Energies
Welcome.The goal of Elizabeth Shahan, founder of Elemental Energies, is to promote optimum health and general well-being through cultivation and management of what the Chinese call “qi” (chee). Translated as “vital energy,” qi is a part of all living and non-living things. It is within the human body and the air we breathe and we cultivate it through the practice of Qigong exercise. It is in all things made by nature and by man; in our environment, we manage qi by means of Traditional Feng Shui.
Elizabeth’s philosophy is simple: she believes individuals and families should have the opportunity to create for themselves the best that life has to offer. Modern living can be hectic and medical research now concludes that stress is the source of most health problems. While much of daily routine is out of our control, there is also much over which we can have power. Qigong and Feng Shui provide the means by which each of us can be in greater command of our physical health and overall well-being. The ancient practices of Qigong and Feng Shui have survived thousands of years because they work and their methods are now available to those of us in the West; we have only to take advantage of them.
With Elemental Qigong, Elizabeth teaches simple and gentle Qigong exercises, which can promote general health by increasing energy, strength, flexibility, and lung capacity and reducing the effects of stress. Her approach to Qigong utilizes three basic principles in which the participant (1) regulates the breath; (2) aligns the posture; (3) practices with intent or mindfulness. A Qigong session includes a warm-up, an exercise form, and a standing meditation as a closing. Qigong instruction may take place in group or individual sessions and is offered in several forms to meet different personal needs and physical requirements.
Using Elemental Feng Shui, we become aware of the innate energy patterns in our homes and offices and take steps to alter that energy so that it promotes good health, secure finances, and happy relationships. Elizabeth’s approach to Feng Shui is as both an art and a science. As a science, Feng Shui concerns the interaction of the natural and man-made environments. In calculating the full effects of that interaction, she combines careful observation with strict adherence to the standard rules of the method involved. As an art, she makes use of enhancements and countermeasures based on creative application of her understanding of the Five Elements. Feng Shui consultations may be residential or commercial and range from interior placement to building site selection.
Qigong and Feng Shui are ancient methods whose wisdom is equally applicable in modern times. Elizabeth is eager to share their benefits.
