Five Element Mastery: Qigong, Affirmation, Archetypes, and Ritual

Five Element Mastery is the first book to bring to light the rich relationship between the five elements of Chinese philosophy and the six paramitas of Tibetan Buddhism. The five elements are used in Chinese medicine to diagnose and cure ailments of the body, heart, and spirit; and the paramitas are life practices to foster enlightenment. Adam Holtey applies the wisdom of these ancient traditions through simple qigong forms, affirmations, archetypes, and rituals that are easy to learn and greatly enhance your well-being, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This book quenches your thirst for wisdom and satisfies your search for a fully integrative qigong practice. "I've always planned on writing a book on the five elements, but thanks to Adam's work, I don't have to!" - Deborah Davis, Women's Qigong for Health and Longevity, 2008.
