5 Healing Arts
The five teaching lines (Healing Arts or Branches) each contain an energetic, spiritual and thematic orientation. Orientation in the UHT system is often associated with questions, even for long-time practitioners of the UHT system.
The Mantak Chia Canon is intended to offer everyone energetic and thematic help. Based on the 5 element teachings of Classical Chinese Medicine, each teaching line has been assigned one of the five elements.
The qualities and attributes of the five elements and the creation or nourishment cycle have determined the order and colour code of the teaching content.
