The Five Element Theory is an ancient understanding of the natural world. It is expressed and experienced through the consistent movement and transformation of our environment, with the elements being interrelated and influencing each other. All creation is composed of five elements; wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Our bodies are also composed of these five elements. Each element is located in a specific area of the body. It is also related to one or more body systems. The guiding principle of this meditation is the maxim, “The Yi (wisdom mind, intention) leads the Qi. The Qi leads the blood.” That is, when calm and clear attention and intention are brought to the part of the body, the Qi is led there.
