TCM Seasons: Summer
Today is the Summer Solstice and as the longest day of the year paints the world with golden warmth and abundant energy, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) beckons us to align with the season's essence and nourish ourselves.
In TCM, summer corresponds to the color red, the element of fire and is associated with the heart. We are invited to embrace the vibrant energy of the fire element, which symbolizes joy, connection, and transformation.
🔴 Red is the color associated with summer, symbolizing warmth, vitality, and the fiery energy of the season.
❤️ The heart is the organ corresponding to summer, governing blood circulation, housing the spirit, and influencing emotional well-being.
🔥 Fire represents the energy of summer. It represents warmth, passion, enthusiasm, and the transformative power of the sun's rays.
Understanding these associations can help us deepen our connection to nature and provide insights into the specific TCM practices and lifestyle choices that can support our health this time of year.
Embracing summer's radiance with TCM is about cultivating joy, fostering connections, and embracing transformation. Let the color red inspire your vitality, the heart guide your emotional well-being, and the fire element ignite your passion and enthusiasm. Embody the season's warmth, engage in heart-centered activities, and allow the transformative power of this time to shine through.
