I was brought up in Michigan and we lived a few
blocks from a hardwood forest filled with oak,
black walnut and maple trees. When I bought my
first home, it was on a three and a half acre land surrounded
with trees and a beautiful little stream snaking
through the prosperity. I spent many a day walking
through the forests and connecting with the spirit
of the woods. I have not
been in the woods since
last Thanksgiving and I was starting to miss it,
so, I took a little trip up to Tampa for a long
weekend. Northern Florida has large pine trees and
I reconnected with the Wood element inside of me
and felt really at peace.
The element Wood rules the liver and gall bladder
in Chinese medicine. The Wood energy represents
growth, development and planning, and that was my
purpose of coming to Tampa to work with Eluv to
plan out the next year of our radio show. Wood
element is known for the emotion of kindness and
it’s about growth and balance. It is said that the
spiritual aspect that is stored in the Wood
element is our Heavenly soul. It is the aspect of
the person that goes on to the next project and
the next life.
The woods can bring you a great sense of
confidence, the ability to strike out in new
directions, and the ability to adapt to changing
circumstances. To stay balanced, no matter what
element or emotion is in effect, it takes skillful
means. The most important concept in Skill in
Means is the use, guided by wisdom and
compassion, of a specific teaching (means) geared
to the particular audience taught. Edward Conze,
in A Short History Of Buddhism, says, “Skill in
Means is the ability to bring out the spiritual
potentialities of different people by statements
or actions which are adjusted to their needs and
adapted to their capacity for comprehension.”
