Connecting Your Circle: Discovering the Five Elements in You

Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. You have all Five Energy types within you. But your “Stack Up,” which is the order of your Five Elements is what makes you stand out in the world and be your unique self.

The Five Elements for Business Leaders: Realizing Your Elemental Potential

Chinese Five Element philosophy can help you maximize your full potential in business and enhance your customer, employee, and co-worker interactions. 

We have all Five Elements within us: wood, fire, earth, metal & water. But one element is more prevalent than the other four and influences how we walk, talk, think, and experience the world. Every successful person in the world has an innate sense of energetics and how they influence our encounters with those around us. To truly master the world of business, you must master your understanding of yourself and how the energies of the universe influence your engagement with those around you.

The Five Elements of Chinese Medicine provide powerful insight into understanding your customers… their energetic styles, how they connect make connections, and what kind of energy they respond best to. Once you unlock the key to understanding energetic styles  (Elemental Energetics), you will be able to make your customers comfortable and valued from the start. This powerful method of interaction will completely enhance your service and sales communications.

Intro to the Five Elements for Healers

What is the most important thing that builds rapport with your clients and makes them want to work with you? They must believe that you have “gotten” them. Being “gotten” is like gold in healing. True healing must incorporate this level of rapport between the healer and the one seeking healing.

Chinese Five Element philosophy can help you identify the true nature of a person so that you can help that person find their way home. Illness is homesickness when a person is lost on their way. Healing helps them come back to themselves. And in order to heal at this level, you must understand universal energetics.  

We have all Five Elements within us: wood, fire, earth, metal & water. But one element is more prevalent than the other four and influences how we walk, talk, think, and experience the world. To take your healing practice to a new level, you must master the elemental energies of the universe.
