Ancient masters observed recurring patterns in nature, medicine, music, human affairs, and other parts of nature's expression. They categorized these observations into 5 elements.

When you listen to the songs in order: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Qi, you will subconsciously learn the teaching and patterns of the elements.

The teachings are all woven into the melodies, harmonies, orchestration, tension, release, transformation, and other musical elements. Om Shanti Om can be translated into a few different meanings. Om is the sound of the universe. Shanti means peace. Saying Shanti 3 times in a row can translate to Jing, Qi and Shen, which means Body, Energy and Spirit.
