A five-element framework for exploring emotions and wellbeing

Angela Hicks presents emotions through concepts drawn from Chinese medicine, linking anger, fear, sadness, worry and other feelings with the five elements—fire, water, wood, earth and metal—and associated personality types. Case studies and questionnaires guide the book’s element-type approach, while its practical side is organized around mental and physical exercises and an action plan. The methods named span Qi Gong, NLP, Gestalt therapy, focusing and visualization, bringing together Eastern and Western practices. The book frames emotional patterns as an area for self-awareness and offers tools intended to help readers recognize and work with feelings they see as affecting their health.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in five-element ideas and Chinese-medicine philosophy
  • Readers seeking structured self-reflection through questionnaires and case studies
  • People interested in wellbeing exercises drawing on Qi Gong, visualization and related approaches

Book overview

The Chinese described the emotions as being a cause of ill health as early as 200 BC. It is now universally recognized that anger, guilt, joy, jealousy, fear etc have a strong effect on our body.

The book clearly explains the link between the elements, the body's organs and our feelings. Using the elements and philosophy behind Chinese medicine, this book shows you how to:

  • Transform Anger
  • Conquer Fear
  • Release Sadness
  • Break the Worry Habit
  • Enhance Self Awareness

Each Element - fire, water, wood, earth and metal has a different personality type associated with it. Healing Your Emotions takes you through case studies and questionnaires to reveal your Element type, and then offers exercises, both mental and physical, which will help you identify and deal with the emotions which stop you being healthy.

It uses an action plan which borrows from both Eastern and Western techniques:

  • Qi Gong
  • NLP
  • Gestalt therapy and focussing
  • Visualisation
