Circle of life
Yin and Yang movement and Qi flow can be described as a never ending circle of five transforming elements. In this, all phenomena of life are born and followed by each other like seasons spring- summer-late summer- autumn- winter and as there symbols wood-fire-earth-metal-water.
Energy of the phases:
MOVE – WOOD – In spring everything wakes up and starts to grow through warmth and light: a tree grows in length, a bud opens up to a blossom. Spring is full of dynamic ascendend energy. In human´s body this energy is responsible for smooth flow of Qi.
FOCUS – FIRE – Sun is at its height, radiates light and warmth. Flowers are most colorful and summer at its best, until heat burns the earth, grass and trees. In human´s body this energy regulates mental processes like memory, concentration, and sleep.
EAT – EARTH – Burned ashes turns to soil, concentrates energy in order to fruit and nourish everything. In human’s body this energy as “centre” regulates digestion and material metabolism.
BREATH – METALL – Metall concentrates in the depth of earth. In human´s body this energy regulates surface, breathing, resistance.
SLEEP – WATER – Water cools in winter, turns to drops ja transfers to ice. It hibernates in order to water nature for new growth. This in human´s body this energy is our energy reserve, foundation.
In our body Qi energy flows in 5 element areas in circle and in contact to each other. Through TCM (traditional chinese medicine) diagnosis the imbalance of the areas will be defined in order to be able to design the treatment.
