Dejian Mind-body Intervention (DMBI) Medical Professions Training Workshops

By
Professor Agnes S. Chan

Introduction: Dejian Mind-body Intervention, was developed by Professor Agnes S. Chan, based upon the Shaolin Healing Concepts that was taught to her by Master Dejian. After some years of research and clinical practice, a series of studies have been conducted and some empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of this intervention has been reported. Empirical evidence and clinical observations suggested that this intervention has positive effect on improving the mood (reduce depressive mood and stress) and cognitive function (increase attention and memory). Clinical cases including depressive mood community-dwelling population, clinical patients with depression and anxiety, children with autistic spectrum disorder, adult and children with cancer were observed. This intervention is originated from China and may be more suitable for Chinese culture; this is also one of the few evidence-based interventions on Chinese population since the published research studies were conducted in Hong Kong.
