Water ~ Listen and wait

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on March 14, 2023 by Dr. Sarita CoxMarch 14, 2023

Listen and wait.   Winter is the most yin time of the year – the most receptive season. Practice reserve. Spring has not yet come. We are still dreaming our dreams. Practice listening to the stillness. Practice waiting in the void.   Join our email for seasonal retreats, nature connects https://follow.it/drsaritaelizabeth?action=followPub

Water ~ Invoke your innate intelligence

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on March 14, 2023 by Dr. Sarita CoxMarch 14, 2023

Invoke your innate intelligence. We have never had more immediate access to information. We can acquire certificates and degrees from the comfort of our own home. Opinions on most anything is available 24/7. Agenda and propaganda masquerade as news while dissenting voices are censored. Intelligence is the ability to acquire, filter, sort and apply information. There are many forms of intelligence: artificial, abstract, logical, emotional, social, creative, adaptive, self-aware, critical thinking, problem solving. Intelligence is not an agency. The proper place for human beings is between heaven and earth. Our birthright is heavenly connection and earthly incarnation. Our innate intelligence … Continue reading →

Water ~ Develop true humility

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on March 14, 2023 by Dr. Sarita CoxMarch 14, 2023

Develop true humility. How can we develop healthy humility? Passionate curiosity is a start. In the asking, we engage the other and the ego is checked. Service is a good middle. How does it feel when we volunteer our best hours of the week, donate our most valuable items or fund a heart felt cause? In the end, seek original origins. Humilis is the Latin root meaning low.   By our own choice, consequence, or chance, true humility is often the outcome of experiencing great depth, deep troubles or profound sorrows. Water, the element of winter, teaches us how to … Continue reading →

Water ~ Power, Drive and will

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on March 14, 2023 by Dr. Sarita CoxMarch 14, 2023

Power, drive & will. The kidneys are the storehouse of will. They are our ambition, our batteries, our strength. The kidneys, adrenals and bladder are ruled by water. Water is the element of winter. Have you ever considered your power, your drive or your will like unto water? I was raised up on the Tennessee River. The singing river has been harnessed to provide hydroelectric power to the multitudes at the expense of snails and darters and such. In our highest, most healthy state our power is like a mighty river determined in it’s purposefulness. In our highest, most healthy … Continue reading →

Water ~ You are a visionary

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on March 14, 2023 by Dr. Sarita CoxMarch 14, 2023

You are a visionary. The water element paired organs that peak in winter are the Bladder and Kidney (plus adrenals). The bladder meridian travels from the inner canthus of the eye across the head down the back side of the entire body exiting out the little toe. It traverses all of us. Many of the point names indicate their function: bright eyes, supporting yang, supporting middle, celestial pillar, soul door, spirit hall, spiritual celestial connection, soul gate. Acupuncture treats all levels of the human – mind, body, spirit. Treating the bladder points can not only treat our organs like the … Continue reading →

Water ~ Supervise the storehouse of pure energy

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on March 14, 2023 by Dr. Sarita CoxMarch 14, 2023

Supervise the storehouse of pure energy. The kidneys store jing – our primal energy. This essence is to be guarded, protected, treasured not squandered or frittered away. It determines our fertility, growth, development, vitality and longevity. It is one of the three treasures: jing, qi and shen. The kidneys are the expression of the water element in our bodies. Their energy peaks in winter offering harmonious opportunities for winter support and healing. Fulfilling our destiny is healing. The way of this deep healing summons and joins celestial jing with our terrestrial jing. In other words, jing is our DNA. In … Continue reading →

Water ~ Accept

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on February 3, 2023 by Dr. Sarita CoxFebruary 3, 2023

Accept. The critical first step in healing is accepting things as they actual are. We live in a world where there is plenty that requires our resistance. However, healing requires courageous honesty about ourself, our perceptions, our motivations, our circumstances and their cause. I have doubled down on my commitment to live a life in alignment with my core values and the elemental. My winter healing so far has looked like: Living without liquid stress. I had habituated a high quality jasmine green tea morning ritual. I would make one small pot of green tea then refresh the same leaves … Continue reading →

Earth: Too much sitting injures the spleen: qi gong

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on January 3, 2023 by Dr. Sarita CoxJanuary 3, 2023

The digestive organs are injured by stagnation.  Desk or remote virtual jobs, long hours of studying, research and writing keep us seated.  Relaxing and decompressing may also become habituated to screen time, gaming or media binging. Fatigue sets in from lack of activity; a sedentary life is injurious. Frankly, it is killing us slowly. The combination of oversitting and overthinking is a harmful combination for the earth organs,  particularly the spleen.  The lack of healthy circulation settles dampness deep into our systems. If you are prone to oversitting, please build in healthy habits.  Set a timer at the desk for … Continue reading →
