5 Element Theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine
FLOW
"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like"
(Lao Tzu) "Enjoy life as a flow of change, chaos and beauty" (Leo Babauta) “Flow with whatever is happening and let your mind be free. Stay centred by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.” (Chuang Tzu) |
FLEXIBILITY
"Be flexible, when we are rigid, we will often break. Be like water, flowing around obstacles rather than trying to push them out of your way"
(Leo Babauta) "What is strong and rigid is snapped and laid low. What is flexible and soft will always prevail" (Lao Tzu) "Whatever you fight strengthens, what you resist, persists" (Eckhart Tolle) |
PLANNING & DECISION MAKING

"It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan"
(Eleanor Roosevelt) "At the centre of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want" (Lao Tzu) "The truth of the matter is you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it" (Norman Schwarzkopf) |

"Everything happens for a reason and a purpose and it serves you"
(Tony Robbins) "In fear one becomes closed - in love one opens up. In fear one doubts, in love one trusts" (Osho) "Whatever you accept completely, will take you to peace, including the acceptance of your non-acceptance" (Eckhart Tolle) |
PERCEPTION ("SEEING")
"People only see what they are prepared to see"
(Ralph W Emerson) "Life isn’t about what happens to us. It’s about how we perceive what happens to us" (Unknown) "The world reflects what you need to see, not only what you want to see" (Buddha) "I know I am not seeing things as they are, I'm seeing things as I am" (Laurel Lee) |
