A cellular shift in consciousness

The Dao asserts that the building block of the universe is qi, the essential life force. Qi is held in your cells, the air you breathe and the food you eat. At the heart of Chinese Medicine is the understanding that the physical, emotional and genetic narratives passed down through the generations interact with those of your present reality. These interactions impact the organization of qi within the mind and body; producing physical disease and limited states of consciousness. Classical Five Element Acupuncture reorganizes qi, creating expanded levels of consciousness and reducing physical disease at the cellular level.

What is Classical Five Element Acupuncture?

Classical Five Element Acupuncture, as taught by J. R. Worsley, is a Daoist medicine from the time of the Yellow Emperor. It’s based on the understanding that each of us has an internal environment, the microcosm, that reflects the natural external environment, the macrocosm. Within this natural environment, there are five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. The communication and interaction of these elements inform how we see and process our world—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
