# New As you see above, now EL symbols are used for the icons to link to a main content section. If you can't guess what these symbols mean, click
# I'm searching and planning the main symbol system for inside of the human body. EL wants to help all earth people to feel and know their own body system for keeping each healthy body and mind. This is also a huge project taking time. Remember that EL body-signs work for the purpose too, connecting to the nature through the EL Meditation Exercise.
# Also I'm technically struggling with volunteer friends to use EL fonts in the website directly, instead of using image-files for an ideogram. You might see some unclear compounded characters in your browser such as IE now. Please mail me if you have a question.
# Warning: the earthlanguage domain-name is used for advertising mails including weekly newsletters; but I've never sent such things. Please be careful.

Meditation Exercise with EL Body-signs
By a combination of the power of symbols and Qi/Chi-Gong theory. this exercise would work for harmonizing your body and mind, becoming a part of nature, moving the whole body.
This is easy to learn, and very effective. You need not study language for this, but probably you would naturally memorize and enjoy some of EL symbols too, through your body and heart.
