Balance of energy in the home, in how we eat, and in our lifestyle ~ matters.
When we get to the kitchen section of a Feng Shui consultation, I always like to discuss how the basic principles of Yin & Yang and the 5 Elements apply to how we eat as well as to the feng shui of an environment. For a personalized consultation for your body archetype, contact me.
In the 8 Rays of Chinese medicine, our constitutional archetype determines what is most beneficial for us to eat.
If we have a cold- Yin nature, than warm Yang foods will help to balance our energy. Refrigerated foods cool are bodies, and if we are already cold in nature, it is more appropriate to eat warming soups, warming ginger or lemon juice, and cooked, not raw or cold foods.
This would be similar to using warm, Yang colors in our environments to uplift our energy especially in the winter, and to use cool, Yin colors in the summer.
Americans mainly consider eating what is tasty, easy, quick and the latest trend that the advertisers are promoting-rather than what is best for our overall wellness, which in turn leads to more success in life.
We either starve ourselves to cast off weight or overeat, over drink, or over drug as a substitution to addressing stress and emotional issues. Both are extremes of Yin and Yang, which negatively impact our liver and spleen/stomach functions.
Balance the 5 Elements and Yin & Yang
When the Earth (spleen-stomach) energy becomes exaggerated, then the energy of the balancing organ -Wood (Liver) becomes under active and cannot purify our internal systems the natural way or balance the emotions in the feeling body.
First, business encourages us to eat foods that negatively impact our natural digestive abilities ~ harmful toxic processed foods. Then they come to the rescue with more products for us to buy -in the name of cleansing and purifying, or providing temporary relief with their formulas.
My intention in a consultation is to help you understand the ‘why’ and ‘how to’ balance all aspects of your life.
It is imperative that we empower ourselves to regain control of our digestion systems so they can work the way nature meant them to operate. This will naturally strengthen your Qi energy.
Do you need caffeine injections to meet the continuous push to increase productivity and the go go lifestyle? If so,it is because your body is not receiving all the nutrients it needs, and at the right time of day.
We can learn to understand how our bodies work, and what is best for each of our very individual needs.
