Enrich and Protect Your Health
Learn How To Use Food As Medicine To Balance the Elements and Energy You Were Born With
Energy Analysis is a Chinese system of natal chart reading based on the five elements, wherein we ascertain your Body Constitution, which is like your internal landscape or climate, and the interactions of your elements. This allows us to understand the state of your health, find the root cause of your health concerns, and know how to create better balance within. Through this system, you will gain a clear picture of your internal energies and learn how these factors can affect your health, mental state, emotions, and personality. Once you understand your Body Constitution and methods for keeping your elements balanced, the food you eat can be used as medicine for the rest of your life.

The Body's Energy System and the Five-Element Theory
The body's energy system plays an extremely important role in the maintenance of our health and our very life, yet it has been largely ignored by Western medical science. Although it cannot be seen, all of us at one time or another have felt the movement or sense of blockage or roughness of our energy flow. Via the energy system, all organs, body systems, and functions are interrelated; nothing operates entirely independently. Oriental cultures see our bodies as very much connected with the universe in which we live. Our bodies are a microcosm of the universe, as we are all created with the same elements. The energies which allow us to breathe, to move, to talk, and which allow all of our organs and senses to function are the same as those which allow seeds to sprout, trees to grow, fire to burn, rocks to form, rain to fall, and wind to blow. Over five thousand years ago, medicine practitioners in China, Korea, and Japan began to explore and research theories relating our energies to those in the surrounding universe. Eventually they developed a system of five basic energies, or elements, which they identified as earth, gold, water, wood, and fire. In turn, they related each of these elements to one to one of our major organs. Thus the name "earth" describes the energy of the stomach and spleen; "gold" is the energy of the lungs and respiratory system; "water", the energy of the kidneys and urinary system; "wood" the energy of the liver, and "fire" the energy of the heart. These five names were chosen because they most closely describe the characteristics of each kind of energy. For example, our body's fire energy behaves in similar ways to fire: it is warm, dry, very active, and so on. Water energy is cool, damp, moves in a downward direction, can extinguish fire energy, and so on.
These early investigators also realized that the five energies exist in the air around us, their balance and proportions changing from morning to afternoon to evening, from day to night, from month to month, season to season, year to year. Eventually they developed accurate charts indicating their proportions in the air for every hour of every day, of every month, of every year. Throughout the Orient, books of these charts are readily available in bookstores.
For each category of year, month, day and hour, there are two Chinese characters — a total of eight in a natal chart. Each character is related to one of the five elements. In the last weeks before we are born most of us are equipped with healthy bodies, with all body parts and organs in place, ready to function. When we take our first breath of air, the proportion of the five elements in the air at that moment determines what proportion of the related element is received by each of our major organs.
If all five elements are in fairly equal proportions at that first breath, each of these organs receives a relatively equal proportion of energy. Sometimes one or more elements are in greater proportion than the others, or one or more may be virtually absent. Such excesses or deficiencies then affect not only the balance among our five major organs but also the health of the individual organs. Each of our major organs is also related to one sense organ: the liver is related to the eyes (sight), the kidneys to the ears (hearing), the stomach to the mouth (taste), the heart to the tongue (speech), and the lungs to the nose (smell). We can also understand how we came to have our particular personality and emotional patterns by understanding the elements. Each organ is also associated with an emotion which we also can work with through our elements, bringing more awareness and balance. Through this system, we can work with our elements to bring more balance to our physical, mental and emotional bodies, reconnecting with and rediscovering our body's intelligence which is already inherently there. We can also learn to become more sensitive to our body and to understand how our body is communicating to us through our symptoms, clarifying how we may take in what is truly appropriate and nourishing for our bodies.

How Can I Know My Body's Imbalances? Which Foods Will Create Optimum Health?
As you may have seen, an imbalance of the five elements can make us susceptible to physical illness and even emotional imbalance. It can cause us to have an unexplainable illness or lack of control over our emotions, a lack of clarity, of strength, of self-confidence. Things which may be troubling you or which you cannot understand about yourself can often be clearly explained by your energy patterns. The mystery and confusion can be removed and replaced by insight, new ways of change, and refreshing new perspectives on yourself. Only when the cause and source of your problems is revealed can truly effective solutions be found.
