🌿What grounds and nourishes you?🌿
Today I felt the first breeze of late summer - the period of the earth element in Traditional Chinese Medicine, focused on the stomach and spleen. This is a time where we move from the upward energy of the wood and fire element, and ground back down to earth.
The earth element nourishes and embraces us, it is the place where transformation of life force energy happens, and when in balance, worry and consuming thoughts get to rest.
As we move from one element to another, the transition can be filled with friction. The Yang energy of the summer might still take us up and out, while the cycle is trying to slow us down.
This is also true for the astrology as there is a massive shift when we go from Leo to Virgo season.
Great practices in earthy element period is:
🌿Start consuming more cooked foods and warm drinks
🌿Wear and eat the color yellow
🌿Balance the foods that have a sweet taste
🌿Meditation
🌿Abdominal massage
🌿Empty the mind and be with Mother Earth
