If youāve been enjoying practicing Qigong with the seasons (Five Element Theory), you may have heard of the Earth phaseāa short but powerful period in the Chinese calendar that corresponds to Late Summer. This phase is the bridge between Summer and Autumnāa time to gather yourself after the expansive (Yang) energy of Summer and gently prepare for the more inward (Yin) turn of Autumn.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Earth element represents stability, nourishment, and transformation, and is connected to the Spleen and Stomach organ systems.
šæ Physically, these organs transform food and fluids into blood and energy. šæ Energetically, they help us process thoughts, emotions, and life experiences.
When Earth energy is strong, we feel grounded, mentally clear, and energetically stable. When it's depletedāby stress, heavy foods, or lack of restāwe may feel anxious, foggy, or drained.
š Did you know? In TCM, the flavour linked to the Earth element is sweet. If you're craving sugary treats or drinks, it may be a sign your Earth energy is out of balance.
š Another interesting connection: our brain feeds on glucose, and in TCM, itās the Spleen that governs thinking, memory, and concentration.
š¼ Everyday Practices to Support Earth Energy: 1ļøā£ Eat seasonal foods like pumpkin, sweet potatoes, apples, pears, peaches, prunes, and warming herbs. 2ļøā£ Keep dinner light and finish eating before 7PMāovereating weakens Spleen Qi. 3ļøā£ Try a simple foot massage to stimulate the Stomach and Spleen meridiansāan easy way to ground yourself. 4ļøā£ Practice abdominal breathing to release tension, move Qi, and support your digestion from the inside out.
If youād like to go deeper into supporting the Earth element and explore how Qigong can support healthy digestion, emotional balance and natural weight loss, explore the Qigong for Weight Loss course available in the membership space.
