The exercise consists of a series of nine easy-to-learn sections. It awakens the feminine energy (earth energy) through gentle and graceful movements.

Earth Energy Qigong helps with fatigue and with high blood pressure, and can have a balancing effect on premenstrual symptoms and menopause.

Five Animal Frolic (Wu Qin Xi)

"Breathing fresh air, and copying the walk of the bear and the wing-stretching of a bird, bring a long life."

Zhuangzi (Taoist philosopher and poet 400 BC)

The most ancient qigong system practised today is from Hua Tuo (110-207 BC), known as the 'Father of Chinese medecine".

Inspired by the movements of five animals: tiger, deer, bear, monkey and crane, he devised a set of qigong exercises that imitate not only the movement but also the attitude and bearing of the animals: fierceness, grace, strength, flexibility and balance.

The posture movements are simple but elegant. The exercises are suitable for people of all age groups.
