Chi Dynamics Qigong - 5 Elements Exercise

There are 5 Elements Exercises eg. Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth.

I will describe only 2 of them here.

The Metal Element Exercise is practised at every class session. Our feet will 
stay rooted to the earth and the upper body will sway left and right or in circles.

The QI which is being circulated cause our body to sway quite violently.
