Your energy pattern corresponds to the greater whole
The ancient Chinese had a keen interest in spotting the inherent energy patterns of every human being, which is constantly changing and in direct interaction with the forces of nature and the surrounding environment.
Every person has a unique energy pattern imprinted in them. It is composed of the constellation of your astrological sign and element.
In nature we can watch a constant flow of change in relation to the cycle of winter, spring, summer, late summer, autumn and back to winter again etc. This is what we refer to as the 5 elements or 5 phases.
Qi is the fuel that powers the functions of the 5 elements. Yin and yang are like the tides and describe a mutual ebb and flood state. When one is increasing, the other is decreasing, and so on. In other words, the 5 phases indicate the quality of the waxing and waning states of yin and yang. This is like an ongoing rhythm or condition, that has an impact on our lives.
In short, the 5 elements include water, wood, fire, earth and metal. These elements are closely connected and cooperate in nature as in man to maintain a vital balance.
In chinese astrology there are 12 astrological animal signs, each and everyone of them describing a specific energypattern. They are: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.
In the new year (2026), we can expect to see potentially major changes in the world, not least with a powerful collective movement towards freedom and independence. But first of all you will recognize it in your own life.
The Year of Fire Horse 2026 begining February 4
You have probably experienced 2025 as a rather intense year with a calendar full of appointments and tasks to be completed. As we enter the energies of the Fire Horse at the start of the Tiger month, February 2026, we can expect a year of new inspiration and great impact, but also a need to get together with family and friends in your community (the horse seeks its herd). This can also become visible on a larger scale with a collective movement towards greater freedom, justice, and innovation in various areas of our society.
If you have been feeling tired during 2025, there is a good chance that the dynamic momentum of the Fire Horse will give you more energy.
Old patterns/old ties will burn up and it will pave the way for new beginnings. This can bring about great changes and upheavals in our lives and in the world. We will elaborate on that.
Are you ready for a game changer in your life?
The Year of the Fire Horse in 2026 will most likely be a landmark year for you. In 2026, the whole world will act like a Fire Horse. This is where it becomes particularly exciting to examine what influence this energy will have on your life, on your astrological aspects. A central theme in the horse’s drive is its mobility, endurance, and vitality—but also, to a large extent, its responsiveness.
There is a special constellation between your personal sign and the energies of the Fire Horse that is worth exploring in more detail.
You will get the tools to better understand this relationship, so that you can achieve success in the new year.
QiGong 5 Phases is medical QiGong
QiGong “5 phases” is a system of exercises adapted to the 5 phases or 5 elements of TCM (“traditional Chinese medicine”). The exercises strengthen the energy flow in these 5 phases and create inner peace and clarity. With QiGong 5 Phases, the entire body’s muscles, connective tissue, and joints are worked through. Blood and Qi (life energy) circulation are optimized through training. Breathing becomes deeper and endorphins are released into the blood.
The training includes selected exercises for warming up and loosening up the body, as well as exercises that are related to the season and harmonize with the Fire Horse energy of 2026. With this body-oriented approach to understanding, you can deepen your studies of the 5 phases or elements in TCM, etc.
If you have already learned QiGong 5 Phases from previous classes, you will learn new facets of this simple but very effective form of QiGong.
