Longevitology: For the body to be healthy, chi (energy) must be able to flow freely. Illnesses are a result when the natural flow of chi is weakened and/or obstructed. Illnesses and diseases can be cured by practicing Longevitology. Longevitology is a natural and therapeutic healing modality that uses the energy surrounding us (Universal Energy). Longevitology involves the relaxation of the mind and body to facilitate the channeling of energy in a natural way. This is achieved through meditative sitting in a comfortable position, and calming of the heart and mind. Energy that is channeled through the body energizes cells to enable self-repair and healing of tissues and organs, and restores the normal flow of chi. Longevitology can also be practiced in disease-free states to promote general wellness through improving circulation, metabolism, and immunological function. There are no associated side effects and can be practiced by anyone.
