             Earth Element

                 In the Earth element, we are aware and mentally present. We feel
             connected to our body and our place on earth, which gives us food
             and helps us in our spiritual and physical growth. A person out of
             balance in the Earth element shows that he is absent and he does not
             feel connected to his roots or that he offers help excessively. A craving
             for sugar is also a signal of imbalance.
                 The lips, the flavor and the connective tissues are related to the
             organic function of the spleen-pancreas.

             Metal Element

                 In balance, this element is characterized by knowing what we do
             and do not want. When this element is in balance, the person knows
             where his/her boundaries are and to what extent it is allowed to respect
             the boundaries of others (the skin belongs to this element). A very
             important characteristic of the Metal element is “Take what is needed
             and let go of what is not or no longer needed.”
                 Clarity and boundaries are the key words for this element. Smell
             and the skin are influenced by the lung function.
