In Traditional Chinese Medicine, when the Qi energy (pronounced Chi) in the 12 meridians is flowing freely around the body then the person is in a natural state of good health. When a trauma or upset occurs on the spiritual, mental, emotional or physical level, the energy can become blocked or stagnant. This manifests itself as a physical illness. Healing meditation uses a simple combination of breathing exercises and visualisation to clear away blockages and enliven stagnant energy on the spiritual, mental and emotional levels. As such, it is a useful way to return the whole person to good health.
