  1	fire: independence and growth changing to leadership and confidence
  2	earth: respect and belonging changing to awareness and humility
  3	lake: fun and possibilities
  4	thunder: connecting and service
  5	heaven: heaven and earth
  6	water: purpose and meaning
  7	mountain: faith and trust
  8	wind: power and vision
  9	tai chi or yin yang: mastery and guidance
  The Tao – foundation of SoleNumbers:
  The Tao (pronounced Dow) represents the fundamental nature of the Universe, the origin, the Creator. The Tao, loosely translated, means your path or your life's journey.
  The Tao is your being-ness, your deep knowing that you are more than your physical body and that the purpose of your life on earth is making a difference. The Tao is accepting that you are here for only one reason – the evolution of your soul.
  The Tao is the process by which the universe expresses itself and teaches that the only constant in life is change – change is about accepting movement in your life with ease, allowing for transformation, accepting your path, living in the 'now' and embracing the evolution of your soul.
  The Tao shows you that your life has seasons – spring, summer, autumn and winter; that there is a constant opening and closing of energy for all of us; that this is a natural unfolding process; and that this is something to embrace – not to fear.
  Key understandings of the Tao include
  •	Connection – between us all and also with everything
  o	Balance – when one part is out of balance, all are affected
  •	Flow – non-resistance to what is going on around us
  The Tao teaches that the fundamental law underlying everything in the universe is utterly plain and simple; no matter how complicated life may appear. The Tao is intrinsically connected to yin yang and to the eight original building blocks of nature (called trigrams) – heaven and earth, wind and lake, thunder and mountain, fire and water.
  Your life becomes a process of accepting and working within the flow of energy between the yin yang and the eight trigrams of nature. As you accept your soul's plan for this lifetime, your soul's desire for a life experience, your soul's choice of a SolePath, your soul's choice of your SoleNumbers – you also understand that this planet that we live on is a creative environment, and that with your free will you are creating your life.
  Each number, 1 to 9, is connected to the original energy of the Tao, to the trigrams of nature. 1 – fire, 2 – earth, 3 – lake, 4 – wood, 5 – heaven, 6 – water, 7 – mountain, 8 – wind, 9 – yin yang. Each number 1 to 9 has this original energy vibration.
