Welcome to this Earth element practice!
This kind of practice can help you deal with times of transition or when you feel unbalanced. The aim is to help you feel more steady, stable and centered, more “yourself”.
The organs associated with the Earth element in the Chinese system are the Stomach and Spleen. The meridians for these organs run up and down the front of body, so Earth element practices will therefore include plenty of front of body stretches as well as strengthening of the legs and core muscles.
The Earth element is also associated with Late Summer, the season of transition between the rising energy of Spring & Summer, and the descending energy of Autumn & Winter.
More videos for each season are available to subscribers only.
Spring
The Wood element, a time of rising energy and growth. Look ahead and start putting together plans and making decisions! Stretch out of Winter!
Early Summer
Part of the Fire element…getting ready for full on Summer, like a warm-up lap on a race track. Warming the body, getting out more.
Summer
The Fire element, a time of the highest expression of Yang energy rising and dispersing. The days are long, the weather is warm and we feel sociable and expressive.
Late Summer
The Earth element, a time of returning to centre after the Yang energy of the Spring and Summer. Time to ground, gathering in and take stock before the cooler months start.
Autumn
The Metal element, a time of descending energy. In a process of refinement we hold on to what we find valuable and let go of what is no longer needed.
Winter
The Water element, the most Yin time of the year. Dark, deep, silent, reflective. Time to gather our energy deep inwards, rest and build energy reserves for the coming year.
