What are the 5 Elements?

For thousands of years Chinese scientists have studied patterns of nature. They came to see that all of life moves in a circle. Within the circle they noted 5 different energy patterns — the 5 Elements. Each of the Elements has its own flavor and impacts the world in a different way.  Each of the 5 Elements exist in balance with the other Elements in the circle to both create and control the Elements around it.

When we look at the 5 Elements and how they show up for you, we might see that one or more of the Elements is taking up a lot of space in you and in your life.

My goal in working with you and your particular patterns is to understand what Element is in need and how best to support that part of you to bring life into balance.
