5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Useful, August 26, 2004

By	Tracy Stewart "Spirit Path Acupuncture" (Healdsburg, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Provides a wonderful short "thought for the day" along with simple activities that facilitate awareness of our oneness with Nature and the cycles of life. There are also beautiful illustrations and poetry. It would be especially beneficial to those experiencing Five Element Acupuncture treatment. However, anyone who is interested in improving their health and sense of wholeness could use and would enjoy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Educational Daily Thoughts Book, November 4, 2008

By	Yang Cheng Fu "A Searcher" (Feasterville, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This book is a breath of fresh air daily reminding me of the five elements
and their seasonal effect on me. The explanations are not too technical but more on a personal level, the choices of poetry and interviews are in keeping with the season, this book I can see using daily year after year adding notes such as seasonal herbs and foods and more to embed these thoughts deeper into my psyche.
