Acupuncture is an ancient healing system. Acupuncture originated with the discovery that specific areas of the skin were directly correlated to the organs of the body. In time, the connection between the skin and the organs became further understood and more exact ways of stimulation were formulated. It is a technique used to promote the body’s natural healing. In order for this to occur, needles, heat, or electrical stimulation are used on certain acupuncture points. We are the best acupuncture and holistic healing center in Hollywood, Florida.

Yoga is a great way to work on your flexibility and strength. Anyone can do yoga. It’s not just for people who have a lot of flexibility, although that helps. Some types of yoga are about relaxation. In other types, movement is involved. Most types focus on learning poses, often termed asanas. Some even bring attention to your breathing.
Yoga originates from the Sanskrit word “yuji,” meaning yoke or union. Yoga is an ancient practice that unites both the mind and body. It incorporates breathing exercises, meditation and poses designed to encourage relaxation and reduce stress simultaneously. Practicing yoga has many benefits for both mental and physical health.
Meditation is the process of quieting the mind for the purpose of relaxing or spending time in careful thought. The goal of meditation is to attain a higher state of awareness and deepen spiritual growth. In practice, meditation may involve concentrating by the use of sound (saying a mantra), visual imagery, or feeling the breath moving in the body.
Meditation can allow you to experience a sense of relaxation, balance, peace and calm that benefits both your wellbeing and overall health. It is important to note that these benefits don’t end when your meditation session is over. Meditation can help carry you throughout your day with more calm and balance. It has the ability to help you manage symptoms of many different conditions.
When you meditate, you are clearing the mind of information overload that is causing you to be stressed.
The emotional benefits of meditation includes the following below:
Qigong is Chinese system of exercise that combines meditative and physically active elements. Qigong exercises are designed to help preserve the Jing, strengthen and balance the flow of Qi energy, and also enlighten the Shen.
There are many dynamic exercises and meditations that contain Yin and Yang aspects (positive and negative energy). Yin qigong exercises are done through relaxed stretching, visualization, in addition to breathing. Yang qigong exercises are done in a more aerobic way. They are extremely effective for supporting the immune system. In China, Qigong is used frequently for people with cancer.
Qigong’s physical and spiritual routines move Qi energy through the Twelve Primary Channels and Eight Extra Channels, balancing it, smoothing the flow, and strengthening it. Chinese medicine uses Qigong exercises to maintain health, prevent illness, and increase longevity because it is an incredibly useful tool for maintaining and restoring harmony to the organ systems, essential substances, and channels. Qigong is also used for other purposes, such as pursuing enlightenment. The amazing thing about Qigong is that anyone can do it, no matter what age they are or any physical condition they may have. You don’t have to be an athlete to pursue the health benefits of Qigong.
When you are creating your qigong exercise and/or meditation practice, it is best to choose what suits you. We each have inherited imbalances that we cannot control but with which we must work. That’s why for some people it is easier to achieve balance and strength than it is for others. Nevertheless, Qigong can help you become the most balanced you wish to be.
Qigong is truly a system for a lifetime as opposed to one time. This accounts for why so many people over the age of sixty in China practice Qigong and Tai Chi. The effects are evident but the routines themselves are usually very gentle.
Receiving a cancer diagnosis and undergoing treatment can have an understandable impact on a patient’s mental well-being and overall health. Having someone tell you that you have cancer deeply affects a person. This may result in feelings of depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.

You will begin by meeting with one of our professionals who has a wealth of experience with people undergoing cancer treatment. They will ask you questions about your diagnosis, treatment, current state of mind, and any concerns you may have up to this point. Your psychiatrist or psychologist can use this information along with the treatment plan to address your needs and goals.
