ARE YOU LIVING THE LIFE YOU TRULY WANT?

Whether you’re an acupuncturist or client of Chinese Medicine, the first step is to look at the Five Elements within yourself. Are you looking for a fun and exciting way to learn more about the Five Elements and how they fit into your life?

  • Do you think it’s possible to live your authentic life?
  • ​Are you curious about learning more about The Five Elements can effect your Career, Relationships, Health, Wealth…and more! 
  • ​Do you want to discover and learn valuable Five Element tools in order to communicate and interact more effectively with yourself and those around you?

What if you could simply watch someone walking towards you, and just by how they move, you could immediately know many things about them? It can help you with your family, your friends, your coworkers and especially your clients if you have a healing practice.

The Chinese believe that we are born with an elemental type that is a theme in our lives.

There are Five energies in the Universe. We have all Five Elements within us. However, one element is the guiding force in our life, from birth to death. That Element, the Chinese believe, is our curriculum and directs us to many life lessons. It signifies our greatest gifts and our deepest struggles.

We are energetic beings. We are powered by some invisible force, which is like electricity that makes us talk, walk, move, etc.

WHAT ARE THE ANCIENT FIVE ELEMENT ENERGIES? 

Energy is surging through us and unconsciously telegraphs our inherent nature in every word we speak, the look in our eyes, the way we walk, the way we dance, and even the way we make love!  

The way that the beings of this planet move through time and space are explained by Elemental Energies. Each of the Five Elements describes an Elemental Energetic type:

  • Wood moves out and back, a thrusting motion, like a plant bursting through the ground in Spring and then putting out leaves, and then thrusting up again
  • Fire moves up and down, like the flames of a fire
  • Earth moves circularly, reaching out and enveloping with caring, like the smell of bread surrounding you
  • Metal moves upward for a tiny bit and then falls away, like a leaf being lifted for a moment by an air current and then slowly falling to the ground
  • Water moves forward like the forever-running, unstoppable river making its way home to the ocean

Each being on the planet (humans, animals, and plants alike) has all Five Element energetics present within them. However, the Chinese healers of ages old believed there is one predominant Element that from birth to death is the greatest influence on how each of us moves through life. It is your curriculum or lessons of life. It determines your greatest gifts and biggest struggles.

“The information provided in this class is life changing! The Five Elements are life changing! I can’t express enough how important this class is for anyone who wants to know more about who they are authentically. The Five Elements gave me a different way to look at life and the universe, but it’s not just theory. Everything I learned in this class can be applied to how I operate in the real world, and it has impacted my mental health/wellbeing in ways that are profound. The incredible part is that this only scratches the surface on what there is to learn about The Five Elements. Take the class you won’t be disappointed!”
