Have you ever stopped to consider that you are a series of 60 trillion cells that have agreed to come together as you? You are a dynamic system operating as a community. Did you know that cells do everything that you do? They respire, take in nutrients, eliminate waste, repair them elves, they take in information, send and receive signals from everywhere including the material and immaterial realms. Are you aware that the immaterial affects the material and the material affects the immaterial and that that energy manifests at each of these levels as one person. As a result of this there are Energy attributes that should always be in balance.
In Chinese medicine there are five attributes that enable your system to retain balance when understood - these five changes represent different expressions of qi (energy, the vital life force) that are always available to you.
