The Energy Pillar
Replenishing your personal Energy reserves allow you to thrive through the highs and lows of life. It instils a sense of inspiration and lightness, making you feel wonderfully free. Regularly renewing your Energy also reduces feelings of stress, anxiety and negativity.
The first three Pillars feed the Energy Pillar. When you have a peaceful Mind, healthy Skin and a nourished Microbiome, you feel naturally revitalised and uplifted. Additionally, the Energy Pillar can be strengthened through several treatments, therapies and exercises – all of which can be explored at our wellbeing island.
Optimising Qi
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Qi is the vital energy, the life force, that flows through our bodies. Imbalances or interruptions in this flow can cause a variety of ailments.
A skilled TCM practitioner is able to detect Qi blockages by palpating the radial pulses, observing the tongue, asking specific questions, and (if required) conducting a more thorough physical examination. The practitioner can then address your symptoms and areas of affliction, working over the energetic meridians to bring your Qi back into balance.
Here at JOALI BEING, our resident TCM practitioner can also evaluate whether there are any other medical conditions that may be depleting your energy levels, e.g. anaemia, hypothyroidism, or increased blood pressure. Guests may then be referred to one of our other medical practitioners, if needed.
Balancing Yin & Yang
Yin (feminine and restorative) and Yang (masculine and energetic) are two complementary forces in the body that are constantly in flux. If either one becomes unbalanced, it can lead to illness and suffering.
Bring your Yin and Yang into balance through the rhythmic, sequenced movements of Qi Gong or Tai Chi. Both forms of movement are simple and gentle yet highly effective – especially for neurological conditions. Suitable for all age-groups and genders.
TCM Therapies
The ancient practice of dry cupping may be used to relieve physical pain. Suction cups are placed on the affected area for up to half an hour, then removed. Please be aware that this may cause red circular marks to appear on the skin – these are temporary and should disappear within a couple of days, depending on the amount of inflammation.
Another TCM pain therapy is indirect moxibustion. A herb called moxa or mugwort are rolled into a stick and lit, then the gentle heat is applied over the affected area. Warming the meridian channel helps to relieve arthritic, muscular and menstrual pain, along with promoting calmness and increasing energy levels.
If you’re seeking a relaxing massage that also balances your energy, Tuina could be the answer. This therapeutic form of bodywork involves a series of specialised techniques to relieve physical and energetic blocks. This massage can be performed with your clothes on.
Also worth exploring is Guisha, a “scraping” technique that may be used on the face or any other part of the body to ease pain and aid in relaxation. Please be aware that Guisha could cause reddening, caused by the process of eliminating toxins.
Joy of Movement
Renew and sustain Energy by making time for self-care, restoration and recovery, even during fast-paced periods. Building a regular exercise routine is the best route to a healthy mind and body.
Guests at JOALI BEING can experience different forms of movement at CORE, an innovative fitness zone, such as; aerobics, yoga, Tai Chi, HIIT, Pilates, martial arts, and so on.
