Chinese Energetic Medicine aka Medical Qigong Therapy
​ and Cupping Therapy with Dr Amba


About Me:
When my mother died in 1996, I went in to a deep depression. There was nothing worse that I could feel, I remember thinking back then. Later that year my husband and I  experienced the loss of our child with a miscarriage.  Then I fell into a deep despair. No anti depression medications or therapy could help me come out of it.  It was only through deep personal and spiritual work with Medical Qigong Therapy and prescription "meditations" and "conscious qigong tools" did I come back to my self in balance and power and then with my purpose in life. As a Doctor of Chinese Energetic Medicine aka Medical Qigong Therapy - I have been grateful to be able to share the gifts of this modality and its tools with others.

I have blessed to have helped many on their journey through cancer, mental health issues, pain management, fertility and more. My motto is EVERY CHALLENGE IS A GIFT TO GROW AND EVOLVE.

​Amba Has the Healing Touch
​Amba has the healing touch. The combination of her skills is truly an experience like no other. Amba has something people can only be born with-the innate intuition of what needs working on and how to heal it. Coming from someone such as myself, those of us who have sought alternative health in all forms, know when this is someone to recommend highly to others. It is an experience like 
no other.

​I Felt Enlightened and On Top of the World
​Dr. Amba Ann Dryg, DMQ is quite possibly one of the most intuitive and knowledgeable health practitioners I've ever met in my life. The psychological, physical and mental healing that she facilitated has transformed me.

She is not only an attentive and caring listener, she specifically tailored the treatment she gave to my personal needs, life circumstances and personal history. She cleared blocked energy that I had stuck in my abdomen and womb area, healing me of relationship addiction and delusion, and helping me let go of past traumatic experiences.

I felt enlightened and on top of the world each time I walked out of Amba's office, and she gave me practical exercises and tools to work with in between medical sessions. I truly thank Amba for helping me heal and to move forward with my life without anxiety, with a deeper knowledge of myself and an authority over my own decisions. S.C.  Dayna Point, Ca
​Instrumental in my Healing Journey
Dear Amba,

Thank you so much! I wish I had recorded our conversation, so much beautiful, inspiring, healing, and empowering wisdom you shared!
We've come so far and you've been instrumental in my healing journey.

You really help me to shift such deeply rooted emotional/mind patterns and belief systems in ways that are positively changing my whole life and reality.

​From UCSF Hospital Room
Dr. Amba Dryg, Qigong Medicine Doctor, visited my daughter at University of California San Francisco.  She was near death.
Dr. Dryg said that she would work to establish balance in my daughter's physical, mental, and emotional body to allow healing.
​1 week after the session, my daughter was released from ICU. Four days after that she was walking. The staff at UCSF was amazed at my daughter's rapid improvement. I am so grateful to have met and experienced Dr. Dryg and witnessed this very powerful modality.

Healing PTSD and Depression
​Working with Amba has improved my life, my health, and my well being tremendously. Having her support and guidance has helped me to make huge leaps on my healing journey. Since seeing her my depression has vastly decreased. The frequency of my PTSD has decreased. I have felt more stable and calm. I was able to overcome some financial difficulties. And best of all, I now have the strength to begin to make some major positive changes in my life that have been a long time coming. I highly recommend working with her. She has a wonderful blend of professionalism, compassion, intuition, and skill. May all beings on a healing path have someone like her in their corner!

Long Distance Healing
​I so appreciate what Dr. Amba does for me. I had two very serious accidents resulting in concussions with the result that I was in bed for over a year with achingly painful headaches. Since Dr. Amba has been working on me, the headaches are no longer totally debilitating.
Dr. Amba is doing for me what no other medical personnel were able to do. She treats my whole body, asking the kinds of questions that will illuminate for her, and myself, the issues I'm facing. My life is very different now, after three months of working with her. She gives me exercises I can do between sessions to augment the healing. I'm grateful for her knowledge, her search for better ways to help me, her compassion, and her willingness to be available should I need her.

~ S.T.- Aptos, CA 
Reducing Stress and Pain
​(After four long distance sessions ) I have almost no headaches. It's quite a difference. I do believe that your work on the headaches has been successful. That is an amazing feat! I would like to understand more about what you do, and how you came to do it.  You've had a huge effect on the path of my healing.
~ S.T., Aptos, CA
I Feel Lighter
(After one of six long-distance sessions) Thank you again so much!
I feel so much lighter, integrated, relaxed, and in my power.

The first thing I noticed was my left hip twitching a bit, and then my left side began to feel more open. Then I could really feel my left foot opening and having energy run through it. Then I felt my heart open. I kind of lost track, then the next thing I remember is feeling sensation in my root, and feeling my root chakra clearing and opening. And towards what I think was the end I felt my throat chakra opening, energy coming up and out of it, and I coughed a bit.

It was really powerful to have you do that inquiry with me.

Testimonial by Terri Moon for 5 YOU DIG -Six Week Program :

"I thought three hours, that's so much How can I do that. And,  it was that it would be really intense. But it wasn't, it was like we took a break in the morning and got some food for breakfast. And it was during the class, we did the same thing like an hour later, you know, and then we take a nap basically, because we lay down and let you work on us at a distance. And I loved the healings that you know, it was a group healing, but it felt like I was getting a one on one session with you. And those healings really powerful. Even though you know, we weren't in the same room. And even though you weren't touching me, it was a very powerful healing session. And so I would I would do it just for that.

And,  it's not an intense experience, because we have these breaks. And there's different pieces to it. So there's the learning the intellectual part, and then there's the receiving the healing. And then there's also the doing of the exercises in the middle, which puts a lot of movement in there. So it's not like you're sitting for three hours at a computer, it's  only really about 20 minutes, probably right of that three hours, that you're actually just sitting ,  the rest of your moving or laying down and receiving. So very powerful.

And also community building to there was a community building feature to it, where people were sharing what was going on with them. And, and we would have some homework assignments as well to do our own healing outside of that, so it's very much for people who want to do it themselves with the healing, I would say yeah, they would really enjoy it. Because they are able to learn exercises that can they can take into their life. And they can do anytime. And you provide the recordings if we want to do it along with you with the instruction. So that's been that was a really informative growth, full healing experience to do that. That's why I did it twice rather than once. And we just finished the second one, I guess you're waiting till the next transition of seasons before you do it again, because you do it every time there's a transition of seasons, right. And now we're in the dead of winter. So as soon as we start transitioning into spring, that's when your class is going to start again?"   ( yes, we do it 6 weeks before and during the Season transitions because Transitions are very powerful)

KAN LI MEDITATION

Kan & Li Meditation is an important spiritual and physically effective health meditation practice. Kan and Li is about a unity of pure elements of fire and water, a unity of true Yin and Yang both within ourselves and in the universe. This helps create bone density so it is particularly helpful for those of us getting older as we lose bone density. It also helps focus and helps the brain stay organized, less confused, helps students retain information, and generally helps the mind stay clear. It also aids the heart remember how to feel joy and the kidneys maintain our self confidence and wisdom. Any time a person has surgery on broken or injured bones or joints- or any issues with pain in these areas— it is important to do this meditation as often as possible. In Chinese medicine it is said to help the communication between the Heart and the Kidneys which are the fire and water elements. There are many advantages to this meditation and is good for those with Liver Qi Stagnation which is one of the most common disharmonies in American society. There is too much to say about the good that comes from this meditation and why one should do it. I have made it very simple on this page. It can be more complex. Try to do at least 3 times a day for 3 to 20 minutes depending on how well you can focus. It gets easier as you do it more. And can be done in public or at home sitting, standing or laying down. 
​Kan Li Meditation
Heart Fire and Kidney water coming together to make a Divine mist
 
Intention: That bones, brain, sea of marrow are all nourished and strengthened.  Creating more bone density, more marrow for fighting disease, stronger brain power for focusing and clearer thinking.

Attention: Really focus the fire descending and the water ascending and together focus on the Mist they create that spreads all over the body.

Imagination: See as you INHALE the heart fire, what does it look like?  Orange and blues in the flames - imagine it descending with each inhale and see the water line at kidney – it is blue and clear as it rises up and meets with the fire at the solar plexus.  Visualize as your hands come together as you EXHALE and spread your hands out - the Divine White/blueish mist is spreading all over the body to the bones and brain - as they all light up with that exhale.
 
Sense: Really feel that hot fire descend, and that cool water ascend - as your hands move on the inhale - and when they meet they become perfect slightly cool or warm – ( cool for cancer patients - warm for non cancer patients) temperature of a mist that spreads to the bones, marrow inside bones, and brain … also nourishing all the joints and sockets creating more ease with movement in hips, shoulders, knees, neck and wrists.  Feel the bones and brain and all mentioned lighting up like a glow in the dark skeleton.  Really feel the power of the Heart fire and Kidney water doing their job - giving your mind clarity removing any foggy thinking and creating focused grounded mind. Also helps with reducing Anxiety and Stress.
 
1 INHALE hands together from below the neck and above the abdomen- fire and water coming together at the solar plexus
2. EXHALE the Divine healing mist created by fire and water – hands spread out as mist covers all the bones and brain – as the mist nourishes the bones and brain become a white/electric bluish color - like turning on a light or glow in the dark skeleton.  
 
Repeat this for five to ten to 20 minutes as your are able.
