Guest Speaker: Clair Taylor Powell, Spirit-Level Navigatrix and Mentor

The five elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water, give us a framework to characterize all observable phenomena and understand the laws governing nature’s dynamic process of change.  Five element theory was fully developed by Zou Yen in about 350 BCE, although references to similar theories relating to the five elements are found in records of the Shang dynasty (1766-1122 BCE.). The elements themselves are not meant to be viewed as fixed, but rather eternal dynamic movements that continually transform into each other, as the seasons do.  When these five elements manifest within us in a balanced and harmonious state, we experience health, wellbeing and the joy of being alive.When any of them fall out of balance, the ordered harmony is disrupted and symptoms of ill-health appear, on any or all of the levels of body, mind and spirit.  When we understand how the elements govern our behaviour, emotions and physical health, we have the ability to become masters of our internal landscape.
