Mastery of the Five Elements
Core Essence & Character
with Mervin Wilk – Sweden
Certified Instructor in Emotions and Metaphysical KinesiologyTM

Welcome to the world of Elements
Mastery of the 5 Elements Core Essence & Character introduces the ancient principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in an engaging, small-group setting at Heart of Mervin. This course makes learning enjoyable, hands-on, and heart-centered.
In addition to TCM teachings, you’ll explore your own essence and identify your unique Element and Character profile—Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, or Wood. Gaining this insight provides powerful tools to deepen your understanding of yourself and your clients.
You will learn how all the Elements interact within the body, nature, and the universe, and you will gain a comprehensive understanding of their dynamics. Each Element’s Essence is explored: Fire represents excitement and self-love; Earth embodies nurturing; Metal signifies respect; Water conveys reassurance; and Wood stands for assertiveness. Throughout the course, expect meaningful moments of growth and self-acceptance.
The Mastery of the 5 Elements Core Essence and Character course also teaches you how to use Element Acupressure Points to balance energy among the Five Elements, promoting optimal harmony in the body. You will discover how to apply these techniques during Kinesiology sessions and provide valuable guidance to your clients. Additionally, the course includes balancing the Elements with a vibrant selection of natural remedies.
This course has been authored by Denise Robinson, Director of By The Bay Kinesiology and the Founder and Creator of the Emotions and Metaphysical Kinesiology (EMK) modality.
