What do you do, does it have a name?
I call my distance energy work Emotional and Spiritual Renewal

What is Emotional and Spiritual Renewal?
Emotional and Spiritual Renewal is a name I have given to specific type of energy work. Using an ancient form of Chinese medicine called qigong, I locate, define and remove emotional and spiritual blockages that have become lodged within your physical and energetic frame work.

What is Qigong?
Qigong is a Chinese meditative practice that can be used for health, healing, spiritual and martial practices. It can be practiced on the self as personal exercise or on another as a healing method.

What is Remote Qigong?
Remote Qigong is delivering qigong treatments from a distance rather than on location.


How do I become Emotionally and Spiritually Blocked?
Emotional blockages and spiritual blockages are two different, although often related, things. Emotional blockages can be best defined as emotional debris. Emotional debris is what is left over after an emotional experience has not been fully processed. It could have been something minor like a disapproving look from a parent or something as scarring as ritualistic abuse. The thing that makes it an emotional block is not the severity of the initial experience, but the resulting emotions that were never fully processed and therefore reappear in our lives as out-of-context responses to things in our daily life. If you ever wonder why you feel fear or anxiety for no reason or get angry at a harmless comment, it may be because you are still unable to get rid of that unprocessed emotional debris that has built up in your lifetime. 

Spiritual blockages are different in that they usually involve the spiritual energy of another person being hooked into your own energy system. There is often an emotional component as well as the addition of the other person's energy being attached to you. These attachments can have the effect of draining your energy and causing emotional and even physical disturbances


How do you remove Emotional and Spiritual blockages?
I use an ancient form of healing meditation called qigong (pronounced chee gong). Qigong is usually thought of as an exercise like Taichi, but it can also be used to help others. 

During the session I enter into a qigong meditative state where I am able to locate and identify emotional and spiritual blockages. Once the blockages are located we discuss them briefly; then if agreed, we begin the process of clearing them. Clearing is done using specific qigong methods.
What does it feel like?
Recieving a a qigong treatment will feel different to different people. Most people have a sense that something is going on during the session. You may feel tingling or pressure. Often various emotions manifest spontaneously during the treatment. The most common feeling after a session is a sensation of lightness as if a burden has been lifted.

How does it work?
While in a meditative state I am able to adjust my own vibrations so I can become aware of subtle blockages in your energy system. Once the blockages are identified, I can then modulate the vibrations to remove the blockages. Have you ever had jewelry cleaned? Jewelry can become engrained with all kinds of debris that is difficult to remove no matter how hard you try, but if you put the jewelry into a solution in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner it simply vibrates the attached debris off the jewel. You are like a jewel that will shine forth even brighter once the debris is cleared away.

How many sessions will I need?
There are no two people or two conditions that are exactly the same. Each person has to be considered individually. For some, one clearing will be just what is needed to get up and running at full speed again, sort of like restarting your computer. For others, deep and important issues can be dealt with over a course of treatments.

Once a blockage is cleared is it gone forever?
Yes and no. Emotional blockages will stay cleared unless you put them back through your own actions! So, sometimes emotional blockages will be gone forever. Other times we need to train ourselves not to keep doing the same old things we have always done, the things that got us into the mess in the first place. In the latter case it may take a few sessions before they stay gone. It's like fixing a broken arm. It will stay fixed unless you fall the same way again. With our emotions, it is easy to fall back into the same pattern again and again. The difference is that once the pattern is cleared it becomes easier and easier not to fall back into the same pattern again, but to actually make the changes you have always wanted to make. 

The clearing of spiritual blockages is more robust, but they can still come back if either you invite the attachment to return through your own will or if the person who was removed is committed to maintaining that attachment. Once spiritual blockage has been removed initially, it is usually easier to remove the second time and normally it will give up the attachment.

Where are you located?
I travel and teach around the world, but I can treat you in the convenience of your own home or office with my method.
Are you saying that you will visit me anywhere in the world?
Yes. I work remotely which means I can treat people from any distance. Physical presence is not necessary; In fact it's no help at all. The work is exactly the same whether you are six inches away or six thousand miles away!

How does a session go?
We contact via telephone or internet at an agreed upon time. You will be in a comfortable environment free of distractions. Once we are in contact you can ask questions or tell me anything you like. Within a few minutes we will begin the work. During the session you are free to ask questions or discuss anything that you may be feeling or anything at all for that matter. Sometimes I will ask for silence during more challenging parts of the session. I will always tell you what I find as it becomes defined in my own mind. Sometimes I will ask you to speak the first name of some individual who may be intertwined with your energy. This will help me to resolve the issue. Occasionally I will ask you questions based on what I find. Most people will be able to feel the changes within their own body during the sessions.

How long do sessions last?
I book 30 minute, One hour, and Two hour sessions. I usually call within 1-2 minutes of the appointed time and we work for the full duration. Because I always endeavor to be on time for my next client each call ll be completed within the allotted time. 

I'm Religious. Is it OK for me to do this kind of thing?
I have worked with people of many different faiths including chaplains, ordained ministers, rabbis and buddhist monks. To choose to benefit from my work is a personal and private decision for each individual to make.

I am a very private person. Is this confidential?
Yes. I will not share your information with anyone in any way. In fact, if you choose, you may remain competely anonymous.

Do I have to believe in it for it to work?
Chances are you won't have read this far if you don't believe in your own spirituality!
