Nature
is
a Divine Mystery that holds many pleasures, while
teaching mankind
about
cycles. By observing and patterning nature’s cycles
we can recognize
the unique
cycle each human possesses. Following cycles of
change allows us to
honor
nature’s cycles, as well as our own. Furthermore,
these cycles relate
to the
elements for patterning healing or disturbing
arousing disease in
mankind
fostered at the physical body level. In addition,
emotions respond to
all
cycles as they begin vast levels to dismiss negative
emotions that have
the
potential for illness or disease, as well as retain
them. Meanwhile
positive
emotions are harmonious to all cycles as they
function with the subtle
anatomy
in assisting to recognize and honor each
individual’s rhythm in nature
and
mankind. Mankind
has an energy field with a distinct vibration that
regulates a rhythm
with the
elements.
It is apparent that five elements, mentioned
and taught in
traditional Chinese Medicine, are fundamental
matter as well as energy.
- Water-
liquid, fluid, solution.
- Fire- heat, combustion.
- Wood- expansion in all
directions.
- Metal-
solid, congelation, mouldability.
- Earth- nutrition
|
WINTER
Element-
Water.
Winter
is associated with storage and embodies a
seed. It consists of short
hours for
light.
|
 |
These
five elements symbolize different directions
of movement:
- Water- downward.
- Fire- upward.
- Wood- expansion in all
directions.
- Metal-
contractive, inward.
- Earth- neutral or stable.
|
SPRING
Element-
Wood.
The
association of birth allows spring to embody
the power for new life.
Day light
hours become longer in communicating
assertiveness for life to push
onward with
perseverance. |

|
SUMMER
Element-
Fire.
The
growth associated with summer embodies a
rhythm of fruition. Daylight
hours
have grown long in order to communicate
radiant light to ignite the
heat of
optimism. |

|

|
FALL
Element-
Metal.
The
association of a harvest is embodied in
completion. This complete
embodiment of
faith is in that the dying of the old makes
way for the new with a
vision of
standards that need to occur, while being
highly motivated with peace
and
attainment of each cycle.
|

|
INDIAN SUMMER
Element-
Earth.
The
center of rhythm is embodied and oriented
toward transitions from one
season to
the next. This late season is associated with
transformation, which in
turn
allows for cycles to continue in the ease they
need within a rhythm to
balance. |
|

|
Each
of
these
cycles and rhythms teach mankind to go on in any
‘death’ of the
body,
mind and/or spirit by continually providing examples
of seeds, new
life,
fruition, transitions and completion. This allows
mankind to identify
the
lessons in life are patterns in primary behavior
imprinted by a season.
In
summary, the energy of these rhythms or seasons blend
with emotions to
create a
core cycle that influences actions/re-actions to the
manner in which
you take
care of yourself, others and nature. This allows for an
understanding
how the
north-south-east-west is instructed by God’s initial
‘word’ commands
the
universe through the five senses.
Let no
fear rule your love:
Listen,
but not with your ears;
Feel,
but not with a touch;
Taste,
but not with your tongue;
Look,
but not with your eyes;
Smell,
but not with your nose.
Keeping
your heart center open will not let the doors to the
senses shut and
the heart
is where the door to love is first opened.
