Introduction
The Five Elements, known as Wu Xing (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), form the foundation of Taoist philosophy and traditional Chinese metaphysics. Their influence reaches every aspect of life, from health and emotions to destiny and fortune. In modern spiritual practice, Five Elements crystal bracelets are cherished tools for harmonizing energy, attracting luck, and restoring balance.
The Meaning of the Five Elements in Taoism
Taoism teaches that all things in the universe are composed of and influenced by the dynamic interplay of the Five Elements.
-
Wood symbolizes growth, creativity, and new beginnings.
-
Fire represents passion, transformation, and vitality.
-
Earth stands for stability, nourishment, and abundance.
-
Metal is associated with clarity, precision, and inner strength.
