Happy Solstice! ☀️
Here are some ideas to live seasonally and make the most of the summer months:
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Summer corresponds to the fire element.
🔥 Fire is symbolic of maximum activity (or in TCM terms, greatest yang) which means that it is a time of heat, outgoingness, and moving outward in nature and in our lives.
♥️ The heart, mind, and spirit are ruled by the fire element - so top priority should be given to the heart, mind, and spirit for staying healthy!
Summer is a time to nourish and pacify our spirits, and to realize our life’s greatest potential as we find joy in our hot summer days and warm summer nights. Allow yourself to stay out a little later, socialize with people who bring you joy, make time to play, experience life and go on an adventure or two but be sure to balance it with plenty of water, downtime, and relaxation!
