Establish the foundation of your Body Temple and initiate the repair of your internal Qi Refinery.

Discover the ancient lineage practice of Shen Fa or Body Method — the movement system used by lineage arts masters to increase Qi flow throughout the body, improve the structural integrity of your body, and move with the grace and power of a Tai Chi master.

Just like building a temple from the ground up, begin with your feet and work your way up the body, mastering the function and lore of each joint or body part, one by one.

This powerful structure will provide the temple for your Qi Refinery. By learning Five Elements Theory and Five Elements Qigong methods, gain powerful tools to harmonize the function of all 10 organs. When your internal organs harmonize and work together, your Qi Refinery kicks into high gear and your energy and health improve quickly.

These two themes will continue and deepen throughout the entire course as you unveil the mysteries and secrets of all 10 internal organs.

During this module, you’ll:

Begin your exploration of the five elements with the metal element, which corresponds to the lungs and large intestines.

• Harmonize the function of your lungs in relationship to the other internal organs
• Release tension in your shoulders and enhance shoulder mobility, while developing more powerful, expansive breathing to nourish your entire system
• Deepen your skill with the Young Child prays to Buddha practice

Continue laying the foundations of your Body Temple by moving up to the knee.

The metal element also includes the large intestine. Continue your study of Five Elements Theory and the lore of the 10 organs.

Learn a classic standing posture called Three Treasure Stance, San Ti Shir, or Heaven and Earth Qigong — the foundation of the lineage art of Xingyiquan, or Form and Will Boxing. This posture is the heart of the metal element and an impactful lung Qigong and eye exercise.

By completing the foundation of your Body Temple, you can start building the frame of your building — with lessons on the spine.

In spinal Shen Fa, begin at the base of the spine in the lumbar vertebrae of the lower back. Because lower back pain or weakness can be truly debilitating, learning to open and relax your lower back and relieve pain can be life-changing.

Sciatic pain begins in the lower back when spinal misalignment caused by tension or injury pinches the sciatic nerve. Becoming skillful in relieving the compression and misalignment in the lower back will allow you to prevent or relieve sciatic pain.

Ascending to the top of your Body Temple, continue learning the secrets of strengthening your upper spine.

Having a strong upper back and chest helps unlock the energy of the lungs and heart, and increases your breath capacity, making breathing easier and more pleasant. Improving your upper spinal alignment also provides the base for a healthy neck, supporting your head gracefully and relieving neck and shoulder pain.

In building your Qi Refinery, deepen your understanding of the secrets of the wood element from Five Elements Theory and learn about the lore of the gall bladder in TCM and Qigong.

Building your Body Temple finishes with the top of your frame through the Shen Fa of the neck and head.

This begins with lifting and balancing the head on the top of the neck in a structurally strong and relaxed position. Opening the top of the spine and lifting the head skyward lifts the spirits and completes your journey to open, relax, rebalance, and rejuvenate your spine.

To continue building your Qi Refinery, keep unfolding the five elements by learning about the heart in TCM and Qigong.

To enhance your Qi Refinery, learn about harmonizing the fire element in Five Elements Theory and the lore of the small intestine. Review and deepen fire element Qigong from Five Elements Qigong.
