In this episode, we bring you the recording of John's online teaching on the Taoist five healing sounds and colors. Based on the Taoist five elements, this is an important practice that will bring your physical, energetic and spiritual Being back into balance and harmony.
Simply put, in the Taoist system, dis-ease is brought about when the five elements - wood, fire, earth, metal/stone, and water - are out of balance within our five organ systems. It is through the five organ systems that we are connected to the Universal energy, all of Life, Source. This practice uses the healing power of sound and color focused on each organ system and element, and the power of intention with the mind leading the Qi, to bring these five elements back into balance within you.
