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.
