Thank You - a very clear and concise posting - I shall seek out the 5th element :-)

[@taoboxer9]

Thanks for this! I've been practicing Xingyiquan for a long time,so I will add this as qigong.

[@Taichination]

hi, glad you like it. primarily the qigong helps to encourage the qi flow and to dissolve blockages in the qi. it also works as a way to enhance the connection between the mind and the body, subduing the busy mind and encouraging a more sublte level of mind and body sensation. enjoy!

[@Taichination]

hello and thanks for your comments keyodie

[@Taichination]

thanks, for the water element, breathe naturally as you massage the back (kidneys) and step forwards. After you step back into a shoulder width stance relax and breathe in. Breathe out as you raise the hands and make the groaning noise.

[@Taichination]

its is fine to use some or all of the movements as you wish. the 5 elements (or 5 phases) are always present, but yes there may be a lack of certain elements in the body. for example if you are lacking fire (feeling cold maybe or even depressed) it may be better to do that exercise more than the others. but to be honest any good qigong will help rebalance the whole system. best wishes matthew

Amazing thank you. Im just getting around to learning about the 5 elements as a way of seeing how things interact, and i was wondering what the purpose of these exersises are. unblocking pathways perhaps?

[@Taichination]

hi there I learnt this from peter warr, who learnt the exercises in Shanghai

[@Taichination]

it can be used as that, but personally i am interested in pushing hands.

[@aeiuli]

the tai qi is a very complex technique with multiple benefits wouldn't be better to start with more basic exercise like iron shirt chi kung for structure?

[@123StillMoving321]

Ooops. .OK. .I see. .you've got wood and earth together here.

[@keyodie]

Cancel the previous! It makes a big difference when I listen with the sound on...I see that the hands circling are for both liver and spleen elements....Oops.

[@kirbytmicah]

can you use all 5 elements or is it varied among users also can certain elements be stronger in some than others?

[@Taichination]
