hen I began my study of Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of placement, I learned about the Chinese 5 elements: wood, metal, fire, water, and air. I have to admit it was a stretch for me because of my cultural beliefs as a First Nations person. In the Potawatomi and Ho-Chunk cultures we believe in 4 elements of air, fire, water and earth. Understanding the fifth element metal in the Chinese Feng Shui was a challenge. I continually researched and read about the 5 elements to see how I could come to a deeper understanding in order to be a good Feng Shui practitioner and teacher.
