What are the 5 Elements?
The dynamic 5 Element Qigong system connects each animal form to a different internal organ and related meridian, healing and balancing the body's energy. Each animal represents one of the 5 Elements in Chinese medicine, offering unique benefits for your body, mind, and spirit.
The Five Element system (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) is the heart of Chinese medicine. Knowing it helps us to understand the characteristics of the body’s energy. All of our emotions and our organs’ energy systems correspond with a specific element.
Wood
- Body: Liver
- Anger / Forgiveness
Fire
- Body: Heart
- Excess desire / contentment
Earth
- Body: Spleen
- Worry and/or support
Metal
- Body: Lungs
- Sadness / happiness
Water
- Body: Kidney
- Fear / courage
Excessive, toxic emotions and lack of movement can harm these organ systems. The 5 Element Qigong teaches Qigong meditation and breathing techniques to transform toxic emotions coupled with healing movements for each organ system.
