Bruce Frantzis – Five Elements Virtual Workshop: Fire Element

Five Elements Virtual Workshop: Fire Element by Bruce Frantzis is an immersive online course focused on understanding and working with the Fire element within the framework of Chinese Five Elements philosophy. Bruce Frantzis, a renowned Taoist lineage holder and martial arts expert, guides participants through teachings and practices aimed at harnessing the energetic qualities associated with the Fire element. This workshop explores how Fire manifests in the body, mind, and spirit, offering practical techniques for cultivating vitality, passion, and transformation. Participants will learn exercises, meditations, and principles that enhance their overall well-being and energy levels. Ideal for practitioners of Taoist arts, qigong enthusiasts, and anyone interested in holistic health and energy work, this workshop provides valuable insights and tools for balancing and harmonizing the Fire element within oneself.

New Students Welcome

The Fire Element expresses the amplifying principle and is all about flow rather than precision. Fire governs the heart, digestion and the ability to regulate temperature, yet can also increase anxiety and produce a mind that jumps around and gaps out. Fire Element practices focus on reducing anxiety, and generating smooth, strong qi flow and continuity of mind.

The ability to regulate temperature is generally achieved through the circulatory system (heart and blood vessels); both in terms of increasing body temperature to aid digestion, and lowering body temperature to cool down and reduce anxiety.

What You Will Learn

In this seminar, Master Bruce Frantzis and his Senior Instructors will use sitting, standing, moving, breathing and vibration techniques in order to recognize, contact and balance the Fire Element within your body.

You will learn how to go beyond an abstract, intellectual understanding of the Fire Element in order to:

• Produce smooth, strong and vibrant qi.
• Reduce anxiety.
• Improve digestion.
• Increase presence and continuity of mind.
• Bring more spontaneity to life.

Tai Chi Cloud Hands

Tai Chi Cloud Hands will be used for the moving aspect of this training, serving as the container for internal (neigong) and energetic techniques.

You will receive a link to an introductory lesson on Tai Chi Cloud Hands (no Kajabi account required) before the course in order to familiarize
yourself with the movements. Master Frantzis will assume all students know the exercise upon entry.
