5 Elements Qi Gong
15 minutes program for more vitality

If you do Qi Gong for preventive reasons, it is quite possible to achieve good results with 15 minutes of daily practice. If you have a complaint, it is recommended to practice 2 times 15 minutes daily or 30 minutes at a time daily.
Basically, it is better to do 6 times 15 minutes Qi Gong, than once 1.5 hours. Therefore, I show you here a short variant of the 5 elements Qi Gong.

Background information

TCM background information

Energy build up in TCM

 

In TCM there is the concept that we come into the world with a certain amount of energy. This is called the constitutional energy. It is stored in the kidney and represents, so to speak, our genetic heritage and potential. The goal is to use up this kidney energy as sparingly as possible. Because when the energy is used up, the person dies.

 

The 2nd source of energy available to us is food. Here, the digestive organs stomach and spleen are meant in particular. In particular, it is about the spleen qi. This must be sufficiently present, so that the body can be well supplied by the food. Because the main task of the spleen is to gain energy from the food.

A strong center is thus central to our personal energy balance. On the one hand, there are foods that build up and strengthen the spleen/stomach and those that further weaken an already weakened center. Here, a warm and cooked meal is especially important to strengthen the stomach and spleen. This is because cooking is comparable to a kind of pre-digestion. Cold food must first be warmed up and digested by the body. And that requires a lot of energy that the body could use better.

For this reason, Chinese medicine recommends eating a hot meal at least 2-3 times a day, especially a hot breakfast.

 

Foods that build and strengthen the center:

- Cooked whole grains: millet, oats, rice, polenta, amaranth, quinoa, bulgur

- Vegetables: carrots, sweet potatoes, leeks, fennel, pumpkin, green beans, cabbage, green onions, peas, eggplant, mushrooms, kohlrabi, cauliflower, salsify, chard, spinach, broccoli

- Compotes: plums, sweet apples, peach, apricots, berries, pears, plums

- Dried fruit: raisins, figs, dates, apricots

- Meat: beef broth, beef, chicken, lamb, veal, game

- Freshwater fish and shellfish

- Nuts: Pine nuts, pistachios, walnuts, almonds, sesame, coconut, hazelnuts

- Sweeteners: Gesten malt, maple syrup, whole cane sugar, honey

- Spices: Vanilla, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, oregano, thyme, rosemary, parsley

 

 

Foods that weaken the spleen qi:

 - Cold and iced drinks and food

- Black tea, green tea, tropical fruit juices, sour fruit teas

- Large quantities of tomatoes, cucumbers, tropical fruits

- Milk/dairy products, e.g. yogurt, cheese, curd cheese, especially cow's milk (alternative: goat's milk, rice milk or oat milk)

- Fried food

- Sausage products

- Raw vegetables, salad, raw fruit

- White sugar

-Wheat (better tolerated is rye)

-Frozen food

- Microwave food

 

General tips to support the spleen while eating:

-3x daily hot meals, especially hot breakfast

- Taking time to eat in a relaxed atmosphere

- Chew food well. Chewing is the already a form of digestion

- Drinks and food should be lukewarm or at room temperature

- Eat a lot of cooked cereals and vegetables

- Season food well, but do not spice it up; spices that aid digestion, e.g. paprika, marjoram, cardamom

- When there is still some room in the stomach, stop eating

- Long cooked soups support digestion

- Pay attention to gentle preparation method

- Choose organic and seasonal, local products

- Do not eat too late in the evening

- no snacks between meals

Qi Gong

The word Qi Gong consists of 2 syllables - Qi and Gong. The Chinese term "Qi" can be translated for us most likely by "life energy". But it contains more than this. It also means breath and air. In Chinese medicine, Qi is considered to be the invigorating force that flows through all living things. However, Qi is not only inside the body of a living being, but also outside. Qi also shows itself to us in nature. Thus animals, flowers and trees are flowed through by Qi. Qi is the living force that is inherent in everything and that makes life possible.

 

The Japanese call this force "Ki". In India it is called "Prana". It always means the same thing - the power and energy that is inherent in everything and keeps us alive. In Chinese medicine, health is only possible when the Qi in our body is pure, not polluted and can flow freely.

 

Due to bad living habits, in the course of time, energy blockages can occur in the body system and as a result, diseases can manifest, which can be physical or psychological in nature. Generally speaking, we can say that a living person has Qi throughout the body.

 

The word "gong means roughly "body work" or "success through perseverance and practice". Therefore Qi Gong is called "Work with the life energy". We learn to improve the flow and distribution of Qi in our body through movement and concentration to strengthen our health and bring body and mind into harmony. At the same time we learn to stand correctly, between heaven and earth. This significantly improves posture and many aches and pains disappear on their own.

 

Qi Gong is a holistic healing system with a long tradition, which has been continuously developed until today. It includes health-promoting postures, movement, self-massage, breathing techniques and meditation. Through these various exercise methods, Qi is supposed to be collected and stored in the body, like in a reservoir. The goal is to expel the impure Qi and absorb fresh pure Qi.

 

Qi Gong is not a medicine that is prescribed for a limited time, but rather it should be practiced daily. In this regard, 20 minutes of daily practice is enough to improve health and one's well-being to a great extent.

 

Anyone can practice qigong. There are exercises for every age and every state of health. The exercises can be practiced standing, sitting, lying down or walking. So even physically challenged people can easily practice Qi Gong and improve your health in a sustainable way.

Chinese herbs

The herbal therapy is called "the queen of TCM" in traditional Chinese medicine. This underlines its high status. Herbs form an important foundation of TCM and have a profound effect on the human organism. They can replenish deficiencies, expel states of fullness, warm or cool the body. They are generally referred to as herbs. Nevertheless, minerals are also used in the recipes.

 

Herbs are usually prescribed after a thorough diagnosis by a doctor. In this diagnosis, in addition to a conversation, attention is paid to the pulse, tongue and overall appearance of the person. Nevertheless, there are herbal mixtures that have proven themselves over the centuries for various problems.

 

We have made suggestions for all clinical pictures for such proven recipes. Nevertheless, in many cases it may be necessary to consult a doctor or therapist. Based on the individual situation, this person can recognize how the energetic situation really is at the moment and, based on this, recommend the optimal herbal mixture. Of course we do not have this possibility, because we cannot meet you personally. Nevertheless, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us and we will try to help you as much as possible. 

 

For many disease patterns there are 2-3 herbal suggestions. The first suggestion is always the one that from my experience is suitable for most people. However, if there is no reaction, then try the second mixture that is suggested to you. 

 

However, herbal therapy needs some patience, because in most cases it works slowly and subtly. In return, there are no side effects and the effect is very long-lasting.
