Drawing on her 29 years of experience as an acupuncturist and artist Laura Santi wrote and illustrated this 44 page coloring book/primer on the 5 elements in nature.   For ages 9 and up, "5 Secrets" includes detailed pen and ink  drawings describing the 5 Element paradigm through which ancient China viewed the world at large: its laws of society and nature, the human body, and healing.  This book describes what the elements are and how they form in the body at conception, influence our behavior and life, and dissolve and shift our state at the time of passing. 

”5 Secrets” is written in a lighthearted but educational tone,  in a thoughtful, compassionate, and loving way. It is for Chinese medicine aficionados, Spirit Plant Medicine workers, Herbalists, Acupuncturists, and as a Self-Help book for people trying to understand their own nature and the nature of our lives.
