Donna Eden – Living the Five Elements

Have you ever been told you’re too sensitive or too angry or too withdrawn by your loved one as you’re trying really hard to fit the mold of a “good partner”.

Or maybe you’ve struggled with the same health issue over and over again? Maybe with your gut? Your immune system? Your heart? And nothing you try makes it go away completely.

Or maybe you tried the latest diet trend only to find that even though it worked for “everyone else,” it left you feeling sluggish and you didn’t shed a pound?

The list goes on and on about ways we are expected to be and respond like “everyone else.”

Can you think of a time when you didn’t measure up to someone’s expectations? Or your body didn’t respond like it was supposed to?

Think about how often we are living as if what’s best for one of us is what’s best for all of us.

We are all expected to flow through the same life milestones (school /career /marriage /house /kids /retirement) on a similar timeline.

We should all eat breakfast because it’s the “most important meal of the day.”

We should all go to bed at “reasonable hour” and get up early because “the early bird gets the worm.”

We should all eat a certain way, love a certain way, exercise a certain way… the “right way”.

What happens when the “right way” isn’t right for you? 

What if those “one-size-fits-all” solutions don’t work for you?

It can leave you feeling like an outsider, like something is wrong with you. Why can’t you just be like everyone else and fit in?

It can leave you feeling hopeless because you’ve run out of options and now you just have to “live with it. – whatever “it” is. It could be pain. A disgruntled partner. A critical boss. An unfulfilling job.

Life is a lot harder when you go against your core nature.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. There is a way, a system, that helps you recognize who you are at your core and live from that place of authenticity.  

That system is The Five Elements.

Everyone Marches To the Beat of Their Own Drummer.

Over  2,000 years ago, the Chinese discovered that people deeply resonated with one of five naturally occurring elements: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal. Donna Eden, who can see subtle energy, has confirmed that their understanding of these Five Elements reflected a vital eternal truth.

This rudimentary energy leaves its energetic imprint on just about everything in your life. Donna likens it to an energetic rhythm that runs through all your organs and energy systems. It influences how you walk, talk, work, and think. It underpins how you behave socially. It determines what time of day is most productive for you and what food is best for you. It can even shed light on what health issues might plague you and how you can address them.

Identifying your element is one of the most important steps you can take for understanding your energetic profile.

It can soften your inner critic.

• What if you discover that you flow through life like water and there’s a reason why it’s so hard to meet all the expected timelines.
• What if you discover that you do your best work in the wee hours of the morning because that’s when your element is most active.
• Or how about giving yourself permission to have a lot of alone time because, at your core, you know you need it to feel at your best.

And identifying the elements of others is key to transforming challenging relationships.

It can soften your outer critic.

• What if it turns out that your partner’s element means he/she tends to withdraw or go inward. Would it soften your judgment or hurt to know that’s just how they are and it’s nothing personal. (We’ll teach you ways to bridge those differences in class.)
• What if your child’s difficulty in adjusting to things other children seem to handle but it’s due to his element instead of a “character flaw.” Imagine the permission you can give your children to BE themselves when you see them through the lens of their element.

And just imagine how you could use this knowledge to help with your health – just as Traditional Chinese doctors have done for centuries.

There are reasons why certain treatments work for some people and not for others. The Five Elements are intrinsically linked to our internal organs, and this knowledge is invaluable when it comes to staying healthy.

The possibilities are endless as this system touches almost every part of life.

That’s why we decided to call this 5-Week Online Course “Living The Five Elements”. Once you learn these concepts and techniques, the applications are endless.

And life truly does become easier because you flow and align with the elements instead of work against them.

This Knowledge Can Not Only Help You Navigate Challenges But Also Help You Avoid Them

When you discover your element and those of the people around you, it’s as if you discovered a long-buried map to understanding human behavior.

With this map in your hands, you can make sense of things that always baffled you. Like why one friend can so easily get under your skin while your other friend can do no wrong. Or why you hate to meditate and your partner loves it.  Or why your child has a cough that lasts all winter while your niece seems to always have belly trouble. The list goes on and on.

And as with any map, you can use this knowledge to navigate life so you can sail through the rough waters with much greater ease.

And each time you identify the element, the light bulb goes off in your head and you totally shift how you see the situation.

Now it all makes sense. Now, it’s not personal.

And now, it’s not even your fault. That’s just the energy of the element playing out in the persons’ behavior.

But what’s awesome is that the Five Elements don’t just help you understand behavior and give everyone a pass.

In this 5-Week Online Course, you’ll go deep into the Five Element theory so you can learn ways to anticipate and influence behavior.

It’s not just about explaining behavior – it’s about learning ways to bring better balance and harmony among all Five Elements so your primary element  becomes more of a strength and less of a liability.

It’s not just about explaining health issues – it’s about receiving customized techniques and tools that work for your particular element.

In fact, it’s packed with practical exercises that will help you flow with all the elements.
