Five Animal Frolics, known as Wu Qin Xi, was developed in 145–208 by the 'Father of Chinese Medicine' Hua Tuo for rehabilitation, recovery, prevention of disease and longevity. This five animal frolics long form contains five Qigong meditative movements for each of the five animals to improve your physical, mental, emotional health and wellbeing. When you practice the five animal frolics, you will discover within you, the power and strength of the tiger to transform anger. The elegance and serenity of the deer to transform fear. The gentle strength of the bear to transform worry. The smart and playful monkey to transform hatred. The lightness and free spirit of the bird to transform sadness. The five animals correlate with the five elements and organ meridians, where the tiger (liver) and deer (kidney) harmonies each other, monkey (heart) and bird (lung) harmonies each other, and bear (spleen) harmonies all the other animals. This deep and profound practice help you to cultivate the five spirt animals to cultivate balance and vital energy Qi into all aspects of your life.
