Healing the Five Elements

Our thoughts are a subtle and powerful form of energy that come from the awareness we hold of ourselves. Each one ripples out into the universal matrix of energy, changing it in some way according to its quality and our conviction. In this way we each carry a responsibility for both the well-being of ourselves and of our planet.Through the integration of the five elements of traditional Chinese medicine and Raja Yoga meditation, this book shows a new way to rebalance body, soul and planet by tuning in with the five elements wood, fire, earth, metal and water and the turning seasons of our lives which they also represent.This is the key we can all possess to healing our relationship with the elements, both internally within the body and, externally in the outer world in which we all live.To those who seek alternative ways of understanding the universe, the interconnectedness between body, mind, spirit, the natural world and the divine, and the effect these all have on the way we think, feel and act, this book acts as a fascinating guide.Arnold Desser BA (Hons), CAc (China), PGCert MedEdScientific and Medical Advisor, The Janki Foundation for Spirituality in HealthcareNHS Primary Care practitioner of traditional Chinese medicineThe book is also a call to action. As we learn to reconnect with our inner natural resources, it becomes clear that we have both a responsibility and a duty to care for the larger natural systems in which we exist.Dr. Joanna Kitto, UK Co-ordinator for the Brahma Kumaris Environment InitiativeA fascinating insight into the world of Chinese medicine and the importance of taking individual responsibility for our lives.Mark Stone Investment Director
