5 Element Medical Qigong

What Is It?

The Five Element Medical Qigong is based on the wisdom of Five Element Theory. Each element: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood represent a myriad of relationships which in turn, are represented through the Three Treasures of Body, Breath and Mind/Spirit. This class is a physical exploration of the elements through movement, breath and intention.

The form focuses on the Yin meridians which are governed by each of the Elements. The Yin meridians are Heart & Pericardium, Spleen/Pancreas, Lungs, Kidneys and Liver. Each movement in this set addresses a single Yin organ and it’s corresponding meridian, making the entire set a powerful exercise to address health concerns for any of these Yin organs, or their related Yang organs.

This Qigong works to stretch and create movement within the organ and meridians to remove stagnation, promote the healthy flow of Qi, and create balance within the entire system. This form is easy to learn, but requires a lifetime to master and gives great therapeutic benefits to its practitioner in increased vitality, sense of well being, and overall a better state of health.
