Another teaching from Chinese philosophy is that everything in the world is comprised of natural elements working in concert with each other. There are 8 natural elements and human beings are a balance of them all. An imbalance in our elements can also manifest as imbalances in our lives. The 8 elements are: fire, water, air, metal, earth, wood, force, and nature.
In the same way that our natural state is to have our soul fully integrated within our bodies, our natural state is to have all our elements in balance. Once we have found out what element(s) need to be addressed, we identify the stuck energies keeping them out of balance and neutralize them.
In practice:
a. Once you have determined that one or more elements are out of balance, identify how many and which ones need to be addressed.
b. You may address all the identified elements together. Identify and neutralize the stuck energies keeping them out of balance. (Once again, this process will likely lead to a life event at the root.)
