- Element Metal: characteristics and influence on humans
The fourth of the five elements in Chinese culture is the element of Metal. It is believed that each element in its own way affects absolutely everything that is part of our Universe. In this article we will dwell in detail on how exactly the element of Metal (Air) influences the fate, physical health and spiritual development of a person, his character and worldview...
Characteristics of the Metal Element
The nature of the Metal element is to accumulate and focus internal energy. It is not for nothing that the autumn season is most suitable for the essence of Metal. It is at this time of year that nature falls asleep in order to rest, gain vitality and energy, wait out the cold winter cold and be reborn again in the spring...
As for color symbolism, the main colors of the Metal element are white, as well as any shades of metal (silver or golden).
In nature, the power of the Metal element is most pronounced in places with the highest levels of electromagnetic radiation, in other words, where the most energy generated by our planet is collected. For many millennia, people have somehow determined the incredible magnetism of these places. Churches, churches, temples and other places of worship and religious buildings were built in such mysterious places.
In the philosophical teachings of other countries and cultures, the element of Metal corresponds to the element of Air. The element of Air is closely related to the air signs of the Horoscope, therefore, based on the characteristics of the basic principles of the element of Metal, they can also glean useful information for themselves.
The element of Metal has a strong influence on the internal resources of the earth - minerals and minerals. The combination of the two elements of Earth and Metal gives rise to the element of Wood.
People of the Metal element are very sociable and friendly among friends, although at the first meeting they may seem withdrawn, unapproachable and cold. However, they are categorical on some issues; it is difficult for them to force themselves to make concessions to someone. But only the ability to compromise in time will allow them to realize themselves in life, revealing their full potential.
Those under this element are ambitious, independent people, and they are also endowed with an incredibly large supply of energy. Risk is a common thing for them, the main thing is that it is justified. In life, they are guided by their own established principles and beliefs, with the help of which they often achieve success. They are persistent and purposeful individuals who will not stray from the intended path, despite possible obstacles and difficulties that arise in the process of achieving their desired goals. Metal is a symbol of endurance and constancy, because any problems temper such people, making them even stronger.
People born under the sign of the Metal element are purposeful and determined individuals who know exactly what goals they strive to achieve in life. But this does not prevent them from being idealists by nature. These charming people are true connoisseurs of beauty. They strive to remain true to their principles and beliefs. Their main goal is to achieve the truth in everything and successfully arrange their lives. Metal has the strongest influence on business and finance. These people are very resilient, strong-willed and strong personalities, ready to cope with any difficulties that arise along the way. Sometimes people of the Metal element may have outbursts of anger or aggression.
During a serious illness or deep emotional experiences, people born under the sign of the Metal element can be helped by the color white. And according to Feng Shui, people of this element should sleep so that their heads face the West, like the facades of their houses. In addition, this gives them a beautiful view of the sunset, which they can and should admire more often. Even the interior of the house will help make the influence of Metal even stronger if you add more different metal accessories, round-shaped objects in metallic or white color. It is believed that it is better for people of the Metal element to build relationships with representatives of the Water element. But with the Earth and Fire elements, their relationship is most likely to be tense, and the relationship between the two Metals is usually completely neutral.
Tree Face
Tree faces are close to the European rectangular type. They are elongated, thin, with prominent cheekbones, have a straight long nose, long ears, thin and elongated eyebrows, and (in middle age) deep folds running along the forehead from top to bottom. By nature, they are straightforward, stubborn, reliable people who treat others with great warmth and kindness, seeing only the good in everything. Often it is such Tree people who provide help to their neighbors (especially material) or take on some obligations. They are very efficient, know how to concentrate well, and often achieve significant financial success. They communicate well with other people, are diplomatic, if necessary, friendly, and are leaders by nature. Therefore, they often become politicians or work in science or the service sector.
The main character trait of a Tree face type is kindness. The benevolence of this person is combined with perseverance and fortitude. He knows how to achieve his goals while remaining benevolent, has a strong desire for leadership, but at the same time knows how to sympathize with people, provides financial assistance, and funds social programs. Like a large tree, it protects those around it from the elements.
However, this trait often threatens a person with sad consequences: while protecting others, he takes the blows of fate upon himself, and in order to achieve success, he has to expend more effort than others. Success comes to people with the Tree face type difficult and slowly, but firmly and for a long time.
People of this type are usually long-lived: “Virtue is rewarded with long life” (Confucius).
The optimal field of activity is financial affairs. They are incredibly lucky here.
Sometimes people of this type reach the heights of financial well-being unexpectedly for themselves (for example, they can win a large sum in the lottery or receive a large inheritance).
It is in the financial sector that such people can bring maximum benefit to society, especially if they occupy senior positions.
In addition, such people effectively manifest themselves in the social sphere and science.
Like a tree, the best time for people of this type is spring; it is at this time that they are recommended to implement the most serious projects.
A historical example of a person with a “Tree” face is George W. Bush, President of the United States.
The influence of Metal on human health
In the human body, the influence of the element of Metal is manifested in the colon and lungs. As you know, the main principle of the Universe is the accumulation and subsequent release of energy. Thus, a person’s lungs absorb and store energy, and the large intestine is responsible for releasing it. When the nature of Metal is not in order, a person may begin to have problems with these organs of the body.
The breathing process can be controlled, and in some cases it is even necessary. The main thing is to learn to do it correctly and profitably, because with the help of various breathing techniques you can eliminate malfunctions in many physiological, emotional, and mental processes of the human body. Well, healthy food and a proper diet will help you cope with the health of your colon.
Man and the element Metal
The element of Metal endows its wards with unbending willpower, an incredible charge of energy and determination. The Metal man is not without adventurism and is ready to take risks at any moment. Such a person is independent and independent, and does not need outside help. He is overly categorical and smug, so he will not tolerate criticism and can explode, causing a loud scandal. He confidently walks through life, relying only on his own convictions, and throughout his life, pursuing the goals he has set for himself. At the same time, he does not pay attention to the opinions of others. This ambitious person devotes himself entirely to his life's work. Faith in success, perseverance, and patience help a person of the Metal element sign to always achieve the desired goals, without deviating from the path that was initially laid out and thought out to the smallest detail. By the way, any problems and failures will not force him to give up, but still he does not like surprises.
If people are born under the signs of the Zodiac, which endow their wards with endurance, stability and constancy, then the element of Metal further enhances these qualities. Just as steel is tempered in battle, so these people become stronger with each new test of fate. It is not without reason that in world history there are many famous military leaders, commanders or generals who were born under the auspices of the Metal sign. The external uncompromisingness and coldness of these people cannot hide from those around them the frantic flow of energy that they emit. However, only by overcoming their intractability will they be able to use their full potential to the fullest and successfully realize themselves, both in their careers and in their personal lives. After all, then nothing can stop them from building warm, trusting and strong relationships with loved ones.
Character of a man Metal
The Metal man is an uncompromising, independent and categorical person, because he is absolutely convinced of his own uniqueness and strives to show everyone around him how individual and unique he is. He is an incredibly ambitious and selfish person. He always mercilessly and headlong rushes towards his cherished goal. This applies to absolutely all areas of activity. However, such swiftness and perseverance prevent him from assessing his achievements and enjoying the long-awaited triumph, so usually, having achieved the desired goal, he, as a rule, fails to feel true happiness and pleasure from what he so zealously strived for. Often similar situations happen in his personal life. The Metal man is simply unable to admit that there are moments in a love relationship when you just need to listen to the words of the chosen one.
A man of the Metal element is simply confident that the life partner he has chosen for himself will certainly please him and indulge all his whims. This man can easily cope not only with the role of a husband and father, providing the family with everything necessary, but also with the roles of a lover and a great seducer at the same time. Of course, the character of the Metal Man indicates that he, as a self-sufficient, powerful and independent person, prefers to stand at the head of the family, demonstrating his superiority and power over his wife. Although, this gives him certain advantages in family relationships. Having built a truly strong family and being convinced of the correctness of his choice, a Metal man is unlikely to decide to have an affair “on the side” and will be a faithful husband to his chosen one.
True, in the lives of men of the Metal element there are periods of melancholy, when they strive for loneliness, torment themselves with doubts and suffer from self-criticism. First of all, their thirst for power is based on their own ambitions, so if they ever have to make a choice between their career and personal life, then most likely they will choose the first and leave the second to chance. They are simply convinced that their personal relationships will pass any test of strength. In some matters, these men are so unshakable that they sometimes seem insensitive and cold, devoid of love and passion. But in reality, they are endowed with developed intuition, which helps them successfully overcome even such life difficulties that others cannot overcome. They just have a strong nervous system, excellent ingenuity and a lot of energy.
The Metal man is a real ace in bed. He subtly senses the desires of his chosen one and usually determines what exactly turns her on even before making love. For him, love will forever remain his main source of pleasure and way of self-knowledge. The partner of such a man needs to prepare for the fact that from time to time the impression will be created that her companion thinks only about himself. However, in fact, this is a sign that the Metal man still feels lonely. A self-sufficient person like him can be happy even while remaining a single bachelor. However, for a woman who can appreciate and respect his enterprise and narcissism, he will certainly want to become a devoted and faithful spouse.
Character of a woman Metal
The Metal woman chooses her life partner very meticulously. It is important for her that she can unconditionally trust her chosen one, feel safe next to him and, most importantly, maintain her own independence in an honest and trusting relationship. At the same time, it is important for her that she be the absolute leader in the relationship, and nothing else. If suddenly a Metal woman has connected her life with a man who is unable to provide her with love, respect and material wealth, she will, willy-nilly, tear such a union to pieces so that nothing will remain. The Metal element woman admires power and sexuality. She is a rather voluptuous lady who enthusiastically enjoys erotic pleasures, causing a storm of emotions in her.
The Metal woman loves risk and danger, which make her sensations even sharper, but she is unlikely to succumb to such temptations and will not go to great lengths. First of all, she is a true owner, and at heart a loner. In addition, "walking to the left" can cost her peace of mind for many years, because she will immediately have a terrible feeling of guilt. Far from the only obstacle to a close relationship with her is her serious approach to life. The Metal Woman strives to fill every corner of her lover’s soul, but no lover can do the same with her, since she will not allow anyone to encroach on her own freedom.
The Metal Woman is used to the fact that she can conquer any peak. She needs communication, prestige, a high position in society, love and recognition, but, most importantly, her chosen one can provide all this to her.
The Metal woman often chooses loneliness rather than family life. She is a very independent person, it is easier for her to live knowing that she can only count on herself. In addition, her fear of experiencing love disappointment is much stronger than the hope of meeting the man of her dreams soon. But she skillfully uses the lack of personal life in order to achieve incredible heights in her career. She carefully monitors her appearance and style of clothing, so there are always a lot of gentlemen hovering around her.
In bed, a Metal woman can be both a temptress and a sophisticated one. If in a love affair she takes the position of leader, then she can always leave if she wants. But if the initiator of intimacy is a man, then she can completely surrender to her feelings, dissolving in her partner without a trace.
Face of Fire
The Fire People are closer to the European triangular type, with the only exception that the structure of the skull of the Mongols is somewhat different. Fire people have a wide middle part of the face (cheekbones), a narrow and cut chin, cheekbones cut off at the bottom of the face, and a clearly visible nose. By nature, Fire people are quite aggressive, difficult to communicate, often prone to various adventures, very fond of adventure, brave, quite cruel, often and quickly fall into anger. But they also have positive traits - they are constant in their feelings, often monogamous, or at least not inclined to change partners often. By nature they are creative individuals, they love everything new, but they tend to destroy rather than create. Many revolutionaries, military men, and politicians belong to this type. The disadvantage of Fire people is their tendency to start several things at once and not complete them. For all their talents, due to their character traits, they often achieve well-deserved fame only in adulthood or (more often) old age.
People of this type have a difficult character. These are “hot heads”, brave, ambitious, disregarding their surroundings, often cruel and unbridled. At their best, they can be favorable, they make excellent military leaders, they show themselves brilliantly wherever their courage and strength are in demand.
Fire in China is a symbol of propriety, and people of this type are usually constant in their affections.
The main advantages of these people: they are often distinguished by a bright, extraordinary mind; they generate and implement bold, original ideas, but not always for the benefit of humanity.
The main disadvantages of the Fire face type: excessive ambitions and an underestimation of the abilities of others. Not trusting others, they want to do everything themselves and very quickly, so they often fail or “burn out” at work. They reach the top of their careers late, when old age is close and there is little energy left.
In old age, many people of this type remain lonely because their spouses and children, unable to withstand their despotic nature, leave them.
