5 Animal Qi Gong Series starts August 12th 2020 with Rev. Marie Regis, L.Ac.

This system can support the immune system, and help us be more grounded, calm and serene; it also will build muscle strength and flexibility, and improve balance. The movements, hand positions and sounds reflect the qualities of each animal. We‘ll experience the strength of the bear, the ferocity of the tiger, the suppleness of the deer, the agility of the monkey, and the elusiveness of the crane. This ancient exercise is attributed to Hua To, a famous Chinese physician from the Han Dynasty (3rd century A.D.). Marie learned this practice from MasterJeffrey Yuen, an 88th generation Taoist Priest Marie has been studying with for over 16 years.

WHEN: Six consecutive Wednesdays from 10-11:15 AM starting August 12th

WHERE: On Zoom

FEE: $90 for the series

Inner Wisdom Meditation Series: July 9th- 30th

With Rev. Marie Regis, L.Ac.

In this time of uncertainty, many of us are experiencing anxiety, frustration, restlessness and/or fear. We are invited to examine what we value most, and what we want to create moving forward. Resisting change is not a good option, with the sea of change that is occurring in our work, home and community. 

So we are left with the questions:

What gives meaning to my life now?

What am I hoping for?

What do I want to change or release?

THE ANWERS LIE WITHIN:

We all have access to an Inner Guidance system which we can use as a resource to illuminate our path. As we calm our mind and ask a question, we can see what is possible and how to move forward. After the group meditation, each participant will have the opportunity to share their experience if they so choose.

WHEN: Four consecutive Wednesdays, starting July 9th from 7:30-9:00 pm

WHERE: On ZOOM

FEE: $80 for all four sessions or $25 per session, payable to Marie Regis via Paypal

TO SIGN UP: Please email me at marie@marieregisacupuncture.com, and I will send you the Paypal link along with the Zoom link.

Rev. Marie Regis. M.S., L.Ac. has studied clinical meditation and imagery with Richard and Bonnie Schaub, founders of the Huntington Meditation and Imagery Center. She is a student of Master Jeffrey Yuen for over 15 years. Master Yuen is an 88th generation Daoist Priest, and an internationally renowned scholar in Classical Chinese Medicine. Marie has been practicing and teaching various forms of Meditation and Qi gong
for over 25 years

Virtual Health Consultations offered in response to the current pandemic

Every acupuncture session begins with a health consultation, where we discuss progress and new issues that come up for the client. Even mild symptoms can be very significant diagnostically, as they inform us of the underlying pattern of disharmony to be addressed. This is followed by a clinical observation of your symptoms, some of which can be detected visually via zoom, and diagnosis of the problem. At this very special time, if in person treatment is not possible, I am offering Lifestyle Counseling and Self Care recommendations to lower stress, regulate your physiology and enhance your immune system. This can include:

  • ACUPRESSURE: alone or combined with essential oils application on points
  • ESSENTIAL OIL recommendations for diffusing
  • EXERCISE: including specific Qi Gong and breathing practices to regulate the energy system
  • GUIDED MEDITATIONS AND EXPLORATIONS
  • DIETARY AND HERBAL RECOMMENDATIONS
  • LIFESTYLE COUNSELING
  • DISTANCE REIKI

The quickest way to reach me is by calling 516-455-2206. You can also reach me via email at mregis51@gmail.com

Recovering from Parkinson’s

By Marie Regis, L.Ac.

As with any chronic degenerative disease, a diagnosis of Parkinson’s is a life-changing event. Shock, disbelief, fear or anger can set in- understandably!. The medical prognosis is not good, and treatments available with conventional medicine are palliative and do not provide a cure.

As a practitioner of Classical Chinese medicine, I believe there is no incurable disease, only incurable people. There are people who have recovered from stage four cancer, for reasons that are not yet explained by modern science and lived for years without recurrence. (Read “Radical Remission, the Nine Key Factors That Can Make a Real Difference, by Kelly A. Turner, PhD. ) Yet culturally we have come to expect these healings are impossible.

People who have recovered from Parkinson’s have committed to a comprehensive lifestyle change, which may include: dietary changes, meditation, Qi gong, Acupuncture and Chinese medicine, and a commitment to changing detrimental and stressful beliefs and attitudes. Chinese medicine tells us that all chronic disease starts with a chronic emotional/spiritual imbalance. This leads to inflammation, weakness in certain organ systems, leading to loss of function in the neurological and hormonal systems.

Howard Shifke’s book “Fighting Parkinson’s and Winning” is based on his own recovery from Parkinson’s. It is a must read from anyone who has had this diagnosis or anyone with a family history of this disease.
