It’s a very ancient chinese system…

…which dates from the Han dynasty in the second or first century BCE, and called them the Wuxing which directly translates as the “Five Phases” or more accurately “Five Processes.”

The ancient Chinese observed the patterns and cycles in nature, observed how they related to our organs, our personalities and the types of emotions we have and over many thousands of years’ worth of observations refined and connected these things into five categories, five elements that interrelate and connect with one another in a cycle.

These five elements correlate to things in nature, and because we are a part of Nature, Nature expresses itself through us. Some people have a naturally dominant wood element face (strong eyebrows, jaw, square hairline, dominant browbone), others metal, and so on (please read the blog for demonstrations!) These Five Elements can also appear in our birth date patterns, the system that we use is called Nine Star Ki.

But not only do these Five Elements express themselves as character, but also as territories or departments in a person’s life. For example, Water element is the department of rest, how well someone trusts. Wood is exercise and work. If there are problems in trusting there will be problems in resting, and so there are problems in Water element. And, of course, there are naturally ways to use the 5E to heal this issue.

Our prime work here, as your 5E guides, is to help you understand this ancient system, apply it, see it working in your life and be able to read them in other people.

Though commonly placed last, we thoroughly believe that Water element should be placed first (for reasons will passionately explain to you later in your 5E journey). So that’s where we will begin. Please click below to receive brief explanations of each singular element.
