Module 3: EARTH

In the ancient Five Element Theory of Chinese medicine, there is a short window of time when the vibrant energies of spring/summer transition into the more introspective energies of the fall/winter. 

This special transitional period is represented by the Earth Element, which is one of balance, harmony and nourishment.

In this flow, the Qi Gong exercises incorporate the spleen +stomach energy system, and grounding earth energy in order to help us stay in harmony with nature’s rhythm.

This module includes:

1. QiFlow Teacher Training Manual

2. Series of  8 on-demand video lessons

•  lessons are an 8 series of seasonal QiGong, TaiChi+breath-work flows that correspond to the EARTH element (Five Element Theory )
• emotional attributes that correspond to the liver+gallbladder  systems
• meridian tapping and massage technique
• seasonally aligned meditation
• a short TaiChi sequence 
• ++The exercises each week will build upon the previous week  and will awaken sensitivities to your own energy flow and will promote balance of the mind, body and spirit.  The class will activate deep healing specific to your needs as you learn to control the seasonally aligned flow of energy.

3. On-demand traditional TaiChi lessons
