Chinese Medicine Fire Element time

According to Chinese Medicine, each season of the year is aligned with an element and also with organs in the body.  There are 5 elements in total: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. 

It is interesting that Chinese Medicine attributes a fifth season in the year: Late Summer in addition to our classical Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring.

So where are we now?  Now we are in the middle of Summer/the Fire Element which rules the Heart (a Yin organ) and the Small Intestine (a Yang organ).  It is a time for joy and laughter, to follow your heart and listen to your inner child.  Play, have fun, sing and dance!  

What is your heart telling you?  What are you having issues with digesting and processing? 

We will be posting more info about various aspects of the elements throughout the year and will go more in depth over time....
