The Four Elements

According to Plato and Aristotle, there are four essential elements in nature: fire, earth, water, and air. Although these elements were not only found in nature, the ancient Greeks believed that the four temperaments—composed of choleric, melancholic, phlegmatic, and sanguine were linked to the four elements stones in their respective crystal element.

The elements may largely shape a civilization’s culture, philosophy, or heritage. When it comes to Feng Shui, the primary five elements are metal, water, wood, fire, and earth. There are many ways to improve our health, money, love, and fortune by using Feng Shui’s aspects in our environment and the natural space.
