Скачать или смотреть Second Standing Ch'i Kung Form: "Supporting Heaven" in the Taoist 8 Silken Forms Series

Near a Stream on the NorthEastern Portion on the island of O'ahu, Hawai'i.

I am wearing red to represent the Heart and and standing in the water which represents the Kidneys. There is a direct connection between Heart and Kidney’s interdependence, and how the two have to communicate with each other in order to be harmonized, as they are the root toward supporting Heaven and Earth.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Theory:

The Heart houses the Mind and pertains to Fire; the Kidneys store the Essence and pertain to Water. The polarity of Heart and Kidneys is the fundamental polarity between Fire and Water.

The Fire of the Heart descends to the Kidneys to warm them; the Water of the Kidneys rises to the Heart to nourish its Yin aspect.

The descending of the Fire of the Heart and the ascending of the Water of the Kidneys keep the fundamental balance between Fire and Water, Yang and Yin, above and below.
