About this ebook
The ancient Taoist philosophers used the metaphor of the Five Elements, Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, to explain the relationship, interaction, and ongoing change of everything in the Universe—physical, mental, and spiritual.
The Taoist Five Elements : Bare Basics defines—using text, photographs, and graphics—the Taoist perspective of: colors, shapes for Taoist Face Reading (Mien Shiang), shapes for environments (Feng Shui), directions, seasons, climates, expressions, senses, sense organs, tastes, yin and yang organs, emotions, relationships, cycles, and natural orders.
