Have you ever seen a green shoot pushing it’s way out of a crack in the sidewalk? Or a gnarly old tree clinging to a cliff side? This tenacity and determination to grow is the principle of Wood Element.


The ancient Taoist felt that we are at one with the natural world and so we are governed by the same principles as the natural world. They organized all of life into five elements: Earth, Wood, Water, Metal and Fire.
Wood element represents all green and growing life. If you put a plant in a window, it will naturally grow toward the light. A tree root will push it is way through rock to reach water.
Wood element in human beings is expressed in much the same way. We naturally want to move toward what is nourishing and right for us on all levels.
Wood Element is most active in Spring and it’s energy can be felt as the drive to push out and up into the light. To learn more www.healingmeditations.net/blog
