The Purpose of the Five Elements
Report
Over the intervening millennia, humanity has gradually
lost its sensitivity to the world of vibration (such as Chi), as we have
become more concerned with material development, and as our biological
conditions have become more clouded and insensitive. Humans are born and
nursed in an environment which is strongly influenced by the energy flow
(e.g. Chi, magnetic force) on the Earth, as well as from other planets
and celestial bodies. The Four Pillars (Tzu Ping) is one of the theories
in Chinese
Astrology which calculates the expected effect of the environment, including
celestial bodies, on an individual. This report, based on the Four Pillars,
provides an analysis of your Five Elements and a description of
the characteristics
of your organs. This report also suggests a list of foods which will help
balance the energy within yourself. Once you are aware of the quality and
quantity of the Five Elements you possess as well as the status of your
organs, it is conceivable that you have a better chance of becoming more
balanced and harmonious. You can acquire the ability to mold your own life
style to fit your desires and ambitions with these specific attributes
to work with.
The theory of the Four Pillars has originated from the I Ching which contains
the principles of change that describe how nature works and how heaven
and its laws are manifested on earth. The Four Pillars works in a similar
way according to the principles in I Ching. The information in this report
may not be manifested in the present, but as with the I Ching, the tendencies
may show a pattern which manifests themselves in the future. The patterns can
be altered by an individual who meditates for a long time, abuses his/her
body extensively, or is under prolonged influence of drugs or stress. Keep
in mind that this report is for informational purposes. It is NOT a medical
advice.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine there are two major influences,
pre-natal and post-natal. Pre-natal influences reflect the constitutional
or birth condition of a person. Post-natal influences include lifestyle,
for example, diet, exercise, emotional condition, work and environmental
factors. These two influences interact and influence each other.
The enclosed analysis reveals the Pre-natal condition; it is designed to
identify the constitutional energetic condition and potential health
conditions. To obtain a complete understanding of a person's health condition
an evaluation by a professional healthcare practitioner should be performed;
in this way pre-natal and post-natal conditions can be integrated and a
complete evaluation performed.

I Astrology Chart
The Four Pillars calculate the expected result
from the interaction between your energy and the environment. The result
of these combined energies will influence your personality, fate, health
and other aspects of your ordinary life. This report will deal primarily
with the aspect of health and secondarily with the aspects of emotion and
personality. The first pillar (read from right to left) represents the
energy you have inherited from the year you were born, the second from
your birth month or season, the third from your birthday, and the fourth
from your birth time. The following astrology chart is derived from your
birth date:

The chart represents the status of your energy,
emotions, health and personality when you were born. The top row lists
the ten Celestial Stems and the bottom lists the twelve
Horary Branches. Each Stem and Branch consists of Yin/Yang
and Five Elements. There are nine Branches having minor elements
(smaller amount) which are called hidden Elements.
They are listed after the major element and shown in lighter font.
These Stems and Branches are translated to their Five
Elements equivalents (translation table is listed in reference 8). The
following analysis is based on this chart.
II The Elements Chart
A fundamental part of Asian philosophy is the
inter-relationships among the five basic elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal
and Water. There is no dominant element. Like Yin and Yang they are forever
dependent upon and equal to one another. They are linked by the chain of
life which brings about their very existence. Each has its own place and
function. Even in the human body, these five elements maintain their reciprocal
relationships. The elements rule the major organs of the body. For example,
Earth element is the essential energy to nursery the stomach, spleen and
pancreas (see section VII for more details). An imbalance of energy will
manifest itself in terms of negative emotion and deteriorated health. This
section analyzes the distribution of your energy.
To maintain harmony within the body, the amount of
the Five Elements need to be in delicate balance. Each of the Five Elements
has power over another element, yet its power can be negated by the element
that has power over it.
An excess of Wood element will have an extensive effect on your Gall Bladder
and Liver.
Harmony the Five Elements within the body provides
a healthy environment for organs to work properly. An energy imbalance
will put your organs in unnecessary stress and affect your health in the
long run. The next section provides a detail analysis of the energy of
each organ.
III The Health Chart
Humans inherit energy from the environment
when they are born. The human body is an image of the universe in terms
of energy. Part of the energy is from planets and celestial bodies,
which comprise the ten Celestial Stems in your astrology chart. The other
part of energy is from Earth, which comprises the twelve Horary
Branches in your chart.
The combined effect of your Stems
and Branches on organs is expressed in relative amount of Five Elements.
This table states the status of each
organ when you were born. The ten organs are divided into five groups.
Each organ within a group shares the total amount of life force of the
group with the other organ. It is desirable for each group to have an equal
distribution of energy. All the parts of the body are
connected to form the whole; the parts should not be treated individually.
All organs should function in a harmonious integrated manner.
An excess of or deficiency condition of
life force in a group will cause an imbalance
of energy in each member. Imbalance of life force in a group will affect
the other groups through a chain reaction among organs. Each group has
a strong connection with a sense organ. For instance, the sense organ for
the Gall Bladder and Liver group is the eyes. Imbalance of energy in an
organ will manifest itself as sickness, emotion, change of taste and impairing
the related sense organ. All of these effects are referred to as the associated
conditions of the corresponding organ.
The chart indicates that your Small Intestine, Heart, Large Intestine and Lung are relatively weak.
The chart also indicates that your Gall Bladder and Liver have an excess of energy.
They have the tendency to create an imbalance of energy among these organs.
An organ pair with excess or deficiency of energy will cause the
associated taste, emotion, virtue and sickness to become more active in
comparison with other emotion and sickness. As a result, you may like
or dislike the associated taste (for example, salty), emotion may be out
of control frequently, or the associated sickness may occur more often
as you age. The following list contains the associated conditions (taste,
emotion, virtue, sickness) and energy for the above organs. Observe these
conditions as an indication that the corresponding organ pair is in disharmony
and requires attention.

Although no one can change your inherent energy
character within each organ, the energy can be brought closer to harmony
by changing the quality and quantity of the energy you receive through
the following methods. The first method is to have a diet which helps strengthen
your organs and energy. The second method is meditation. Assimilate and
refine your energy during meditation. The last but not the least is to
utilize the environmental energy to help you.
-
Study the
five element food chart
posted on Tao Garden web site.
The chart identifies the taste, energy and the function(s) for each item in
the list. Plan a diet such that:
(1a)
Food are selected to strength the weak organs:
Small Intestine, Heart, Large Intestine and Lung
.
They should have a warming or neutral effect on these organs.
(1b) Also select
food which have a cooling or sedating effect on the organs:
Gall Bladder and Liver
because they already have excess of energy.
Consume less food which may have warming effect on these organs.
-
During meditation, you should do the creation cycle to enhance the amount
of energy which associate with the organs lacking the energy. The following
list contains the associated element(s) and organs:
Fire for Small Intestine and Heart, Metal for Large Intestine and Lung.
Also do the control cycle to
reduce the amount of energy which associate with the organs having
excess energy. The following list contains the associated
element(s) and organs: Wood for Gall Bladder and Liver.
After the completion of the above cycle(s), refine and assimilate
your energy by circulating the Microcosmic Orbit several times.
After meditation, do the Six Healing Sounds exercise. The Six Healing Sounds
has a balancing effect on organs. Practice more on the Six Healing Sounds
(a) for the weak organs to warm them up and (b) for the organs with excess
energy to cool them down.
-
Energy in the environment can be used to help balance your energy.
Object tends to attract similar energy,
for instance, by placing a fish tank in the living room will introduce
more Water energy in your living room or living nearby a lake will provide
a lot of Water energy.
To supplement the deficient element, you can place object(s)
with Fire and Metal energy in your living area or live near natural object(s)
which can provide Fire and Metal energy.
To reduce the amount of your excess element, you should minimize
the number of item with the Wood energy in your home.
Objects with these energy are listed below:
Wood: outdoor tree, indoor plant, wooden statue, green color
painting or tapestry, and forest.
Fire: flame, lighted candle, red color painting or tapestry,
hot spring and volcano.
Metal: brass statue, metal blind, and white or gold color
painting or tapestry.
You can follow any of the methods described
in the above section, but it is more effective to pursue more than
one. Set a plan to practice these methods but do not change your diet,
meditation and environment drastically. Phase in the changes required by
your plan, especially with the diet, over a period of 6 months to one year.
Constantly adjust your plan according to the result of your health and
the energy changes in each year described in section IV.
