ESTABLISHING A LIFETIME PROTOCOL FOR OPTIMUM HEALTH

Five Elements Medical Qigong is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In China when you’re treated by a traditional Chinese Medical Doctor they prescribe a series of exercises to maintain and improve mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health for a lifetime. These exercises are called medical qigong.

Qi means energy or life force. Gong means cultivation of life force energy. Qigong exercises mentally, internally, externally, emotionally, and spiritually protect you from illness and enhance your recovery from illness by strengthening your immune system and fortifying your resiliency!

Establishing a regular practice of Five Elements Medical Qigong reverses the loss of Qi and cultivates fresh Qi, which serves to protect and nourish us. These exercises produce Wei Qi, external Qi, which is like a bio-shield that protects us against intruders on the outside surface of our bodies, strengthening our immunity and resistance. They also produce Yin Qi, or internal Qi, which circulates and transports fluids and nutrients, flows inside meridians and connects organs, joints, and tissue. Practicing medical qigong causes Qi flow through the 12 main organ meridians, plus 8 extra meridians.

Five Elements Medical Qigong nourishes the three treasures, which are the essence to health and longevity:

Jing, essence, ‘the giver of life’, is the first treasure. It is the foundational energy for living. It’s the energy we receive at conception that’s meant to last a lifetime. It’s the root energy of the body that is responsible for procreation, physical energy, sexual energy, longevity and youthfulness.

Qi, Energy, ‘the breath of life’, is the second treasure. It is our day-to-day vitality. It comes from the air we breathe and the food we eat. Our lungs and digestive organs, spleen and stomach, play a critical role in building this treasure.

Shen, ‘the light of life’, is the third treasure. It is our higher self and our connection to the divine. Spirit (Shen) is housed in the heart. When the Shen is nourished and balanced, it provides us with feelings of peace, calm and serenity. It gives us proper perspective in our lives and our place in the universe.

Five elements Medical Qigong exercises can be done anywhere and require no special equipment. They are safe, effective and can be modified to meet the specific needs of participants with health and physical limitations. The combination of movements and mindful breathing meditations will help establish a solid healing foundation that will continue to get stronger with time and age.
