This summer solstice, honor the joy of being alive. Honor what opens your heart and brings ease. Continue to grow and expand your wellness. Let the fire element of the season burn away sorrow, hardship, loss, worry, and despair. Acupuncture can help you stay balanced amidst seasonal changes, which is often when physical ailments talk more loudly.
In balance:
- Fun, social, playful
- Outdoor time in the Sun
- Vigorous exercise, staying active
- Sweating, movement
- Eating light
- An open heart
- Balancing joys and sorrows
Out of balance:
- Hiding inside
- Shy, serious, afraid to play
- Over-eating heavy foods
- Faint hearted, giving up easily
- Sorrow overshadowing joy
“Each of the 5 Elements represents a season in the yearly cycle:
Wood corresponds to Spring and is associated with birth,
Fire corresponds with Summer and is associated with growth,
Metal corresponds to Autumn and is associated with harvest,
Water corresponds with Winter and is associated with storage
Earth corresponds to the late season
and is associated with transformation”
