Through centuries of observation the sages of Five Element theory, a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine, taught that the outer landscape of the natural world reveals much about the nature of our inner landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Encoded within the five seasons of Spring, Summer, Harvest, Fall and Winter, lies a wisdom designed to create and support balance and harmony. The five fundamental elements of Five Element theory resonate in our bodies as the core emotions of Anger, Joy, Sympathy, Grief, and Fear. Like the working components of a fine clock they comprise an elegant system of continuous movement, growth, and transformation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Weaving her deeply personal stories with Five Element wisdom, Melody A Scout teaches us that by developing intimate relationships with our core emotions--the unique vibrations that connect us to both our bodies and the Earth--we can effectively adapt and respond to life's challenges.
