Earth & Late Summer
Welcome earth element and energy!
A seasonal shift is upon us, the shortest season of late summer.
There is a gentle change in the feeling of the air and smell of the earth. The beginning of a soft crispness in the morning dew and a tone variance in the light of the mornings and evenings.
This is a bridge energy transition from full Yang of Summer and the Fire element to the inward pull of Yin within Yang of Fall and Metal season. A time to nourish, strengthen routine, rest to prepare for release and letting go.
I find this phase of the year directs me inwards to gather and reflect on the extroversion of the past few months, while cultivating space for what is truly meaningful on all levels.
Digestion might be funky after a summer of play, camping, and snacks! I highly encourage carving out a “home day” to cook simple warm foods and press reset in the center of your being.
This is a period of time to take space to sip coffee/tea in the deep, rich, and warm sunlight and savor moments of pause to notice the slow pull of the earth. So it is that we welcome the current of the earth and enjoy the sweetness of late summer.
Keep shining on beautiful souls :)
