Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water - the Five Elements of Daoist Qi Gong

Week 8 - Flowing Through the Seasons

Dan Brierley · 65 minutes · recorded July 22, 2026

Dan runs through the complete sequence in order: opening form into earth's lion, wood's tree, fire's crane, metal's tiger and water's lake, then closing back to the opening form. Practice covers Wu Chi, the five element breaths and the full flow, with brief notes on each element's quality and its organs. He closes with a short talk on the power of intention, how attention shapes mood and the body's cells, and how we tend to dwell on hurts more readily than joys.
