COURSE

The Six Healing Sounds Of Qi Gong

With Yuval Ron

In this course you will meditate by invoking the healing qualities of the natural elements that govern your body and the world around you. Based on the Five Element theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qi-Gong and acupuncture, you will learn to use the breathing sounds and simple corresponding movements that have been utilized in Eastern theory and practice for over 2000 years. According to these theories, certain sounds correspond to specific organs, glands, emotions and energy channels of the body and mind. Together, we will draw on this knowledge to become deeply grounded to the present and find balance in our emotional and energetic bodies. Brain research has established that by actively participating while listening to healing music e.g. by repeating out loud the elemental breathing sounds and/or moving the entire body in specific movements, you can witness measurable improvements in your sense of wellbeing. This includes an increased potential for physiological healing and the capacity for greater brain functioning. Dive into this immersive experience, as you are guided to participate beyond passive listening.

Balance your energetic and emotional body by invoking the power of the Six Healing Sounds.

Lesson 1

Metal

Today we will meditate on the Metal element, vocalizing the healing sound ‘Ssssss.’ We will use our mind to amplify the healing vibrational impact to balance the Metal Element and the associated organs of the lungs and large intestines. Following the practice expect to experience a stronger immune system, a sense of righteousness, justice, and endurance facing possible grief and sorrow.

Lesson 2

Water

Metal gives rise to the Water element, and so today we will build upon the Metal practice by meditating on the Water element. We will meditate to a beautiful music track while sounding the Water healing sound ‘Wooooo.’ When the Water element is in a balanced state, we feel courageous with a reservoir of willpower and strength. This practice invites you to develop a deeper sense of connection to others and experience improved health of your bones, teeth, hearing and head hair.

Lesson 3

Wood

As Wood rises from Water, we will build upon the healthy balance of Metal and Water. Today, we will meditate with the beautiful Wood music track while making the healing sound ‘Shhhhhh’. By bringing the Wood element into a balanced state, you will feel inclined to act with greater kindness, generosity and forgiveness. You will also feel a stronger sense of identity. Feelings of despondency and anger will dissipate and you may experience a smooth flow of Blood and Qi (energy) throughout your body.

Lesson 4

Fire

Today we will progress to the element of Fire. We will make the healing sound for the Heart, which is ‘Hawwwww’. Once you balance the Fire element, expect to feel more enthusiastic and filled with vitality. You will be in a better position to receive love and also to express your love. Your thoughts will become clearer and your actions appropriate. Doing this practice regularly over a period of time will allow you to notice that your heart pulse becomes more even, influencing your vitality and spirit.

Lesson 5

Earth

As Fire gives rise to Earth, we will journey into meditating on the Earth element with the healing sound ‘Whoooo’. We will make this sound while meditating to the deeply resonating Earth music track. Once the Earth element is in a balanced state you will experience a sense of mental equanimity and less worrisome thoughts. You will have a sense of fairness, openness and compassion and will feel more balanced and grounded.

Lesson 6

Triple Warmer (San Jiao)

Today we will venture into a mysterious energy called Triple Warmer, also known as the San Jiao. Triple Warmer is related to the element of Fire. We will make the healing sound ‘Heeeeee.’ The Triple Warmer is the aspect of Fire that maintains the balance of water in our bodies and has the crucial function of integrating all the other energies in our bodies and minds. Following this practice you will experience a sense of calmness, fluidity, balance and integrity.

Lesson 7

Relieve Sleeplessness

Today we will benefit from our previous practices with the elements of Wood and Water as we unite both elements in a meditation to help relieve sleeplessness. For this meditation, you may recline or even lie down flat. We will use the healing sounds of Wood (Shhhhh) and Water (Woooo) to help focus our attention and to balance our energies. This practice will lead you to feel deeply relaxed. The sweetness of sleep awaits you.

Lesson 8

Relieve Stress

For today’s meditation, find a comfortable position to sit or recline. You will bring your attention to your breath as you allow your breathing to deepen and to slow down. We will utilize the healing sounds of Wood (Shhhh), Fire (Hawww) and Water (Woooo.) Invoking the healing energy of the Wood, Fire and Water, the musical track will shift your breathing pattern into a more relaxed and peaceful flow. You will feel an inner sense of authenticity and resolution.

Lesson 9

Relieve The Blues

In five-element theory, feeling ‘blue’ implies that there is a primary disharmony in the Earth, Wood and Fire elements. In today's lesson, we will focus our mind on the sounds and musical themes that are inspired by these three elements. You will chant the healing sounds associated with these three Elements, allowing your thought processes to slow down. This lesson invites you to experience a shift in your mood, bringing a sense of well-being, authenticity and hopefulness.

Lesson 10

Relieve Breathlessness

Today we focus on taking full and comforting breaths. According to five-element theory, the Elements of Metal and Water are critical for healthy breathing. In our final lesson together you will begin taking deep breaths into your abdominal region. You will then repeat the healing sound of Metal with each exhale, before taking another three breaths while making the healing sound for Water. As your breathing becomes deeper, you will experience a growing sense of assertiveness, justice, alertness and courage.
