The five Elements of chinese Wuxing theory are Water, Fire, Earth, Metal and Wood. To every Xing we have an animal. The tortois for Water, Crane for fire, Snake is earth, Tiger for metal and Dragon for wood. The movements regulate your inner Qi, massage the organs and calms the nervous system. I performed the Five Animals at the Parque Taoro in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife where we also have a workshop every february. This is for my students to remember the movements, it has not been produced for commercial purposes. For workshops visit my website wudang-dao.com Music: 佛门钟声 (Buddha Bells) I have no rights on this music.

The American physicist Richard Feynman said this about the notorious puzzles and paradoxes of quantum mechanics, the theory physicists use to describe the tiniest objects in the Universe. But he might as well have been talking about the equally knotty problem of consciousness. Some scientists think we already understand what consciousness is, or that it is a mere illusion. But many others feel we have not grasped where consciousness comes from at all. The perennial puzzle of consciousness has even led some researchers to invoke quantum physics to explain it. That notion has always been met with skepticism, which is not surprising: it does not sound wise to explain...
