What are the five basic elements?
The five basic elements are METAL, WOOD, WATER, FIRE and EARTH. The Ancient Chinese believe those are the basic elements of the universe and everything in our word is a compound of the five elements. The most important of all is the balance of all five elements. Although some times we see bad implications of certain elements in our certain area of life, there is no “bad elements”. Every one is a necessity of our life. On the other hand, every element can bring disadvantage to our life too. The circle of life links the five elements with each other.
