ABOUT FIVE ELEMENT
Five Element acupuncture refers to the five phases or seasons: Wood (Spring), Fire (Summer), Earth (Late Summer/Harvest), Metal (Autumn), Water (Winter). These are found both in nature and within the body.
In yoga, five elements are found within the chakra system: Muladhara/Root (Earth), Svadisthana/Sacral (Water), Manipura/Navel (Fire), Anahata/Heart (Air) and Vishuddhi/Throat (Ether). The highest two chakras (Ajna/ Third Eye and Sahasrara/Crown) are of a more spiritual nature and considered to be beyond the elements.
