Many people feel off-kilter when the seasons change, and don’t know why or how to cope. If that sounds like you, I have some great news.
This very problem was recognized — and solved — thousands of years ago.
Nobody observed and appreciated these quarterly changes better than the Ancient Chinese. Their philosophy of the Five Elements not only explains a wide array of phenomena, from cosmic cycles to the interaction and relationship between the body’s internal organs and mental psyche, but it also helps you grow and flow with the shifts in your body and physical surroundings. So if you understand this philosophy, it can make your transition to any new season both easy and rewarding.
