The Wood Element's Influence on Anger and Frustration

Explore the profound connection between the wood element and our wellbeing. Learn how balancing this element can bring calmness, creativity, and abundance into our lives, as opposed to anger and frustration when in disharmony.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine the Wood Element is linked to the emotion of Anger, this medical system has been around for over 3,500 years. The primary emotions are: fear, anger, joy, anxiety and sorrow (sadness). According to the five element theory, each emotion is associated with a pair of organs in the body and is linked to one of five elements: water, wood, fire, earth or metal, also known as the five phases or virtues.

Excess of an emotion can cause disease in the associated organ. The elements are interconnected, so that an imbalance in one will cause disharmony in another.

At its core, the wood element symbolises abundance. Much like nature's ceaseless waves and the refreshing rain showers, tapping into our inner wood element allows the flow of life's abundance through us. It's a connection to the generous energy that surrounds us.

The wood element embodies a duality of emotions—expanded, it sparks creativity and inner vision; contracted, it manifests as frustration, anger, rage and stress.

As we embrace the wood element within us, we open doors to a life rich in abundance, creativity, and calmness. Let kindness be our antidote to anger, and may the dance of the wood element guide us towards a harmonious existence.
