The Five Elements Of Chinese Medicine

Por Helen Hansen

O que você irá aprender

Understanding the yin and yang qualities of organs, meridians, emotions and behaviour patterns of the individual elements (phases) assists one with a heightened awareness of the mind-body connection and one's personal physiology. It also broadens an understanding and compassion for others. Likewise, our connection to nature and her wonderful ways will deepen over time as we become more and more familiar and comfortable with this archetypal language that is the code of the body and the mind.
