Traditional Acupuncture: The Law of the Five Elements?

During Medical Qigong sessions, I assess, treat, and explain energetic blocks and imbalances in the five elements of Chinese Medicine.  Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water are considered by the Chinese to be the basic elements of nature, which bring harmony and order. 

These elements are represented in the human body, flowing energetically to maintain balance and remind us of our nature. 

Many of you have asked, “Where can I read more about the 5 elements?

Here is a great option: Traditional Acupuncture:  The Law of the Five Elements by Dianne M. Connelly, PH.D.
