Water Type - 5 Element Personality types - Emotions, Psyche in TCM

[@jenniferveerkamp8339]

Recently learned that I am a water type and this described me exactly. Also I am an INFP. Great video and info! Thanks!!

[@annabea7692]

We had nearly two years of TCM education for massage therapy training back in 2000-2003. It was a drop in a bucket that barely touched on the personality types. Thank you for the added depth, Marie.

It’s not a common thing to be taught in any TCM school, as far as I’m aware.

[@Nerdy-By-Nature]

INFJ, and this is pretty spot on. I think when imbalanced or unhealthy I tend to lean more towards anonymity and being out of touch with reality, not quite as much the more socially "abrasive" end of things ... usually, lol. Interestingly my kidneys have always been a struggle. So excited to have found your channel!!

[@chinesemedicinepodcast]

i'm curios to know what element type you are also? did you do the 5 element test ?

[@Nerdy-By-Nature]

@@chinesemedicinepodcast yes, I test as Water primarily! I got 17 on Water, 9 on Metal, 9 on Earth, 9 on Fire, and 3 on Wood. Interestingly, not too long ago I was working with my mentor on the issue of self-identity. When I had to visualize who I was at birth, my true self, the only thing that would come to mind was water. She encouraged me to visualize myself having a water birth and it was incredibly moving.

I'm 64% water in chinese astrology and this description was super accurate for my personality.

[@cajnova8654]

How do u find ur element percentages?

[@jacquelineroberts1133]

I am a water type, and everything you described in this video applies to me. Thanks for posting it. :)

[@chinesemedicinepodcast]

Glad you found my channel and that it’s made sense to you.

[@sabrinameadows9957]

i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any tricks you can give me

[@kacekristian5178]

@Camden Odin Instablaster ;)

[@camdenodin7350]

@Kace Kristian i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@camdenodin7350]

@Kace Kristian It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you really help me out!

[@PaulnJenna]

My chiropractor who also studies acupuncture said to me today I am a water element, hence watching this. I am also an INTJ so this fits in perfectly!

[@chinesemedicinepodcast]

I can easily see how INTJ has many water traits :)

[@etherealdeal1792]

My acupuncturist said I was this type and I feel so called out. Resonated a lot

[@chinesemedicinepodcast]

Glad it made sense to you. I since this series made my own test, you can try it here : I have a Free, unique 5-Element Personality Test that I created. Get your free test sent to you here: www.metrohealth.com.au/get-your-free-5-element-personality-test/

[@user-zt7cp5iv9e]

38% water and 35% metal over here, in Western astrology I'm almost 45% air. Great video! I'm excited to learn more about Chinese astrology, Kung Fu, Qi Gong and Chinese culture in general, cuz it looks like an other world from where I'm at.

[@SS-yg8ht]

Wow, this describes me to the T, on the extreme end, unfortunately. Do you happen to have any resources where we can learn more about the psyche/health of the Water element type?

[@chinesemedicinepodcast]

Hi SS. Glad you’ve discovered about yourself...the book i used to guide this series is called “Between Heaven and Earth, a guide to Chinese Medicine” by Efrem Korngold and Harriet Beinfield. . Another resource which has a quiz and some other resource about personality types /more esoteric and self help healing aspects of Chinese medicine too is here longevity-center.com/five-element-personality-form/ . Hope this is helpful. I may make up more videos about what to do if you are these types in excess or deficiency .

[@user-wc3zt5fq2o]

Wow you are right I am water

[@jaimeafonso8175]

Greetings. Is the Mercury planet water-phlegmatic?

[@chinesemedicinepodcast]

not sure sorry

[@user-wc3zt5fq2o]

what should water people eat? and avoid

[@chinesemedicinepodcast]

Need to think about this. It’s not a thing that this type of Chinese medicine is used for specifically. It’s predominantly for mental health

[@einfachphi]

I went to my doctor and we found out that water is my element. I read online that it is associated with a rounded body type/baby face but I don’t have this at all… is this possible?(thank you so much for your videos!! I love them)

[@chinesemedicinepodcast]

It can be confusing because there are "constitutional types" and also the 5 Element types of personality - not necessarily the body shapes...but the body shape is often what happens over time. A 5 Element practitioner studies Chinese medicine in the 5 element system specifically - its a special area of Chinese medicine. hope that is helpful somewhat

[@einfachphi]

@@chinesemedicinepodcast thank you so much!! I think I get it
