Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a cornerstone of the foundational principals of kinesiology and determines how we work with the unique energetic blueprint of each individual body. TCM divides the human energy system into twelve key meridians, each relating to different organs and systems in the body. These then correspond to one of the basic five elements of the natural world:

Kinesiology uses the laws of these five elements to identify the unique energetic pattern of a client, and how by applying these laws we’re able to pinpoint the imbalances in the energy flow and where it’s impeding the client’s ability to achieve outcomes and optimise their experience of life.

Each of the five elements and twelve meridians, represent a variety of perspectives including metaphors, emotions, detoxification pathways, and more. The most powerful aspect is how the client’s individual energetic blueprint, congruent with the law of five elements, determines the most efficient and effective pathway to reinstate balance and homeostasis.

When studying professional kinesiology qualifications, students are introduced to the law of five elements in their decond module - yep, class two! They leave after four days of class with the knowledge and skill to perform a 14 muscle energy balance and isolate the priority balancing procedure specific to the client’s needs, as they work with the five elements and meridian system across multiple techniques, including muscle integrity, sound, colour, nutrition, emotions and vertebrae.

Understanding the law of five elements, and experiencing its power in kinesiology is to understand experience the power, scope and application kinesiology offers.
