Connecting Your Circle is about your energy—your life force, your essence. It’s how you move through the world, energetically speaking.
Your energy is surging through you and unconsciously telegraphs your nature in every word you speak, the look in your eyes, the way you walk, the way you dance, the way you make love… every move you make exhibits who you really are. Your energy flow never stops and never rests.
Every living thing on the planet, big or small, has the Five Element energies: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water guiding their every movement. You were born with a particular mix of these Five Element energies in a certain order called your Elemental Energy type.
This informative new book on the Five Elements can help you understand your true nature and exactly how your Elements stack up. We also take a look at some of the top celebrities, politicians, and athletes to see what Elements they are.
Want to know what George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Lady Gaga, and Oprah all do the same?
Need to know what Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie share?
What do Beyoncé, Jennifer Aniston, and U2’s Bono all have in common?
Why do Anderson Cooper, Cate Blanchett, and Julia Roberts smile all the time?
How do Tiger Woods, Robin Williams, Justin Timberlake, and Zooey Deschanel get our attention?
From studying the celebrities and their Elemental Energy types, you can learn more about yourself and the people you love. The Five Elements are something to have fun with, live with, and be immersed in every day. Connecting Your Circle will give you the words, the definitions, and the ability to converse about the Five Elements. It will help you learn about who you are so you can be more confident, more aware, and more excited about your life than ever before. Once you understand who you truly are, you can begin to maximize your potential in new and exciting ways. Harnessing and mastering the power of all Five Elements in you means you’re on the path to Connecting Your Circle.
