THE FIVE SEASONS

The Chinese five element system is an ancient way of looking at the human body, human personalities, the environment and much more. Wood, fire, earth, metal and water are viewed as the primary natural elements.

Below is a simple chart to give you an idea of natural cycles that the body and the emotions evolves through, during various phases in a twelve month period. It is my hope that you will be able to understand further how I approach the body's phases with foods, herbs, essential oils, supplementation and lifestyle. Also below are Young Living products for keeping the five elements in balance in your body and life.

Learning More About the Five Seasons
I often include references to the five seasons in my weekly newsletters. For more information, please join our mailing list through the box in the upper left hand corner of each page. Each newsletter features knowledge and possible helpful product information, essential oils and lifestyle tips, diet information to support you through the PHASES. You can see by the chart above possible experiences that a person may have because of stress in hollow and solid organs. It is through knowledge and experiences that we can make the best choices for the highest good of our health and lifestyle.

For additional information about the five seasons and personality types is available on Living Arts Originals website. Learn more about the five elements.
