Five Elements Spirit Perspective
| Spirit of the Point | Not at Ease is for someone uncomfortable in an earthy way, whose cycles and the basic rhythms of life are out of balance. Sleeping, eating and menstruation are not functioning properly, and the mental cycles are out too: restlessness, a churning mind, problems that cannot be solved, obsessions and stuck ideas. The person cannot digest or process, takes nothing from past experiences and is not learning or transforming from them. It helps after excess of any kind, when we have taken in more than we can digest. As the name tells us: insecurity, instability and unease from not being grounded, like a child who cannot find its mother, panicky and unsteady, needing to be comforted and held. It brings understanding and ease within, so the person can see the solution with their own eyes. |
