What Are The Five Elements?!
Episode description
5️⃣ This week Ben asks Gabriella 'What Are The Five Elements?!' They chat about the Five Elements and how each one has its own unique qualities, most easily recognised in the season of that element. They emphasise that because we're all part of nature, these energies flow in us. Therefore understanding these rhythms is key to our well-being.
We all have experience of each season, but have we ever given much thought to what nature is really doing in Winter for example? It may appear from the outside that nothing is happening, but outward appearances can be deceptive! We learn that the Chinese recognise a fifth season called Late Summer, which is all about harvest time and abundance. So even if you're not in a temperate part of the world that has distinct seasons, for example near the equator, these elemental energies are still at play.
And they don’t just muse on the goings-on of the outside world. They connect it to how Five Element Acupuncture recognises and works with the flow of these five different energies within us, explaining how it's all about balancing these five different energies to stay healthy.
