Traditional Chinese Medicine 5 Element theory is a beautiful cyclical supportive and regulative theory. Today ( in our 65 minute Yin practice) we are moving through that cycle in it's entirety - beginning with Spring/Wood element and moving through the year and the cycles to end in Winter/Water element.
This is a wonderful way to connect to the natural cycles of our mind, body, and environment and honor their roles in our lives. Savor the harmony, the transitions, the sweetness of the 5 elements.
