Late Summer ChiBall Class
Welcome to the Late Summer Course. In this module we will explore the Earth Element and Late Summer and the associated correspondences. In the Taoist tradition the Earth Element represents the energy that is predominant in the time of Late Summer.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine’s five Elements, there is a fifth season recognized as the last month of summer and the middle of the Chinese year. Referred to as Late Summer, it sits in the cycle of seasons like a plateau of still, tranquil energy marked by heat, ripening and fullness. Time seems to slow down and no one wants to move as quickly. The season of Late Summer corresponds with the Earth element, acting as a point of transition from yang (or masculine energy) to the yin feminine energy. The Earth element holds the space between the expanding growth cycle of Spring (Wood element) and the playful, active offerings of Summer (Fire element) and the inward, cooler, more mysterious Autumn (Metal element and Winter (Water element) seasons.
In the Five Element system of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) there is an aspect of each of us that identifies with each of the elements. The Earth organs of stomach and spleen are responsible for the building and maintenance of the whole body. The organ tissues assigned to Earth are muscle, fat, and connective tissue. The spleen helps generate blood, keeps it (blood) in the vessels, and also generates white blood cells in bone marrow, which support the immune system.
