🐉 Dragon of the Water Element | Qigong on Tenerife Island 🌊
Practicing Qigong on black volcanic sand, with the wild Atlantic crashing behind us, reminded me how deeply the Water Element lives in movement.
My friend Tamara of and I met years ago during a training. This time, I visited her on Tenerife Island, where we flowed together through the form of the Dragon—powerful, spiraling, and deeply grounding.
In Chinese Medicine, the Water Element is linked to the Kidneys, to fear, and to our deep reserves of energy and willpower.
The Dragon form mobilizes the spine and hips, stimulates the kidney meridian, and helps us reconnect to our center when life feels turbulent.
🌀 Dragon Qigong benefits:
– Strengthens the lower back & spine
– Opens the hips and activates the core
– Stimulates kidney energy and builds resilience
– Helps release fear and reconnect to inner stillness
– Enhances fluid, wave-like movement through the whole body
