Energetic Behaviour

T A I J I  A N D  T H E  5  E L E M E N T S

 
The flow, interaction & relationship between yin & yang is expressed through 5 basic phases of energetic behaviour. In classical Taiji terms this is often referred to as the 5 Elements.

The 5 Elements refer to more than merely the 5 physical elements found around us, they also refer to the 5 ways Chi (or intrinsic energy) expresses itself in the universe.

Water is the first phase. The energy of quiet, rest & concentration. Water, if undisturbed, becomes still.

The second phase is a continuation & development from the first. If energy absolutely still & concentrated, at some stage it will burst forth into movement. This phase is that expansion, Wood. Trees in the Spring embody this after their period of rest. This burst of activity cannot last for long & stabilizes into a period of sustained energy release.

 

The third phase is Fire. Fire is able to sustain a high level of energy release over a longer period of time. As the high energetic release rate begins to decline, ash is produced…& we move on to the next phase.

Earth is the fourth phase. This is the basis, the root & holding element. Earth gives rise to the fifth phase.

Metal is the fifth, a condensed, forged state of energy, which can be released or ‘mined’ from the earth. When metal is heated, it melts, becomes fluid & gives rise to the first phase again.


As Taiji students & practitioners move through their forms, studies & practice, they learn the different phases...the stillness of water, the solidity of wood (& flexibility), the passion of fire, the grounding of the earth & the clarity of metal.

Each element relates to different internal organs & the energetic pathways in the body, known as meridians.

Awaken the "Tiger" in you?

- THIS WEEKEND...7th December

Internationally renowned Tai Chi and Qi Gong master,Dr Michael Lan, will be returning to Mayfair on the 30th November to teach Wu Qin Xi (5 Animal Frolics). Lesley-Ann Green, our Tai Chi teacher trained under Dr Lan. For more information on him look at www.jing-an.co.za

What is Wu Qin Xi?

Wu Qin Xi, or Five-Animal Exercises imitating the movements of animals and birds, is a group of physical and breathing exercises for health care with a uniquely Chinese national flavour. The system was designed by Hua Tuo, a leading physician of the Eastern Han Dynasty ( 25 - 220 AD ). He developed his system based on existing ancient Chinese traditional physical exercises following theories of the functions of the internal organs and meridians as well as the principles of the circulation of Qi and blood in the human body. His inspiration came from careful observation and study of characteristic behaviour and activities of tigers, deer, bears, monkeys and birds. He came to the conclusion that wild creatures regularly performed certain exercises to build up their constitution and improve their life skills.

Benefits of Wu Qin Xi

Experience has proved that after a certain period of practice both the physical and the mental health are improved. Indeed physical and psychological tests of people who practice Wu Qin Xi give high scores to their to their overall constitution, the functions of the various organs, mental attitude and power of perception as well as physical fitness. In addition the waistline and ratio between waist and buttocks in female practitioners are reduced, the cardiovascular and respiratory functions are markedly improved and the grip of strength is reinforced. Subjective appraisal about the effectiveness of these exercises by the practitioners have found enhancement of bodily strength, improvement of flexibility of joints and enhancement of spiritual vitality and psychological confidence.

 (I attended the earlier workshops with Dr Lan & found the Wu Qin Xi quite powerful. Great for vitality & daily practice yields solid results health-wise. The emphasis is on regular practice. Lesley)
