Five Elements Qigong with Nick Loffree, sometimes known as Five Seasons Qigong (Chi-Kung), aka energy-work.
Qigong Master Nick Loffree guides you through a follow along routine of Energizing Qigong for Winter. In Chinese Traditional Medicine (TCM) theory, the five elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—are essential components used to understand the dynamic interplay of forces in the natural world and the human body. Each element is associated with a particular season, organ system, emotion, and aspect of nature.
In this context, the Water element corresponds to the winter season and governs the Kidney and Bladder organ systems. The ancient practice of qigong, a holistic system of coordinated body posture, movement, breath, and meditation, recognizes the profound connection between the principles of Winter and the Water element.
Winter, as the season of rest and regeneration, aligns with the Water element's emphasis on stillness, introspection, and the conservation of energy. Qigong practitioners often harness the energy of Winter to cultivate the Kidney's vital essence, known as "Jing," and strengthen the Water element within themselves. Qigong exercises during this season may focus on gentle, flowing movements and breathing techniques to nourish the Kidneys and enhance the body's capacity to store and distribute energy efficiently.
By harmonizing with the natural cycles of Winter and embracing the qualities associated with the Water element, this routine will help you promote balance, resilience, and overall well-being. Filmed on the seashore in Okinawa to offer you a mindful getaway.
