The Five-Element System was developed in ancient China in order to understand
and explain different worldly phenomena. By observing the cycle of the seasons in
nature, it is possible to see five phases, which influence nature in different ways:
WOOD (spring),
FIRE (summer),
EARTH (late or indian summer), METAL (autumn)
and
WATER (winter).
Although each phase has its different qualities, they all contribute to the endless
cycle of creation. Winter, hybronation and recharge leads to the growth in spring,
leads to mature in summer, leads to abundance in late summer, collect, reflect and
recycle in autumn, that leads to winter again.
Harmony between the elements will influence everything in nature,
An important principle from the Daoist thought is that the part equals to the whole.
since we (humans) are part of nature, the chinese think of each person as a cosmos
in miniature.
nature follows certain laws or tendancies,
for example: spring always comes before summer, like wood tends to create fire.
After a consultation I would devise a treatment plan,tailor made to your needs,
which is focusing on nourishing the root as well as relieving symptoms, the aim
is to restore
harmony between the elements, which promotes good health.
I may further recommend Qi Gong exercises and dietary advice.
