Five Animals Qi Gong
In Five Element Theory the dragon belongs to the element water and manifests as the kidneys in the human body. The kidneys are considered the storehouse of energy for all of the organs of the body. What energy goes unused from the other organs is returned to the kidneys. When the other organs of the body do not have sufficient energy, the kidneys transfer more energy.
The tiger represents the element metal and manifests as the lungs. The lungs are in charge of the intake of oxygen into the body. All of the blood in the body must receive sufficient oxygen from the lungs in order to be carried to the rest of the body. Because the lungs open up directly to the outside world, it is easy for them to take in pollution and other harmful contaminants and pathogens to the body which can greatly affect the immunity of the body.
The leopard represents wood and manifests in the liver. The liver likes to be calm and operates at its best when one is not worried or vexed by problems. If we are chronically bothered by difficulties or troublesome thoughts, the liver qi can become stagnant. Over time, if unchecked this can cause major problems in liver functioning.
The snake represents earth and manifests as the spleen. The spleen plays an important role in producing energy for the body as it is a major part of the processing of digestion and absorption of nutrients. It helps to change food into energy for the other organs. If one does not maintain a healthy and balanced diet and allows their thoughts to run rampant and create anxiety, the spleen will not be able to work efficiently.
The crane represents fire and manifests as the heart. The heart is constantly at work for the rest of the body. The heart is in control of the spirit and circulation of blood. In people who cannot effectively regulate their stress levels, have poor sleeping habits, and do not exercise enough, the heart can suffer greatly.
