when i was a newbie to shui, the 5 elements were crazy confusing. i couldn’t figure out HOW to use them:
“am I supposed to have only one element in certain areas? if water puts out fire, am i putting out my ‘own fire’ every time i have fresh flowers? i thought fresh flowers represented wealth! am i helping or hurting myself here?”
there were many spirals like this one, my mind always tied in knots trying to interpret this vein of shui.
so, i finally got serious. signed up for a class. some courses. eventually a few certifications. and waded outta the shallow end into the deep.
and i will tell you this: learning the 5 elements changed E V E R Y T H I N G!
Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water each represent transformation – and when any one of them is out of balance in our surroundings, it’s revealed in our patterns of thinking, behaving, and FEELING.
once i figured out their influence, i found myself triggering opportunities like magic. because when i felt better, i did better!
and so will you. xo
