiesced, and here I was, staring up at the ceiling waiting to be poked with needles.
But now there was a new sensation. I could feel and SEE what seemed like a thousand different people in the exam room with me. I was in the middle of what seemed like an operating room theater and everyone else was separated from me by a type of clear barrier. They were on different floors circling around my puny self on the bottom rung of this huge tall operating room theater.

The audience was all filled with excitement, as if this was a big event, and they were coming to witness something they had never seen before. The clinic door opened and in walked my new health care provider, Pat, an acupuncturist in Berkeley, California. I opened my eyes and now could see it really was just Pat physically in the room with me, and the thousands of others were not physical – they were ethereal, but I could still FEEL their presence and excitement.

“Are you ready?” Pat asked.

“Well, I’m not sure. There seems to be a lot of people here observing as if I’m the main attraction in an operating room theater,” I told her.

She didn’t seem surprised. She just said, “OK, wait a minute” and then left the room. A minute later, she returned and said “How is it now?”

“Much better,” I said. “There are now only a few here. I can deal with a few.”

“Sorry about that,” she said. “I usually ask for help before I start an acupuncture treatment.”

“Okay,” I said.  I didn’t know what else to say.  I guess this happens to everyone, is what I thought. She then began the Acupuncture treatment and I closed my eyes, and journeyed into a land of moving colors and communication with some of these nonphysical beings. It was one of the most incredible experiences I had ever experienced.

After about 45 minutes, the treatment ended. I left knowing that something very special had just happened and I had entered through a gateway to a new world. I wanted to know more about this, and also wanted to explore this new world.  Why could I see nonphysical beings and “hear” them? Why did I see so many colors during the treatment, and see so many images? I wanted answers to these questions, and to find those answers, I needed to learn more about Chinese Medicine. So I did. I applied to Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley, CA, and was accepted. I then began a new journey - Chinese Medicine.
