Abstract
This article will discuss the vital role of body, mind, and spirit in the context of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the treatment of Post-concussion Syndrome (PCS) and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), as proven by practical evidence as a result of Aung Vital Energetic Alignment therapies. It will also discuss the role of the meridian and chakra systems, as well as means for utilizing these systems to improve patients’ quality of life in such contexts. In certain difficult cases, when acupuncture is not invoking a response in patients, other treatment modalities should be considered; namely, the treatment modality of Aung Vital Energetic Alignment. In this article, Dr. Aung describes how he discovered the role of treating the body, mind, and spirit as a practitioner and how firsthand experience in treating all aspects of personhood has resulted in his self-discovery of realignment therapies. This chapter discusses alternative treatment modalities for PCS and PTSD using Aung Vital Energetic Alignment acupuncture (i.e. AVEA protocol). It will also discuss natural forms of therapy, such as tree-hugging, which provides natural realignment, as well as the utilization of seven chakra phonation, concentration, meditation and Qi Gong exercises as a means for addressing PCS and PTSD. This chapter will also describe treatment modalities for addressing pediatric and neonatal malalignments via acu-touch treatments to ensure the well-being, intelligence and intuitional progression in infants for preventative purposes. Starting from infancy, correctly-aligned pediatric patients will mature influence society as individuals who display optimal intellectual and intuitive health, so as to be a positive and productive force in the universe.
