5 Element Energy Flow | Qigong, Daoyin, & Zhan Zhuang in the California Desert

  • Five Element Qigong balances the flow of energy through the body, and harmonizes the various aspects of mind and spirit. This works on the Traditional Chinese Medicine theory of acupuncture meridians, which correspond to 5 different "Yin" organs, and whose manifestation is symbolized by the five elements of metal, water, wood, fire, and earth. This version is a little more challenging than the first one I posted a few months ago, so feel free to go back and try that one if this one is too much for you.

    I am amazed that this channel doesn't have millions of subscribers. The production value is very high, your teaching is impeccable and the flows are so precise yet still oozing :) I watch many QiGong videos and you are my first stop every time. Thank you so much for this channel and I hope you keep posting.

      @@TheNickLoffree Don't worry, i'm optimistic :) btw - a "successful" channel doesn't always mean being viral and having UA-cam being the only/main source of income - sometimes a good looking, always growing channel is the best business card you can have - leading to you being hired for online sessions, consultation, etc..

    Merhaba, 2 yıldır düzenli olarak qiqong yapıyorum. Binlerce video izledim. Gerçek anlamda mükemmel olan 2 öğretmen buldum. Onardan bir tanesi siz oldunuz. Her gün sabah akşam 2 kere çok zevk alarak yapıyorum. Teknoloji harika çünkü benim ana dilim Türkçe, çeviri ile çok güzel anlıyorum. Minettarım, 🙏çok teşekkür ediyorum. Türkiye'den sevgiler.🥰

    About the Fair Maiden at the Shuttle-- a shuttle is a weaving tool which holds the weft yarn/thread. This is the yarn which needs to go across the loom and warp threads ( from side to side) to form the cloth. I think the qigong 'designers' need to watch that lady a few more times since she's not weaving very well. :>))
