The movement of Wood is upwards. It is the energy of flexibility, strength, & self-expression - to be able to find ways around obstacles to growth.
We can observe the element of Wood in nature easily in spring. All nature is waking up from the darkness and dormancy, in-ward looking nature of winter, the sinews of the body, the tendons and muscles stretching and flexing, buds of ideas are forming, we look and make decisions about our directions for the year ahead and begin to make plans accordingly.
Wood energy supports us to see the world with fresh eyes and can help us to be in free flow.
