GLOSSARY OF BODYWORK & ENERGY HEALING MODALITIES
ACUPUNCTURE: Traditional Chinese healing technique based on Taoist philosophy. It can be administered by using needles, low-voltage electric current (electro acupuncture), or pinpoint massage (acupressure). Acupuncturists strive to encourage proper circulation of energy, called qi (pronounced {chee}) by inserting very fine needles into acupoints on the body`s surface in order to influence physiological function of the body. Good health is the result of balanced, freely-flowing qi, while illness results from sluggish, blocked, or over-stimulated qi. As internal harmony is achieved, the body`s natural ability to heal itself, relieve pain and stress, and improve internal regulatory systems is engaged.
