We have now entered the late summer season. Did you notice the shift? π
Fruits are ripe, days are getting shorter, temperature changes increase and the winter rustles through drier leaves.
This is the time when the earth element becomes active. The earth element is associated with the spleen, pancreas and stomach. Their function is to transform and transport. π
Now is the time to strengthen your digestion and prepare for the next season (in the UK, for Autumn). It's also the perfect time to strengthen Qi with warm drinks, gentle walks and warm oil massage (book in for a soothing Qi balancing treatment).
π Use spices like cardamom, fennel, thyme to support the spleen, pancreas and stomach
π The colour yellow is very balancing in this season
π Essential oils like frankincense and lemon help to settle and clarify the mind. Have a look at my last post where I discuss frankincense in more detail
This is a great season for journaling, reflecting and being grateful for the past few months and planning for the colder days ahead - what cosy activities do you plan to engage in this Autumn and Winter?
