Water Up Fire Down explains the energy principles that promote health. It shows the connection between our busy lives (stress, inactivity, poor breathing) and the development of a chronic energy imbalance in the body, and the symptoms that arise as a result. Best of all, in a series of easily accessible practices, it shows how we can correct the imbalance and generate new habits to promote health, happiness and peace in body and mind. A wonderfully written must-have book for everyone!

The Water Up Fire Down principle of energy circulation is fundamental to East Asian traditional health and healing practices such as acupuncture and acupressure, but there wasn't an easy-to-read explanation of it until now. As a teacher of traditional self-healing methods, I really appreciate finally having this guidebook for my students! I highly recommend this book for anyone who cares about supporting their lifetime health and immunity.

4.0 out of 5 stars A VERY INTERESTING READ!Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 13 July 2021
Verified Purchase
This book contains some very relevant information about Natural Healing and channeling some of the energy we produce daily to heal our ailments. Outside of the last chapter, which focuses on healing the Earth as a living organism, which doesn't sit right with my spirit, it was filled with practical advice. I believe we need to love ourselves and one another by following healing protocols like the ones outlined in this book that establish a simple daily health regimen that virtually anyone can easily follow, and that brings excellent results.
Besides showing us how to do certain exercises to channel our bodily energy to create a healing inner environment within our bodies, this book also asks us to focus on how we think of ourselves and how to surround ourselves with loving care. Our thoughts and actions play a role in our own healing, as do our personal relationships, and when we surround ourselves with positive energy and view ourselves and our neighbors with the right light, it's only natural that we will become healthier and happier, and the world will be a much brighter, happier place.
As for healing the Earth, if we all strive to love each other, taking care of our environment would be a logical offshoot of doing that without having to view the Earth as a living being, which IMO, it is not. It was created by our Creator to be our perfect home and to sustain life, it follows various laws of physics, motion and biology, and it does not "choose" or "know" how to heal itself. We do know how to heal the Earth though. So let's work together to clean up our homes, air and water, and protect wildlife, the oceans and wilderness areas.

I can now see that Creating a stronger and healthier way of living and thinking has helped me eliminate the level of pain in my body from past cancers , and severe bone issues daily. Incredibly enough, taking physical actions to make my body stronger has made my thinking shift positively too.
I could go on all day of how many times I’ve read this and how many people it’s helped, but my words can’t truly convey how these principles of life are without doubt genius , yet at the same time, also very simple to practice! Thank you!

‘Water Up Fire Down’ - Cool head and warm belly !
The name of the book itself starts to calm me down releasing unnecessary thoughts and associated heat from head and find strength and trust with warm and strong core. The author Ilchi Lee explained in very simple logic how the reason of major illnesses like cancer and other diseases starts decades ago in the body with energy blockage in various parts of our body. Our body sends signal which we tend to ignore until we cannot keep it aside any more and end up in doctor office or hospital. But if we pay attention to simple communication from our body and mind and take care of it early we can avoid many illness and have a happy, healthy and meaningful life. We do not need regret later. He gave easy techniques which anyone at any age can follow and improve their physical and emotional conditions. A MUST book to have and read during this pandemic!

I have been in an energy slump lately, and was particularly tired today. After skimming this book for a few minutes I decided to try an exercise or two. I did the belly button healing (for 3 minutes) and then the 2 solar plexus exercises (no more than 5-6 minutes total) and was blown away by the change in my physical and mental state. It immediately created a cool head, open heart, and effortless energy, which lasted for hours. I'm so very happy I bought this book! Thank you to the author for the information and empowerment to transform my own life.

Years into the practice of recovering water up fire down, I was able to improve and manage my health. I am healthier than 10-15 yrs ago. This book summarized all these practices clearly and can help anyone without any prior knowledge.

It was created by our Creator to be our perfect home and to sustain life, it follows various laws of physics, motion and biology, and it does not "choose" or "know" how to heal itself. We do know how to heal the Earth though. So let's work together to clean up our homes, air and water, and protect wildlife, the oceans and wilderness areas.

This book is the greatest guide or tool, I have ever read or experienced. The principles of creating a healthy life for yourself and in turn spill into all my loved ones resonated with me internally like nothing else ever has! I can now see that Creating a stronger and healthier way of living and thinking has helped me eliminate the level of pain in my body from past cancers , and severe bone issues daily. Incredibly enough, taking physical actions to make my body stronger has made my thinking shift positively too.
I could go on all day of how many times I’ve read this and how many people it’s helped, but my words can’t truly convey how these principles of life are without doubt genius , yet at the same time, also very simple to practice! Thank you!

‘Water Up Fire Down’ - Cool head and warm belly !
The name of the book itself starts to calm me down releasing unnecessary thoughts and associated heat from head and find strength and trust with warm and strong core. The author Ilchi Lee explained in very simple logic how the reason of major illnesses like cancer and other diseases starts decades ago in the body with energy blockage in various parts of our body. Our body sends signal which we tend to ignore until we cannot keep it aside any more and end up in doctor office or hospital. But if we pay attention to simple communication from our body and mind and take care of it early we can avoid many illness and have a happy, healthy and meaningful life. We do not need regret later. He gave easy techniques which anyone at any age can follow and improve their physical and emotional conditions. A MUST book to have and read during this pandemic!

5.0 out of 5 stars The exercises work!Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 15 December 2021
Verified Purchase
I have been in an energy slump lately, and was particularly tired today. After skimming this book for a few minutes I decided to try an exercise or two. I did the belly button healing (for 3 minutes) and then the 2 solar plexus exercises (no more than 5-6 minutes total) and was blown away by the change in my physical and mental state. It immediately created a cool head, open heart, and effortless energy, which lasted for hours. I'm so very happy I bought this book! Thank you to the author for the information and empowerment to transform my own life.

I had a stressful job and my health began to suffer with various little things like Chronic sinus, vertigo, plantar fasciitis, migraine, lower back pain, shoulders and neck tension, etc. Though not life threatening, it's a distraction to my daily life. Years into the practice of recovering water up fire down, I was able to improve and manage my health. I am healthier than 10-15 yrs ago. This book summarized all these practices clearly and can help anyone without any prior knowledge. I hope anyone who gets this book will incorporate the practice as part of your daily life routine and enjoy the results I experienced. Wish you health, happiness and peace! When we take care of ourselves, we can create a better world!

In this time of pandemic, I really appreciated Ilchi Lee's perspective to take charge of my own health. There is a time and place for Western medicine, but there are simple techniques and principles that we can do for our own health and well-being. Ilchi Lee makes the energy principle of Water Up Fire down easy to understand and applicable to today's environment. When we are stressed, and most of us are these days, our energy condition is reversed. The simple techniques in this book really helped me shift my focus back to myself and how as I care for myself, I am better able to care for others and the planet. Please read this book, the ideas presented here will apply long after the pandemic is over.

Totally awesome advice! 😆👍 This book truly lives up to the statement that no matter what physical or mental issues you may have, if you apply the Water Up, Fire Down energy principle in your daily life, you can make progress toward clearing them up. Who doesn’t want to heal their physical & emotional health issues? 🤷♀️ No one I’d guess... therefore please everyone read this amazing book! I wish I had read this as a required reading in college... heck, even better if it had been required in high school. 🤞Crossing my fingers for this timelessly wise book to be added to many curriculums in the future. 😄 Enjoy!!
