Harmony of the Five Elements and the Poetry of Crystals: The Art of Choosing Stones in Resonance with Nature
share
・Introduction: The rhythm of the universe woven by the five elements
The five elements, a profound Eastern wisdom, explains the cycles of nature through five essences, from the budding of spring to the silence of winter. Wood, fire, earth, metal, and water — these are not merely classifications but the very breath of the universe. Our bodies, minds, and even the crystals we hold in our hands are all part of this magnificent harmony.
・Dance of the Five Elements: The dance of life woven by the five energies
Gold (kon / kin) — Purifying breath
The metallic quality, like the crisp autumn air, symbolizes refined aesthetics and intelligence. It represents the pure energy of discarding the unnecessary and discerning the true essence.
Wood - the breath of life
Like young leaves rustling in the spring breeze, Wood represents all beginnings. Growth, expansion, and flexibility — the energy that supports new challenges and life transitions.

Water – Wisdom of the Deep
Like the quiet flow of winter, the water element is the realm of the subconscious and intuition. It harbors a flexible wisdom that changes shape while opening up new paths.
Fire - the flame of passion
The fire element, burning like the midsummer sun, is the power of creativity and transformation, a cleansing energy that brings passion, joy, and rebirth through destruction.
Do (soil) - the heart of the earth
Earth, which governs the changing of the seasons, symbolizes nourishment and stability. Like Mother Earth, it nurtures everything and has the power to shape reality.

・Know your five elements: Dialogue with your element
Your five elements can be determined from your date of birth. The easiest way is to look at the last digit of your birth year.
