HARMONY AND HEALTH, GRACE AND BEAUTY THROUGH THE BALANCE OF THE ELEMENTS:
Taoist philosophy and the doctrine of the five elements are based on a view of the world that is aimed at recognising the connections in life and understanding their meaning. The five elements of Taoism are forces of the cosmos whose effects can be felt in all natural phenomena and in people. If the five forces are in balance, then man and nature are healthy and in harmony. An imbalance of the elements, on the other hand, manifests itself in illness and weakness.
Each of the five elements manifests itself in certain organs and tissues on the one hand, and in certain feelings and intellectual and psychological functions on the other. The practical part contains mental and physical exercises to develop the elemental forces, including two exercises to activate the flow of Qi in each of the twelve organs.
The doctrine of the five elements is the fundamental root of all manifestations of classical Chinese culture; not only traditional Chinese medicine is based on it, but also Feng Shui, the knowledge of harmonious and energising living, the energising physical exercises of Qi Gong and Tai Ji, the various self-defence forms of Kung Fu and the Chinese knowledge of healthy and healing nutrition.
The Healing Tao is regarded as the standard work on the teachings of the five elements and has been translated into eight languages to date.
