Understand Yourself with Dondi Dahlin

Aired Sunday, 6 November 2016, 9:00 PM ET Are you called “fiery” more often than “tough?” Do friends say you’re “deep” just as much as they joke you’re a “wet blanket?” What about “cool and collected” versus “grounded?” Or that you’re “the rock” of your relationships? Everyone seems to want to know themselves more fully and there are countless personality systems to help them in their quest of self-awareness. There are countless on-line personality quizzes, relationship and compatibility tests, the Myers-Briggs, and astrology, to name a few. But one of the oldest assessment tools in existence has started making a comeback: the five elements of Chinese medicine. Originating over 2,000 years ago, the five elements system stems from scholars who theorized the universe is composed of five forces: water, wood, fire, earth, and metal. Join Sylvia and her guest, Dondi Dahlin, author of The Five Elements: Understand Yourself and Enhance Your Relationships with the Wisdom of the World’s Oldest Personality Type System, as they discuss how you can achieve and maintain balance physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally when you understand yourself through the ancient healing system of the five elements.
