Buqi is an energy healing treatment system that has been developed from Chinese medicine and uses techniques that were almost lost. The system is based on the theory that disease is caused by the build-up of pathogenic factors and toxic by-products. These pathogenic factors, known as Binqi, accumulate in the body, in particular in the inter-vertebral spaces, joints and organs. Negative emotions, such as stress, anger, fear and sadness, are another type of Binqi.
These emotions can affect the body's biochemistry. The accumulation of Binqi leads to blockages in organs, joints and the energy channels. The resulting dysfunction leads to impaired body fluid circulation (blood, lymph, intercellular and cerebrospinal fluid) and stagnation of energy flow. Thus we can become vulnerable to disease.
At the heart of a Buqi treatment is the healing force of the Dantian, an energy centre located in the lower abdomen. The dantian, when activated, can generate a strong internal force and it is this force that every Buqi practitioner must first learn to find and develop. During a Buqi treatment the practitioner activates their own energy system, creates an energy field around the patient, and then directs binqi out of the patient's body.
Buqi does not normally involve touch, and one may work a few inches or even feet away from the patient. Through exercise, the practitioner will develop the ability to direct energy by combining the use of mental force, breathing and dantian force. This not only clears the patient's energy system, but can also subtly re-align body posture.
Posture is realigned using spontaneous movement; this is a natural phenomenon that happens constantly without us being aware
