People often ask this and the answer lies in the fact that the basic system of 5 Elements is the same foundation for a great many areas – like Acupuncture, Martial Arts and Meditation. However, the difference lies in the application of the system as well as its interpretation.
The way I teach 5 Elements, for example, has a different emphasis depending on the way it’s going to be applied. EFT, for example, requires a different approach to, say, Reiki or Feng Shui– or even 5 Element Coherence.
The foundation is the same for all applications, but the approach may be different for practical execution, depending on what you want to do with it.
