WEEKLY ELEMENT THEMES: (The first week was April 28th)
Each of the five elements relates to different organs, behavioral traits and emotions, and offers a system for physical, emotional and energetic healing.
Week 1: Water Element is related, on a physical level, to our kidney and bladder. Through studying this element, we aim at helping transform emotions of fear and shock into patience, calmness and wisdom— reminding you to continue dreaming, even at times like these. On another level, this element is also associated with our vitality and our connection with our roots.
Week 2: Wood Element is related to our liver and gall-bladder; we strive at transforming the anger and frustration we experience into kindness and generosity. The element of wood on an energetic level is related to growth, strategic planning and creativity.
Week 3: Fire Element is related to our liver and gall-bladder; we will strive at transforming the anger and frustration we experience into kindness and generosity. During this week, through working on the orgasmic, sensual ‘here and now’ energy of the fire element, we will guide you in transforming emotions of hate and cruelty into gratitude, love, passion, forgiveness and joy.
Week 4: Earth Element will be explored through exercises targeting our splint, pancreas and stomach—the body organs associated with this element. We will help you connect with the ‘mother earth’ energy of the element and grow away from feelings of stress, guilt, and habits of overthinking—and evolve closer to your personal balance and stability.
Week 5: Metal Element will be discussed in the final seminar, which is connected physically to our lungs and large intestine. The energy of ‘letting go’ associated with this element will aid us in transforming feelings of melancholy, grief and sadness into acceptance, beauty and divine providence—enriching our trust on the idea of a higher justice and helping us find the good in difficult times.
