If a species or idea is to survive for long, it must be fundamentally sound and able to adapt to its ever-changing environment. The 5,000 year-old concept of the Chinese Five Elemental Phases (Wu Xing) is an idea that continues its usefulness to this day.


The Five Phases of Personal Evolution is a model for human development and harmonious living based the structure and processes of the ancient Five Elemental Phases. It combines with these concepts aspects of the Native American Warrior’s Path, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and a specific set of Qi Gong movements for cultivating vitality. This synthesis represents a further evolution of the classical Five Phases.


Below is a skeletal representation of the Five-Phase Personal Evolution Model. Each phase as well as each interaction in this model matches major aspects of the traditional Five Phases.
