In our bodies, the earth is represented by the stomach and spleen, the organs that receive food and enable us to be nourished by its essence. It is a time to slow down, to gather inward. It is time to look at your personal harvest, to celebrate your creation while also letting go of the fruits of your labor.
Late summer is associated with the power of "decrease" at the same time with the hight of abundance.
Stomach and Spleen meridians run through the front of the thighs and then into the stomach. Then repeat the same two poses on the other side. Slowly release to either child pose or take a brief Downward Facing Dog. Stay for 2 minutes, then transition to low dragon by walking the right leg to the right, hands come inside, stay with elbows straight, or lower them on a block or on the ground. Take care of your neck, unclench your jaw. Let the left hip get heavy and earthy, feel the gravity. Your right heel can also be positioned closer to your right sitting-bone, letting the knee come over the ankle if your knee feels happy about it. You can use blocks under hands like I do on the picture to gain some extra height if it feels good. You start by stepping right leg forward, settling the back knee down (possibly on a blanket so it won't hurt). Both the Metal and Earth element help to facilitate grounding, generating present moment awareness along with slowing down and letting go of what no longer serves. I hope to get my technical s**** together soon and have the video up as well, but until then, maybe the picture-sequence and explanations below can help you with this transitional season time.Īnd of course this sequence can be used during other season as well. I returned the next day to film this clip for you - to share the moment in a yin way. The exact conditions were present that tickle every fibre in me - I feel like time stops and I breathe one with the eternal moment! I did just that - spent the day in silence exploring a bit the forrest surrounding the lake, swimming, reading, drinking tea, dozing. The summer crowds were gone, yet the water was still swimmable, the sun bake-able. It was one of those magical days, when the summer warmth was still palpable, yet so was the crisp of autumn. A few days after Autumn equinox I took a drive to a gorgeous lake about an hour from Berlin (Liepnitzee).
