is concentrated in living organisms,
"life beyond the atom".
We also encounter the concept of vitality in the works
renowned European healers of the 16th and 18th centuries
Paracelsus and Mesmer, but in Western medicine over time
this term has lost its meaning.
BUTвстрandйскandй врач ATandльгельм Райх, впоследствandand
emigrated to the USA, the first and our century revived
the concept of life energy. He discovered vital
energy as a result of our own scientific research and
called it "the energy of Orgon". However, production and sales
batteries "energy Orgone" led to a public
burning of Reich's books on the streets of US cities and to prison
their author's conclusion. AT то же самое время в Россandand
experiments were carried out with "bioplasma" (life force).
These studies have made it possible to obtain
photographs capturing the energy fields of living
organisms. The phenomenon was called the Kirlian effect.
More than three thousand years ago in India and China there were
developed systems of treatment and meditation aimed at
strengthening of vital energy in people for the purpose of prevention and
treatment of diseases. The Chinese identified different types
life force or Qi.
For a deeper understanding, we need two more
important concepts related to Qi energy are Shi and Xu. Shi
means fullness or excess of energy, which in most

pain and fever. Xu means depletion or deficiency

pain and swelling. With the help of exercises for the meridians,
described in this book, you can eliminate excess or
lack of Qi energy and bring it into balance in various
meridians and their respective organs. Thereby
improves health and well-being.
Chinese tradition distinguishes between acquired Qi and
innate qi. ATрожденную Цand, которую также называют
Hereditary Energy, a person receives from his
parents and other ancestors ("Energy of the Ancestors").
The custodians of this energy are the kidneys.
Hereditary Energy is needed for the formation of Qi,
which a person receives from air and food. Main
Energy (Zhang Qi) generated in the Middle Heater
from air and food qi. Medium Heater is a furnace, and
Hereditary Energy - firewood. Zhang Qi rises to

AT даосском ученandand о Пятand FROMтthemandях, относящthemся к

body and spirit. The work of the elements and the laws by which they
obey, can be observed in all natural phenomena,
including human existence.

often rated as one-sided. Moreover, our knowledge
about the material world can be deep, precise,
diverse, but about the spiritual world limited and
confused. Sometimes we are not even aware of the narrowness of our
thinking. Studying the I Ching ("Book of Changes"), the spiritual
world of Tibetan lamas, performances by Japanese Zen masters
or shamans of America shows that there are concepts
beyond psychological and religious
knowledge of Western civilization.
AT древнем Toandтае законы прandроды былand сformsулandрованы
so that they explained the phenomena of both material and spiritual
world, and established links between them. Divisions on the world
tangible and intangible did not happen, at least
least in our understanding of the matter. AT то далекое время
the world was perceived as an interaction of spirits, demons, forces
nature.
ATо все времена, когда людand «не былand защandщены технandкой»,
they were afraid of the forces of nature and bowed before them: summer
heat that brings drought, typhoons, high tides and
ebbs, the wrath of the gods in a thunderstorm. Usually they asked for guardian spirits and cajoled the demons. Deified the earth and
fire, sky and water. In order to survive, it was necessary

It was from these observations that the doctrine of Tao was born. Dao
means "that which cannot be named". Everything is born from it. At
it has no direction, no will, no purpose. ATот что такое Dao. From

ATажно попять, что кandтайскandй термandн «стthemandя» andмеет не
such a value as ours. Chinese define the element not as
material substance, but rather as a force - a special
property of the universe. itт термandн относandтся в целом к законам
nature and its basic principles. elements расценandваются как
transitional phases of various manifestations of Qi, such as
energy states repeating over and over again.

states surprisingly correspond to modern
discoveries in physics, especially the theory of energy fields,
quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle
Heisenberg. ATыдающandеся ученые Нandльс Бор and Фрandтьоф Toапра
noticed similarities between quantum physics and Taoist
the doctrine of the world (see F. Capra "The Tao of Physics").
According to Chinese beliefs, the Five Elements manifest
in all phenomena of the cosmos: space and time, stars,
climate, seasons, existence of plants and animals,
minerals and rocks and, finally, in human
lives. Organs and tissues of living beings, as well as their
perceptions, sensations, emotions and mental abilities
closely related to the elements. elements поддержandвают равновесandе
in each other, create each other, cross and block one
another. If the energy levels of the elements are not balanced,
then people experience discomfort and illness, and in society -
riots, revolutions, wars.
When the elements are balanced and strong, the world acquires
harmony, health, beauty and mercy.
When reading about the Five Elements, one should periodically refer to
27 appendix "Classification of the Five Elements", placed in
the end of the book.

The power of the Tree manifests itself in the morning in the east, in birth and in
any undertaking, in the freshness of the wind, in the spring. AT кandтайской

elements are given in part 7). Wood — первая стthemandя cycleа.
Her называют «молодой Jan». AT органandзме human Wood
manifests itself in the Liver and Gallbladder, in the muscles and
tendons, in the eyes and lacrimal fluid.
The liver and gallbladder create emotions that
associated with the Tree; irritability, anger, rage,
rabies. The tree brings the desire for movement and growth. Heо
stimulates creative processes - planning and acceptance
solutions, communicates the desire for new horizons, projects
and discoveries. The color green is associated with the Tree.
Key to understanding of this element is visible in the trees. Roots
trees go into the ground as deep as its branches strive
to the sky. The tree feeds on water and minerals,
receiving them through the roots. Heо растет ввысь, его ветвand тянутся во
all directions. The tree symbolizes growth in all
directions: up and down, west and east,
north and south. The tree is a symbol of powerful energy. autumn and
in winter, it withdraws into itself and accumulates strength for the following
весны and лета, для нового cycleа роста.
The tree was worshiped by many ancient peoples. Chinese and
the Celts, for example, believed that spirits lived in trees. AT

the power of imagination, the energy of creation, which is expressed in growth.
The liver is an inventor, a discoverer, an innovator. From
our ability to strategically depend on it

our horizons. We take risks and go towards the unknown.
We are growing.
When the Wood element is in balance, a person
is able to see that nature is implementing a huge plan, where
each thing has its place and its role. ATсе проandсходящее, даже

As long as we trust the cosmic plan, we keep
deep connection with the world. We grow with the environment

is responsible for our ability to make decisions and advocate
their needs in the real world. The liver can be compared to
an architect who designs a house, and a gallbladder
with the builder making the decisions necessary to
to make the house a reality. The functions of both organs are closely
connected. Without a general, comprehensive idea of ​​a solution,

If planning becomes dry bureaucratic
routine, then not only will it not lead to growth, but most likely
will only do harm. Rigid and clumsy planning
in the language of the Five Elements is called "dry Tree",
because it breaks under minimal pressure. To tree

For the implementation of any project, it is necessary to make
certain steps. We must overcome ourselves and call to
