The Five Elements combines East Asian philosophies with modern science and organizational design to reveal systems within a context of change. This framework provides a means for us to identify the underlying patterns and threads that weave us together so that we can help ourselves and others.

The elements – Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal – distill hundreds of physical and metaphysical characteristics, including colors, seasons, tastes, parts of the body, emotions, lifecycles and directions. If the elements are working in harmony, there is health and well-being. If they aren’t, we need only to determine which elements are out of balance and employ solutions to restore equilibrium.
