I created a downloadable image of the 5 elements and the emotions connected with them.

- Lung Channel: Manifests as chest tightness, frequent colds, or a lingering sense of grief and sadness. - Large Intestine: Often shows up as digestive "backups" like constipation or a feeling of being mentally "stuck." - Stomach: Look for acid reflux, front-of-leg pain, or chronic overthinking and worry. - Spleen: Common signs include heavy limbs, fatigue, and "brain fog" or digestive bloating. - Heart: Can lead to palpitations, insomnia, or a general lack of joy and mental clarity. - Small Intestine: Often causes shoulder/neck pain and difficulty distinguishing important choices from trivial ones. - Bladder: Manifests as chronic lower back stiffness, hamstrings tension, or a hyper-reactive stress response. - Kidney: Shows up as low energy, knee pain, or deep-seated fear and a lack of willpower. - Pericardium: Can cause chest discomfort and a feeling of being emotionally guarded or "closed off." - San Jiao (Triple Burner): Usually involves earaches, bloating, or difficulty regulating body temperature. - Gallbladder: Look for temple-area migraines, hip issues, or indecisiveness and resentment. - Liver: The classic signs are irritability, rib-side distension, and muscle spasms or PMS.
