I know your mind is a fascinating place to spend time… but… she deserves a break.

The earth element is your foundation, your supportive routines, your safe, clean and cozy home, your health, your body - the home for your spirit.

What is it that grounds you? What are the structures that you rely on to be well and calm? This is earth element.

(For me? I need a certain amount of routine to sustain my life: meditate, meal prep, regular sleep times, not over scheduling. I’m a recovering over-scheduler. I live in the paradox of social butterfly and hermiting witch. Both are within me.)

Have you ever experienced the NADA protocol? It’s so deeply calming, centering, grounding. Perfect for the earth element season if your body is craving things that you’re trying to move away from.

Sugar cravings got me thinking about this mini earth element season we’re in and how to meet transitions with grace - through the day, month, year, planetary transits, rites of passage and changes in the physical body. What do YOU think of when you hear the word “Cultivation”?

This earth element seasonal transition will last until August 7th, when the metal element, with its autumnal vibes, starts to trickle in.

The next two weeks offer a powerful window to reset your habits, your tastebuds, your relationship to food and drink and your digestive system — before a misaligned lifestyle has the chance to develop into something deeper.

Would you like to capitalize on this earth element moment? I created an earth element nutrition and lifestyle guide to help you do that. The link is in my bio.

Restocking herbs: “Women’s Chamber” (for pelvic and menstrual discomfort), “Digestive Harmony”, “Neck & Shoulder”... on the list are formulas for irritability, rumination/worry, sleep, hot flashes…

Do you have a preference for capsules, tablets, powders, tinctures? I myself like tinctures for their balance of efficacy and ease).

East Asian Medicine includes many modalities besides acupuncture to treat the root cause of imbalance for efficient, sustainable relief.

It’s always good to know where you are.

The spring Equinox is peak wood element: enthusiastic, upward, driven, powerful, energetic, direct.

When out of balance it can be frustrated, irritable, angry, tight or it can show up as unmotivated, unconfident, depressed... Just a snapshot of possibilities.

East Asian Medicine, acupuncture, herbs, qigong, feng shui, five element philosophy... provide insight and solutions to rebalance. If you haven’t scheduled your seasonal tuneup, now is a great time to do so. Link to schedule is in my bio.
