# Acupuncture- Chinese medical traditions believe that health and wellbeing comes from the individual's harmony within their environment, and this harmony flows as an energy system throughout the body, known as Chi.

When the flow of Chi is disrupted, the resulting blockage in the meridians causes illnesses in the body, and disharmony with the elements. The Chi follows energy lines called meridians, and these meridians flow throughout our body. When these are restricted, imbalances begin to occur on a cellular level, and when left untreated, result in disease.

Acupuncture has been developed to stimulate the flow of Chi so that the body may restore its lost vitality. After an initial consultation and assessment, fine sterile needles are inserted at points to release the flow of Chi, thereby improving health. Acupuncture is a safe, hands-on therapy which can be used at any age to promote longevity, immunity and lifestyle enhancement.

# Pranic Healing - Pranic Healing is Grand Master Choa Kok Sui's evolved system of energy medicine which is an advanced two-step process where the individual is scanned and cleansed.

The healer first 'scans,' your aura and assesses areas of energy depletion, congestion or stagnation to be cleansed. This helps identify problem areas that need healing. Following the scan, the healer manually cleanses or "sweeps" you, to remove blockages and stagnant energies before giving fresh energy to you.

Pranic Healing believes that cleansing is critical to the healing process because diseased energies and negative emotions first have to be removed, and only then the body should be energized.
