Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Stephen, what type of patient gets annoyed-off if the practitioner is five minutes late? Any of the elements could get annoyed if the practitioner is late. Metal as they are not honouring the patient and their time, Earth because the practitioner has something more important to do and does not seem to care enough, Water because things are now unsure and some moved the safety of the boundary, Wood because the practitioner has not done what they said they would and it is " not right " and Fire because it is " alright and fine that you are late " even if it hurts a little. Also maybe because it is OK to be annoyed if the practitioner is late! I want to acknowledge the comments about my last post when I was talking about an Earth person wanting to be the centre of the conversation. Each of the element types has parts of them that are " interesting " and real gifts they bring to the world. I am Earth and have had to learn some things about my self that I didn't like and with constitutional treatments those parts of me have become less dominate. What would the world be like without the drive and determination of Water people, the depth of connection and spiritual searching of Metal, the deep loving and care of Earth, the leadership and vision of Wood and the fun and heart connection of Fire. No one is better or worse but part of the flow of the Five Elements within us, All the best, Gye Ph. + 61(0) 2 99299329 Five Element Acupuncture Information Site www.5element.com.au Five Element Seminars www.5element.com.au/seminars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
