In this earth season, according to traditional Chinese medicine, the stomach and spleen energies are running the strongest.
But when those energies are stagnant, or maladapted, we get stuck, like stuck in the mud… And can’t get moving. We overthink everything, we worry, doubt and can be prone to self absorption.
So if this is the case for you, no worries, it’s very common this time of year. The remedy is the wood element controlling the Earth element. What does that mean????…
The wood element corresponds to the liver and gallbladder meridians which run through our inner and outer hips.
When the Earth element feels stuck, we look to the spring wood element that is springy and flexible to control the heavy earth chi, by creating movement and mobility especially around the hips.
This will get our stuck worried mind moving to confidence, stability and feeling grounded which are all the virtues of a balanced earth element.
This is what our yoga teacher trainees are learning on how to design practices that will regulate their energy and stabilize their emotions according to the seasonal energy.
If you are feeling stuck or you know someone else who needs some motivation, or suffering from chronic joint pain and the anxiety that comes with it, click the link in my bio.
The Empowered Yogi Method combines yoga, chi gong, breath work and meditation to heal your chronic pain and the difficult emotions that come along with it.
Your body is ready to heal!
