Over a decade ago, I was introduced to the 5 Chinese Elements and which one I am most aligned to based on my personality. I aligned with 2 -- Earth and Wood. It wasn't a surprise. Today, during a NeverDoneBefore session with Mirjam Leunissen, I was able to look at an old learning in a new way. She invited me to forget what I had learned previously about "my" element and instead explore the 4 elements of earth, water, fire, and air through my body. We explored different movements that aligned with each of the characteristics of the elements, and made reflections on the ones that felt most natural and easy for us. Again, I was drawn to Earth. What that says about me is that I am supportive, dependable, calm, and stable. It can also mean being averse to change and fear of losing control. (Not really the first one, but perhaps the second.) Thirty minutes after the session ended, I was on the massage table having my back and shoulder worked on. "Lache. Detends-toi." -- Let go. Loosen yourself. Another sign of my earthly qualities coming up in my body. My massage practitioner and I had a good laugh. Thank you, Mirjam Leunissen, for another great session, where I was able to re-discover parts of myself in new ways though my body. Read Deeper Not Faster
