The Tao of Nutrition with Shashi Solluna
In this talk Shashi will introduce the basic principles of Five Element Nutrition. She will introduce the Five Elements in the form of a medicine wheel, or map, based on nature. This gives a very solid foundation for understanding energy flow between organs and meridians. It can be extremely helpful in diagnostics of chi blockages, and can be used to work out how to remedy such blocks.
One will gain an understanding of how different foods move through different organs and produce different effects on the energy flow. One will also gain understanding on how to be intuitive with food energetics, as well as how to read the energy of the person to gain deeper understanding. In Taoist Nutrition, it is not just what you eat, but how you eat and what your relationship with food is like.
This class will be very complimentary for anyone who practices Chi Nei Tsang, as it can give greater insight into diagnosis. It will also enable chi nei tsang practitioners to offer some nutritional advice to assist their clients in the healing process.
