On November 11, 2023, from 5 to 7 p.m., Great Wall Traditional Chinese Medicine in Scottsdale hosted a transformative “Five Elements Health and Wellness” wood energy activity in honor of Veterans Day. The spotlight was on the liver and gallbladder meridian, and the event received enthusiastic feedback from participants.

As the sun set, Master Linda, with over 20 years of experience in ancient Chinese martial arts, led Tai Chi outdoors, emphasizing gradual warm-ups to prevent injuries. Her insightful review at the session’s end proved invaluable.

Before delving into meditation training, Dr. Xiao introduced the concept of wood energy in the “Five Elements Health Care” series, enhancing participants’ understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This laid the foundation for the subsequent acupuncture and meditation, providing a holistic sense of pleasure for both mind and body.

Paul’s debut at the “Five Elements – Wood Energy Health Activity” left a lasting impression. He shared, “After the health-preserving activity, I slept soundly, prompting my wife Patty to join me in prioritizing our health.”

At 7:15 p.m., Leslie, impressed by her experience, extended an invitation to her mom to experience the program during Thanksgiving week.
