Water is the Element that includes the Kidneys and Bladder.

The Five Elements is a philosophy of healing and life used in acupressure and acupuncture practices.  The Elements are Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth.  Symbolism is the easiest thing to learn, because it starts with what you know, and expands.

Jesus symbolized Love.

Of course the Water Element symbolizes the kidneys and bladder.  They take care of our Water.

Water nourishes Wood, which symbolizes structure and what sprouts in our lives.

Water controls Fire, which symbolizes our energy and defense systems, and our Heart Desire and Gut Wisdom.

But if Water stops moving forward, or retreats, it destroys Metal.  If you can’t see the symbolism of “rusting” then you are overthinking.  Slow down and feel it.

Metal symbolizes reflection on your life and your harvest (results).  The organs, large intestine and lungs, function to let go of what we don’t need, and inspire for more of what we desire.  

Water feels like gentle and continuous flowing, the path of least resistance, toward what inspires you to move.  Water can also feel frozen or paralyzed, or raging like a flood.

Metal symbolizes the wisdom that reflection on results, and continuously moving toward inspiration provide.  Like our tools and precious metals, Metal symbolizes value.  Wealth.

If forward movement stops, you get nothing.  If you retreat, you destroy the wisdom and wealth your life was created for.  And how silly.  Of course we were not created to run and hide in fear.  

Faith said, “You are a gift.”

I forgot what Faith, my Sunday school teacher told me, because real school told me, I am a bad boy.  And apparently, I take things too literally.  

I’ve always imagined that death would feel so lovely and peaceful.  I’d just be leaving a place that thought I was bad.  

Sure, there have been a few people that thought I felt good.  But the vast majority assured me that I was bad.  In fact, I’m pretty sure the people who loved me, felt they were bad too.  Or broken and not good enough.  We didn’t make it to love, because you have to love yourself to love another.

It was nice to be able to relate to other bad people, LOL, but when you try to love another when you don’t love yourself, you attract growth.   And growth can hurt like a Mother!

I loathed what I am.  A sensitive man.  I was paralyzed by the rules of our world, and I retreated into hiding for most of my life.  Then Appendicitis said, “dude, you can take some pain.  More than most, if it matters.”

Scleroderma followed on the heels of Appendicitis.  It said, “dude, you must accept your softness, or you will die.”

I call it my “origin story.”  Every super hero has one.

You can read it here.

That’s all there is to it.  You either believe you are super, a Gift to this world, or you destroy yourself.  Good God, if it were explained to me that way 40 years ago, I’m pretty sure all the worlds “crises” would already be resolved, and we’d be figuring out how to expand.

Profit over people would be eliminated as a barrier to expansion.  I call that energy Hard Dicks. Lol.  Being a man, these are the only dicks I’ve had jammed in my face.  

OMG, why would we strive to keep giving them what they want!!??

A: Because Water destroys Metal, when it moves contrary to Natural Law…Wisdom, Value, and Wealth, are destroyed.  And these men get what they want.

Jesus Christ!

If you can’t feel this.  You discovered exactly what keeps you poor… “paralysis by analysis.”

And Retreat from hardness and harshness.

Drop down, and feel What Matters Most.  It will move us all forward.
