Fire 🔥 Element by Gye Bennetts

The ancient Chinese believed that nature and humans are deeply connected, both made up of five elemental energies.

Fire embodies the vibrant energy of summer—a time when we naturally open up, gather with friends, and savor the joys of holidays and relaxation.

In our lives, Fire represents our ability to feel emotions fully and flow between sadness, happiness, and joy in a healthy, balanced way. It is also connected to four meridians in our bodies, each with a special role in shaping who we are:

🔥 Heart: The center of our being, the Heart helps us feel love and maintain a deep sense of self. It’s the seat of our inner sovereignty.
🔥 Heart Protector (Pericardium): Like a gentle shield, it guards us from life’s emotional bumps and bruises.
🔥 Triple Heater (San Jiao): This caretaker keeps our body temperature balanced through the seasons and helps us find emotional harmony—neither too “hot” nor too “cold.”
🔥 Small Intestine: Just as it separates nutrients from waste in our body, it guides us in sorting what truly matters in life, letting us release what we no longer need to thrive.

Fire reminds us of the warmth, joy, and connection we share with others—and the importance of nurturing these gifts within ourselves. ❤️

Spring is the time of the wood element. 🌸

The wood element is the part of us that moves forward and creates change in our lives 🌿🌳🌴

Spring and Wood! 🌱🌳🌼

Spring is the beginning of the season cycle, a time of birth and new beginnings. It is also the energy of the element Wood.

This is the energy that brings forth new growth, that pushes the new grass through the snow, the new branches out from old wood, produces new leaves. It does this so nature can take in the nourishment it needs to flourish.

As in nature the Wood energy is part of the energy of our body - the acupuncture meridians of the Liver and Gall Bladder.
Given that each meridian has a job in the body’s kingdom, the Gall Bladder meridian is "The Upright Official Who Excels in Judgment" and the Liver is "The Official in Charge of Planning".

These Wood meridians give us the energy...
to have new ideas,
to move forward,
to have plans,
to change who we are,
to be assertive,
to make decisions,
to have vision,
to have hope for our future.

Spring is also the time of hope; this season bursts forward with optimism, offering change after the quiet, still time of winter.

Each seed and sapling is following its own part of nature's plan. Think of the wood of a tree, it gives nature structure and shape but does not let anything hold it back as it drives forward.

5 element acupuncture can increase your energy and vitality ready to make the most of this Spring energy!

When we grow up in childhood trauma, we get through it via magical thinking, hope, and not thinking about a perpetrator's behavior. ⁠
⁠
This crucial survival strategy keeps a child going through the impossible, such as having a narcissistic parent. ⁠
⁠
That strategy was a dream that the abusive person would change and see us, and thinking that things getting safer was just around the corner. ⁠
⁠
As adults, we are often still stuck in similar hopeful thinking, which was a setup from childhood. ⁠
⁠
It takes a lot of re-parenting work for our inner adult to take over and make decisions on behalf of the inner child, who survived by thinking of the potential versus the reality. So it's a battle. ⁠
⁠
But it is very healing for our inner child to see the inner adult take a big risk and get out of something for their benefit.
