- This is a full, 12 minute qigong session that includes practices for the elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water and their associated organs and meridians. Each element is demonstrated with some instructions, and repeated a few times. Once you have learned them it's a wonderful practice to do on your own and
for longer -- repeating each element 6 - 9 times. Enjoy! - Zábava

Every morning I meditate for 30 mins, then I practice the 8 Brocades and 5 Element gigong!!! AFTERWARD I FEEL ON TOP OF THE WORLD, thank you very much Mimi Kuo- Deemer, great videos and practices!!!
+Alan Li Thanks for writing, that's great to hear! I'm so glad to hear the videos are helpful!
Hello Mimi, would you recommend doing the 8 brocades and 5 element qigong exercises together as Alan suggests (together in the morning)? Or perhaps they are more effective done at separate times of the day. Both of your demonstration videos were fantastic by the way. Thank you for your insights & inspiration.
Cheers for this, been searching for "learning powerful methods to build your Chi energy" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Fellmeroni Rudimentary Chi - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my partner got great success with it.
Is it ok to do the 5 elements first and then the 8 brocades after? Does it mess the qi? Anyone, please? Thanks in advance!
@@DarlikaDor I think it is o.k, donť worry :)
I just wanted to thank you so much for this video. I'm currently a third-year student at Southwest Acupuncture College in New Mexico and I was initially looking for a qi gong practice that I could do daily to build my qi for when I treat in our student clinic. I've been practicing daily for about three weeks now and I feel my qi flowing more freely and with less constraint. I especially love how you incorporate information about the channels, elements, nature of each organ and their emotions rather than just showing us the moves. I've shared your videos with my friends, as well. Thank you so much and after I really master this one and become more present during it, I'm going to explore the other videos. Thank you so much for these- what a gift!
Thanks so much Collin, glad you enjoy them and they're helping your qi flow for treatment. My husband is also an acupuncturist, the two practices are certainly very complimentary. In fact I learned a variation of these practices from an acupuncturist from New Zealand over 10 years ago, who also taught me a lot about 5 element theory. Good luck with the rest of your program!
This is amazing. I was drawn to Qigong during one of my Reiki sessions. And I found this video to fit what Im suppose to be doing. Thank you Mimi for posting this video. I will make this part of my daily practice.
Thank you Sandra :) I hope it is working for you!
I had car sickness for the first 39 1/2 years of my life. The last 6 months, I can read books (as a passenger in any vehicle without nausea) cuz of your videos!
This is a beautiful thing to read!
Coming back to Qigong after many years of depression and anxiety
I know I can do it
Just step at a time again and again
Thank you so much for your gift 💕🎄
yes, one step at a time. Be kind to yourself :)
@Mimi Kou-Deemer, I have been doing this practice for ... 2 years now? I also started learning Chen Taiji. In the past year, my life came to a juncture where everything seemed to crash all around me. There were a few days where I felt completely alone, and even contemplated self harm. This practice helped me get through that time. I kept growing, and recently, came to another juncture. Today, this morning, the qigong helped me see the cycle of life more fully and give context and wisdom to what I am going throw. Thank you for this.
Dear Mimi, I always enjoy your routines, but today I really felt the need to thank you for sharing them. Your teaching style is so elegant and easy to follow. Once again, thank you!
This is excellent. In gratitude for your offering.
Thank you for posting this truly beautiful set. I especially appreciated the explanations of the organs and emotions in balance and out of balance associated with each element.
Much gratitude Mimi, am 60ish & very bad physical condition. Your video was delivered with exact explanation of method, theory, movement explanation in relation to all of creation. Love it! Going to commit daily a.m. time for this. Increase time as I progress, again this old Native American Lady gives much thanks to your work!
Thank you for such kind words rose. I'm so glad to know you enjoy the video. Hope the practice feels nourishing for you. With thanks, mimi
I stumbled across your 8 brocades demonstration last week, Mimi, and my boyfriend and I have found it a valuable addition to our daily lockdown routine. Your presence is exquisite and beatific, and your presentation style gentle, simple and clear. We’re looking forward to trying out this 5 Elements practice at our next session. Thank you so much.
6 months steady...... still getting stronger.....Chi is discovered......Breath makes huge difference......a remarkable journey that has given me range-of-motion...... knocked out 100 consecutive push-ups a few months ago.....after a great session of Gi Gong. ...;-)
This is wonderflu to read! Thank you Paul!
I have come back to this practice many times. I find the movements so soothing and graceful and I really do feel the balance.
Thanks mam mimi, its best learn excercise every 30min routine a day, from Philippines!
Wonderful!
This was exactly what I needed! I had a workshop about 5 elements qi gong a few months ago, but it wasn't long enough for my muscle memory to memorise everything. this is precisely what I have been looking for to learn the movements, and practice regularly on my own. Thank you so much. Lovely channel!
Beautiful 5 Elements qigong practice. I enjoyed so much doing it! I love how you mention the explanation for each element when we practice. I learned recently about the 5 Elements from Andrew Kenneth Fretwell's book - Emotional Alchemy: The Love And Freedom Hidden Between Painful Feelings. And now I stumbled across your qigong practice. 🤩
It is the most comprehensive and easy to understand book about the elements inside each one of us, in my opinion. I was fascinated by his view on the Earth Element.
''Do you ever find yourself saying "yes" to things you don't really want to do, or feeling guilty about saying "no" to others? This can be a sign of an Earth imbalance within you.
The Earth Phase also has a lot to do with our sense of boundaries - our ability to confidently say "no" and "yes" in a balanced way. When we can calmly decline things that don't serve us, or embrace things that do, we're embodying the qualities of a strong Earth. When boundaries are not clear it is easy to experience disappointment and manipulation.''
Thank you for sharing this Irene, it is super interesting right! I am happy to know you are enjoying exploring the element practices and teachings. Keep up the amazing work
your voice is so encouraging yet calm. There's no doubt that you are a very positive and well balanced human.
Thanks Mimi for these great videos, Qigong is universal! Bonjour from Paris ☯️
Thank you so much for making this video! It feels good to be doing qi gong again after a 10 year hiatus. I like your teaching style. I look forward to viewing your other videos.
Thank you for the feedback Ysmay. I hope your practice is going well x
Thank you for this video. This helped me a lot during my depression 2 years ago. I find myself coming back to it whenever I need to clear my mind and get in tone with my body.
Every day brings new changes to my body & mind.....I can feel subtle changes happening within.....but my biggest obstacle seems to be concentrating on form and not how many reps.... Thank you Mimi.
Thank you for your very clear and informative videos on the 5 elements. i have memorized your awesome videos re the 8 brocades and am in the process of now memorizing the 5 Elements. My wife and I teach a Tai Chi/Qi Gong class in Athens, GA and it is always nice to pull out these moves and to have more moves for our personal practice. Thank you so much for all you do!
Beautiful person, beautiful practice, beautiful instructions, especially including the proper breath work and the visualizations and the effects...the world thanks you for this gift, Mimi!!!
Hi @SocksInTheDrawer, yes - qigong is good for mental and physical health. In Chinese medicine the organs and their meridians all have associated characteristics such as colour, sounds, and emotions. When the organs are in or out of balance the emotions can therefore also be affected. Glad you like the movements!
Excellent Video! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you considered - Zenatthew Planning Paradoxal (probably on Google)? It is a good exclusive guide for building your Chi energy without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate at last got excellent success with it.
这练的什么功？
Beautiful Mimi. I just love this sequence. Thank you very much.
Love this movements and it helped me trough a tough time. It brings quitness in my head and give me good energy. Thanks and love for everything.
This is a wonderful practice, it is quick, easy to follow and effective. I work up last night and decided to perform this practice to help me get back to sleep and calm my body mind and spirit. I did the practice two times in a row then went back to sleep I woke up very well rested and feeling balanced! Thank you so much Mimi!
Thank you! I have used this video and love it. It is a great way for me to start my day.
Hi Mimi , I just want to say THANK YOU because I've been doing my home Qigong practice with your videos for 2 months everyday . I love the way you explain each movement and the movements are easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your qigong knowledge to everyone .
I have been practicing for over a year and I find that each teacher does the same move a little differently. I like you, Mimi, because you have a flow. You make the movement graceful. Like when you are lifting and moving and turning the hands. It just flows!
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing that, I am so grateful to hear that the flow element works for you
Thank you Mimi ! I had a very high blood pressure but since I started Qigong with you I feel very healthy, no more body pain 👏🏼 thank you 🙏🏻 🌺💝
Tried this for the first time this morning...
I've been practicing daily for just over 10 years, but this set made my temperature rise and I came out in a sweat.
I now intend to break it down and learn it properly, one exercise at a time.
Thanks for sharing this...
Great to hear you are giving the practices another try Jonathan. How did you get on?
love it ! you explain excellently! THANKYOU FOR DOING THIS!
Your moves are so elegant and graceful , accompanied with your soothing voice - thank you
This is the one!! It has changed my morning!!!
Wonderful, graceful morning practice. Thank you!
This is such a balancing and beautiful inner work practice! I do this a couple times a week, and feel so rejuvenated & refreshed. Thanks for sharing!😌
Thank you for practicing with me Emily!
This is so beautiful..these POSITIVE movements are vital to our innergy Chi flow ..giving thankhs 4 your time, energy & love..sharing this gem. Hetep 🙏🏾balancing these innergies is 🗝.
You are so welcome - thank YOU for sharing on here and practicing with me!
Te ćwiczenie jest cudowne. Piekna sceneria, kojąca muzyka,poprostu cudownie się cwiczy. Poza tym nauczyciel jest cudowny przyjemnie się ogląda. Dziekuje bardzo. Dzięki wam cwicze codziennie qigong😘💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
🙏
The best qigong practice, my opinion after hours of searching, well done!!
I am a Nei Gong practitioner. This managed to open my side channels after only 3 sessions! I can feel the electric vibration traveling from the hui jin up, up near the spleen into the crown of the head and down near the liver all the way back into the perineum. Very good set!
This is wonderful! I am glad you are enjoying the classes :)
Hi Paulo, the benefits are healthy qi flow through the meridians of the main five organs, or viscera, as well as gentle circulation and benefit to the joints. In general it's to encourage more balance among the five phases/elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for sharing such beautiful and eloquent explained sequence, the energy you give is so nurturing to the soul and body
Hello Mimi, I love this Wu Xing sequence more than any other 5 elements sequence that I've seen. Can you tell where this particular sequence originates from? Thank you for the beautifully presented video. Blessings
I
I would have thought air would be included in these elements instead of metal could you explain the metal concept ?
Yay! I remember watching this video when it first came out and just refound it today. Truly one of the best guided qigong videos imo
Glad you enjoyed it and came back to it and enjoyed it again!
Merci beaucoup Mimi. J'adore! Je pratique avec vous tous les matins.
thank you!
Bless you for sharing your wisdom and technique,really enjoy your style of delivery,a natural teacher with a joyful enigmatic smile to brighten the start of my day . Many thanks x
You are the best qiging I have found on CZcams!!!!! I just wish you had more!!!!! I am listening to your book on audible. Thanks for everything you do!
Thank you for your feedback Meghan! There is a lot more available now via Vimeo - I hope you have found some of it useful! x
Beautiful! I love your very precise and accessible way of presenting this work. I look forward to adding the element of Water to my TaijiFit class tomorrow! The perfect antidote for a full day of teaching Yoga, Tai Chi, and Nia.
Mimi, your videos and instruction are now my favorite online! Your knowledge of psychological, spiritual, energetic and five elements realities and effects flow naturally and organically along with your exemplifying these protocols. I find them focused, clear, not distracting, entirely organic and natural to follow. Many many thanks! I am starting this practice late in life, which is not ideal, but after a lifetime of chronic illness I am hoping to increase my mental health, physical health and longevity. I have already sent your video to a friend and will send it to everyone I know who is interested in practicing Qigong!
+Linda Redmond Thank you so much Linda, that's so kind of you to write, and I'm glad you enjoy the sequences and forms. Wishing you the very best in your practice, Mimi

+dharmaswan12 so wonderful to hear!
Thank you!! Really love these sequences in reverence to Gaia. 🌹💫🙏🏻
You're so welcome!
Thanks kindly for your reply Mimi, this helps a great deal! I love the idea of moving as a right does :) Will keep that in mind when doing this practice.
Thank you for your video. I love it and your beautiful movements. I have just started Qigong. My work incorporates mime, masks and theater so I really appreciate and can identify with the mime- like movements. Thank you so much !
Hi Mimi...thank you for doing these wonderful and tough qi gong videos. They are helping me to keep my blood pressure and diabetes plus walking daily under control. Even though I have to stop midway...I get back into them again the next day. God bless you and your family!
I am so happy to hear you are getting so much from the practices Gary! Blessings to you though :)
thank you! this made me feel incredible and it was really easy to follow along. much love xo
Glad you enjoyed it!
Благодарю за фильм и Ваш энтузиазм делиться со знаниями с другими , живущими на планете )))
🙏
Beautiful forms. I've never seen these before. Thank you.
Thank you for this. I feel like my body's been craving the water element with dry skin, eyes, and a sense of being stuck. I did this flow just once and I already feel more loose and open.
Thanks Mini! I must have used your video 101 times. Heal on!
Wonderful. Thank you Mimi. You are a true delight. Sometimes in life its not easy to find something that you enjoy and that is good for you. Your qigong presentation and presence
ticks both boxes. I really do enjoy doing qigong with you whilst watching your CZcams
presentation and over the last month or so am doing both the 5 Elements and the 8 Brocades each day, oftentimes twice in a day. Doing an hour of qigong each day feels so good and
beneficial. Feel so grateful. Blessings. Keep up the good work.
An excellent Qi Gong Practice. Well executed, and very well presented. Thank you.
Soothing. restauring. Beautiful moves spiritually charged with kindness and gentleness towards self and others.
Please water your bamboos. They look dry in their pots and make me sad. From Australia a big THANK YOU
I Thank you, I stated Qigong for the first time 1week ago and already feel clarity, focus and the way my body is responding is incredable. I am healing my gallbladder/kidneys and liver. So this is a perfect practice for me. Any words of encouragement and/or advise is greatly appreciated.
Keep up the good job, dear!
I am still to start and feel encouraged by you.
Thanks!
That was a beautiful and comforting 5 element qigong meditation practice. Thank you! I loved it 💗🙌🏼
You're so welcome!
You are such a beautiful spirit! Love you!
Love all your videos, Mimi, please keep posting more of them.
Dear Mimi, I absolutely LOVE your videos. They are so well explained and executed! Love your smile too, it is really contagious. Please do more! :-)
Liz from Quebec
Thanks lyz I hope to do more soon!
Thanks Mimi, we love you!
I am very new to these kinds of exercises. I've mostly been reading books. Today is the first I've sought out videos to see how it's done. I am really enjoying and learning much from your videos. Your explanations are easy to understand. And it's easy to follow your movements. I hope to utilize these video more as I integrate these exercises into my life. Thank you for sharing these videos and your insight.
I'm gratitude for precise explanation of the meridians within each posture.
I'm practicing similar chi-kung in the beginning of each chen taichi session but our master haven't (yet) explained us proper meaning of various postures so this is really helpfull...
This video inspired me quite a bit to do a summary of all things...
List of postures and their elements and organs, as presented in video: 0:15 - wood (liver+galbladder) 2:40 - fire (heart+small intestine/pericardium+triple warmer(hormonal system)) 4:45 - earth (pancreas/spleen+stomach) 7:00 - metal (lungs+large intestine) 8:55 - water (kidneys+bladder)
Associated qualities within each element, in the order of their nourishing cycle: wood, symbol Azure Dragon, green or greenblue color, *growing* *expansion* *optimism* , tendons/ligaments and eyes (most yang) -> fire, Red Phoenix, red *prosperity* *enthusiasm* *creativity* , blood circulation and pulse (yang) -> earth, Yellow Dragon, yellow, *balance* *stability* *empathy* , muscles (center, yin yang in perfect balance) -> metal, White Tiger, white *refinement* *strength* *control* *courage* , nerves/will (yin) -> water, Black Tortoise, darkblue or black *perseverence* *_wisdom_* *flexibility* , bones and ears (most yin).
Of course each element and organ can have bad qualities or emotions when there's blockage or unbalance e.g. for wood it's mainly *anger* or *idealism* , for water *indecision* *anxiety* , for metal *pomposity* *grief* *rigidity* and so on based on whether there is general weakness or surplus of chi or there's imbalance between yang/yin in the element (such as anger when the galbladder prevails over liver).
Just recently found you... started doing the eight brocade about 4 months ago and now I'm going to add this to it... Also, have two of your books really love all you show/teach us!!
Beautiful demonstration and explanation of all the amazing Qi Gong elements.
Thank you for all you do and give out🙏
You are very welcome - thank you for sharing Jacqueline
I enjoy your soft comments and gentle approach. Thanks so much you have helped me get in a positive new groove which hopefully will ripple into every part of my life.

thank you for sharing your journey! x
Thank you Mimi for this lovely practice. Peace and Love to you.
Hi Mimi, I have been practicing the 8 brocades for almost a month and I have observed my first positive evolution in my digestive problems (reflux coming from anxiety and nervousness). I love your voice, I love the simplicity of the explanations, I love the demonstrations,. Thousands of thanks for sharing!!!
This is wonderful to hear, I'm so glad the videos have been helpful. Thanks for sending such a kind message, too. I'm honoured! Wishing you a happy new year! Mimi
Your voice is really calming
I become so relax and happly with your Qigong lessons. Thank you so much🙏
🙏 that is beautiful! keep up the practicing!
Thank you, Mimi. I will memorise these. :)
Thank you. I love these exercises and particularly the way you guide us through them. Many thanks
You're so welcome! Thank you for being here x
This is a wonderful practice! Thank you! I've been taking a qigong class for the past few months, and would like to incorporate it into my life on other days. Love this and you 8 brocades video.
+Shari Broder Thanks so much Shari, glad you enjoy the practices and videos!
I want to express my feelings of performing qi gong again and very thankful you have it in CC as my hearing is not good from birth. I am a swimmer and find qi gong much like swimming for pleasure, ( not for competition which are whole other fast movements)...like water, flowing rather than like yoga et al which aggravates my tight muscles ( chest, shoulders and neck). These movements are on different planes whereas most sports are on one plane creating tightness. I like how you explain the movements- not just doing them. Many laugh at me when I say I do this, they think it is "easy" and for me it is the meditative effects that are most important. Thank you!
Thank you susan, this is a beautiful reflection and I am so glad you have found Qigong and it is helping you!
Thank you for this. It has really opened my mind and helped me to know myself better.
Great to hear
Thank you so much for sharing this video and art. I have always wanted to try Qigong, and I am really enjoying beginning with this video. I have been doing it for a couple of days and I am going to keep trying everyday.
Thank you so very much for posting this video, and the one on the 8 Brocades. I am using them as part of my healing from breast cancer. Your kindness is amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. (BTW-You have such a sweet smile, it is impossible to watch the 8 Brocades without smiling back.) much love... rayne
Love this practice ♥️ I have returned many times to this video over the years, I find it difficult to focus in just one thing at the time, but your sweet voice guiding the exercise helps to feel more relaxed and focus 😊
Thank you for sharing this, I am so happy to hear I help you focus in someway!
Hi Mimi! Just wanted to say you're perhaps my favorite Qigong instructor on CZcams. Keep it up!
+Berns Mitra Thanks so much, that's so kind of you to say! I am really glad people like the videos and find them helpful :)
Thanks again Mimi. This is such a great new part of my life. Cheers.
You're so welcome! I am glad to hear this :)
Oh , thank u so much for sharing your practice. So well done, easy to understand and follow. I've been wanting to start and you have made this possible for me. I believe the teacher will come when the student is ready. So much gratitude for this opportunity to learn 🙏🙏🙏❤️

Thank you so much, Mimi!

I am new to qi-gong and your videos are easy to follow and informative!😄 Thank you for all you do!
Le felicito maestra . Necesitamos buenas profesoras como usted en España. Llevo cuatro años practicando tai chi y busco ampliar mis conocimientos y su vídeo me ha gustado mucho, gracias.
