The Physical and Emotional Body.
“Take care of your 5 major organs, it can take care of 1 million problems.”
Master Chunli Lin
The 5 Major Organs are connected to different emotions.
The Heart.
The heart obviously pumps blood around the body, and with it, both oxygen and Qi.
Your heart beats about 100,000 times in one day and about 35 million times in a year. During an average lifetime, the human heart will beat more than 2.5 billion times.
In Chinese philosophy the Heart stores:
Love, Joy, and Happiness, but also Hatred, Impatience and Hastiness.
The Liver.
Your Liver has around 500 functions, including:
Filtration, Digestion, Metabolism and Detoxification. Protein synthesis,
storage of vitamins and minerals, and generally cleansing the blood.
An imbalance can result in:
Anger, Jealousy, Envy, Frustration.
The Kidneys.
Your Kidneys also cleanse the blood and turn toxins into waste matter to be eliminated from the body. Your kidneys remove wastes and extra fluid from your body. They also remove acid that is produced by the cells of your body and maintain a healthy balance of water, salts, and minerals, such as sodium, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium in your blood.
An imbalance in the Kidneys can result in
Fear, Trauma and Phobias
The Spleen.
Your spleen controls the level of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets (small cells that form blood clots). It screens the blood and removes any old or damaged red blood cells.
An imbalance can cause symptoms of Worry and Anxiety.
The Lungs.
Your Lungs take in Oxygen and expel Carbon Dioxide. They warm the body to the surrounding temperature, take in humidity and enable you to both smell and speak.
Your breath is synonymous with the Qi flowing around your body.
An imbalance could produce symptoms of Sadness and Grief.
As we can see, it is essential that we look after our organs, and not stress them with our modern lifestyle and habits.
Tai Chi and Qi Gong allow us to slow the pace and re-connect with our bodies, leading to
better overall physical, and hopefully better mental health.
The breathing techniques allow us to quiet the busy mind and oxygenate the blood and brain. The slow and gentle movements allow almost anyone to be able to participate. Why not give it a try?
