As a trained Acupuncturist and a Nutritional Therapist who uses the Five Elements in my work it is often the case that I notice when an element is out of balance just as much as when it is healthy. The Earth element with its soft naturally curling, circular energy can easily get stuck in a roundabout cycle of patterns, beliefs and thoughts, this can be seen when we constantly 'chew' something over, worrying continually or get obsessive in any area of our life.
Whereas healthy habits and routine gives some structure to our lives, dogedly repeating actions and thoughts that do not serve us end up leaving us feel disatisfied, contracted and unhappy; and using the Earth as an analogy rather like sticky, cloddy, clay soil.
The saying which goes something like 'If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always got' comes to mind and reminds us to always try and find new ways of doing things so we are consciously breaking repetitve patterns and so turning over new soil.
There is a wonderful point on the Spleen meridian (spleen 8) called Earth Motivator, this is a wonderful point for breaking up the metaphorical cloddy, clay soil and creating fresh aerated soil, in other words fresh patterns and new ways of doing things....so today consider if you have got stuck somewhere and whether it is time to turn over some new soil, have a great day Carol x
