FIRE, EARTH, METAL, WATER and WOOD.
In eastern philosophy and traditional Chinese medicine, these 5 elements are what constitutes all things. All these elements are apart of each everything and everyone. They guide all actions, reactions, creations, phases and evolution. This is basis of all.
Everything, including you and me have all the elements within us. Although, as each day comes and goes, we move through these elements, we wax and wane.
Sometimes we have a little bit too much fire in our belly. Other times we are stuck, by being too grounded and not using our natural resources. Then other times we need to breath in new life to move forward and then let go so we go with flow, like water and move into new phases. Once we move through letting go, it enables us to grow and reach our goals, like the tall tree in the forest reaching for the sky.
Let’s look at plant, say, Lavendar. FIRE. It grows with passion and creative to bring joy. EARTH. It receives nutrients from the soil and digests these to grow strong. METAL. It uses it energies wisely to grow, knowing to hold onto it’s energy when things are hard and cold. WATER. It sways in the breeze and takes the weather elements as they come and keeps on growing. WOOD. It gives birth to lovely scents to help calm and relax us.
Look around and you will always ‘see’ one of the five elements showing it’s true color in all things.
What do you see?
