Introducing the Water Element
Of all the Five Elements water is the hardest to truly know. Ruling the channels of the Kidney and Bladder housed in the back of the body, Water has a depth and an intangibility to it. Something that cannot ever be fully known or explored, held in your hands, or still long enough to understand.
Understanding Yin Yang
The chicken moves from the protective shell of the egg to a blind, hairless and defenseless bird in the nest. The newborn transitions from the darkness and familiarity of the womb to a strange world of gravity, touch, sound and breath. Woody stems become shoot covered boughs, pressed by the sun and wind, and at the mercy of every emerging insect. Through the grace of Spring and the movement of Yin to Yang we become new, but also tender, raw and exposed.
