A Guide to Alternative Healing in Hong Kong
Sure, most of us like to keep healthy by eating right and exercising at our local gym but if you are one that wants that bit extra and if you’re looking for a different type of alternative healing to incorporate into your life, then these may be of interest.
1. THE YUEN METHOD
This method is named after Dr. Kam Yuen who has developed this Chinese Energetic Medicine healing. The Yuen Method, one of many energy psychology techniques, is a powerful non-touch technique blending anatomy, physiology, applied kinesiology, structural analysis, energetic technique, and quantum physics, to quickly locate and shift one’s imbalances and blocks on all levels and dimensions. It strengthens the mind against negative thoughts and emotions and outside influences. The technique relaxes the body so it can heal itself. It is also a tool of empowerment because it gives you the means to take healing into your own hands.

2. JAPANESE ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is gentle, natural and holistic in nature. After chatting with your practitioner about your concerns, you then relax on a soft table, listen to soothing music and enjoy the healing properties of a heated UV lamp while receiving your acupuncture treatment. Most people experience deep relaxation and calm during their treatments. Acupuncture can help with pain and also helps the body to get back into balance after an illness or trauma.

3. SOUND HEALING
The sound of a meditation gong induces a state of spontaneous meditation and relaxation, which facilitates the movement of chi or prana (positive life force) throughout the body. On a physical level, the vibrations eliminate tension, stimulate the circulation and glandular systems, and regenerate the parasympathetic nervous system. Listeners experience a sense of connectedness and peace. They are lulled from a Beta, or awake state, into a Theta, or lucid dream state; a state that allows our bodies to heal and rejuvenate. The sound waves gently clear blockages to restore inner harmony.
