5-Element

Holistic Liberation

with Jyllin

The Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine — Earth, Water, Wood, Fire & Metal — offer a time-tested, nature-rooted framework for understanding your emotional patterns, health rhythms, and personal growth.

This page introduces each element briefly, with links to explore them more deeply. Together, they form the foundation of the Holistic Liberation Program, where we integrate element yoga, EFT, and health coaching to support your whole being.

Water Element

Holistic Liberation

Water element practices address the kidney and bladder meridians in the physical and mental-emotional bodies and focus on toning the central nervous system, kidneys, adrenals, psoas, and the entire backline of the body.

This releases fear, anxiety, nervousness, stress, and tension — deepening your trust, confidence, and sense of safety within yourself, your relationships, and the actions you take in the world.

Wood Element

Holistic Liberation

Moving the Wood Element: Ease anger and irritation through decisive action that's aligned with your soul's purpose

Wood element practices address the liver and gallbladder meridians in the physical and mental-emotional bodies and focus on toning the inner thighs, inner and outer hips, neck, shoulders, and the entire outside line of the body.

This releases toxicity, anger, irritability, impatience, and frustration — aligning your creative vision and dreams, plans and actions with your soul’s purpose.

Fire Element

Holistic Liberation

Fire element practices address the heart, pericardium, triple heater, and small intestine meridians in the physical and mental-emotional bodies and focus on toning the chest, upper back, arms, hands, and the diaphragm.

This releases deep sadness or manic moods by strengthening emotional maturity, radical self-love, and mindful boundaries to allow more warmth, joy, love, and laughter.

Earth Element

Holistic Liberation

Earth element practices address the spleen and stomach meridians in the physical and mental-emotional bodies and focus on toning the feet, legs, deep and superficial core muscles, and the entire frontline of the body.

This releases worry, obsessive thinking, and feelings of lack by stabilizing you into the center of your body and into the Earth — empowering you with mental clarity and a sense of fulfillment so you can feel whole, balanced, and content in relationship with yourself and others.

Metal Element

Holistic Liberation

Metal element practices address the lung and colon meridians in the physical and mental-emotional bodies and focus on toning the chest, shoulders, abdomen and lungs.

This releases grief, apathy, insecurity, and loneliness — so you feel inspired and connected with the inherent worth in your essence and true Self as a vital part of the universe.

Five Element

Holistic Liberation

No single element tells your whole story. In nature — and in you — they’re always in motion, influencing one another. When they’re balanced, you feel clear, connected, and in flow.

Our work in Holistic Liberation draws on this dynamic system to help you:

  • Understand recurring patterns
  • Reclaim energy and emotional flexibility
  • Live in alignment with your seasons, cycles, and inner truth

This is the foundation of our work together in the Holistic Liberation Program.
