What is the energetic body?

This is an important, and simple in a difficult way, topic.

Vital energy, or qi, runs through the whole body. In fact, qi runs through all living things, connecting us all. The energetic body is affected not only through treatments like acupuncture and herbs, but our lifestyle, environment and emotions.

Qi in the body runs through pathways called meridians, or channels. In treatment, your practitioner will use various diagnostic tools (pulse, tongue, palpation, questioning) to determine where in the channels your qi is blocked. By unblocking and restoring proper flow to your energetic body, health is restored.
