If you’ve listened to this podcast for any length of time, you have no doubt heard us discuss the five elements. A corner stone of virtually all spiritual modalities and schools of eastern thought, the five elements — earth, metal, water, wood, and fire — help us to make sense of our inner and outer environments, providing us with insights and tools to shift the energies within our own space and lives. Today we are sharing a five element adjustment for harmony that can easily be done in your home or office.

We cover:

-An introduction to the five elements

-The energetic qualities of each of the five elements

-How these qualities can be brought in to our homes and personal spaces

-A five element adjustment for harmony

And much more
