Module 2: Musicality & Movement
Introduction
Music is used in the ChiBall Method to alter our state of mind. Each element of Chinese medicine has a certain energetic resonance. The wood element is a gentle rising energy; fire is vibrant and energetic; earth has a centring and nourishing vibration; the metal energy travels inward and is quiet and relaxing, water has a still and reflective quality. Equally the ChiBall music must complement these elemental examples of Chi as expressed through the seasons. Music for the wood element needs to have an awakening quality, for fire – vibrant and lively themes are ideal. Earth element music is soft, gently stimulating without being distracting. For metal there should be virtually no beat at all and purely instrumental. Atmospheric pieces with chimes and chanting are ideal for water.
