ABEFIT and Eastern Five elements Theory

 Preface: Although it is without any scientific background, there is a particular logic and beauty in that old Eastern Five elements or Five energies theory. Therefore, besides the scientific theory of ABEFIT, following these specific logical elements, which could be easily identified, the explanation of ABEFIT in the frame of Five elements theory, will be given also. In spite of the fact that this explanation should not be considered as a valid theory of ABEFIT, there are many reasons to respect the numerous empirical data, collected in the past millenniums, which are the real base of the Five elements theory.

6Qi energy modification of Five elements theory: According to the traditional Eastern philosophy, Five fundamental elements (energies) of the Universe, as well as of all living systems, are the energies of Wood (wind energy), Earth (humidity energy), Fire (heat energy), Metal (dryness energy) and Water (coldness energy). However, in the Su-jok acupuncture approach there is one energy more - hotness energy, which is assigned to Fire element. Thus in this Su-Jok 6Qi system there are five elements and 6 energies. The mutual balancing of these energies is subject of the Su-Jok 6Qi energy therapy.

6Qi energy correspondent chakra system: Su-Jok 6Qi energy therapy is based on the 6Qi correspondent Hindu chakra system, where the correspondences between the 6 chakras and 6 particular acupuncture points on the hands have been established. Thus the energy balance could be achieved by the stimulation of these points, what is equivalent to the stimulation of the corresponding chakras in accordance with the following rules: hotness - Ajna chakra, heat - Vishuddha chakra, wind - Anhata chakra, humidity - Manipura chakra, dryness -Swadhisthana chakra, and coldness - Muladhara chakra. As it can be seen the Sahasrara chakra (Crown chakra, Gate of Brahma) is not mentioned here, what does not means that it is omitted. Namely, the achieving the balance between the energies of the other 6 chakras is equivalent to the total energy balance and to the optimal function of the Sahasrara chakra as well.

ABEFIT 6Qi energy correspondence: The following correspondences between the 6 ABEFIT skin zones (Fig. 1b.) and 6Qi fundamental energies (Fig. 1a.) has been established: E -humidity (earth), M-dryness (metal), H -coldness (water), T- wind (wood), C - hotness (fire) and V - heat (fire). In accordance with usual traditional approach the elements circle, presented on Fig. 1a. represents the mutual positions and interactions of 6QI energies. The corresponding element circle, according to the mentioned ABEFIT - 6Qi correspondence, is given. on the Fig. 1b.

ABEFIT energy harmonization: In 6Qi energy system the energy harmonization process could be applied to arbitrary number of energies: from 1 to 6. However, ABEFIT must be applied on zone-trinity, what means that harmonization process must be applied to energy-trinity. Even more, each such energy-trinity must contains the heath energy, while in the traditional 6Qi system there is not such restriction. This could be easily understood if one take into account that the heath energy is the most fundamental energy of the each living systems. It is evident that each living system is permanent heat source, because the live itself is always connected with the heath energy creation. Therefore the harmonized rate of heat energy creation should be one of the most important aim of energy therapy. On other side should not be omitted that the heat (fire) and coldness (water) are opposite energies, i.e. the increasing of one has as a consequence the decreasing of another. This means that the balance of these two energies is the another important aim of the process of the homeostatic harmonization of the energies (vital functions) of each living system. Some kind of measure of this important balance of the fire and water, or heat and coldness, is the dryness energy: less water means more dryness and increased (fire) heat energy creation; more water means less dryness and decreased (fire) heat energy creation. All this show that the harmonization of the heat, coldness and dryness energies is the most fundamental energy-trinity in ABEFIT therapy. The harmony between the energies in that energy-trinity is the essential key of the stability of each living system, i.e. the triangle (V,H,M - fire, water, metal) is the real pedestal of each stable living system.
