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

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.

Water ~ Be like Water

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on January 4, 2020 by Dr. Sarita CoxJanuary 23, 2023

    Winter, according to the wisdom of the elements, is about dreaming, resting, relaxing, restoring, recharging and germinating seeds which will break through the thawing frozen ground of winter come spring when energy naturally moves upward and outward.  Plans made and action taken in harmony with the greater cycles of the cosmos, are much more likely to come to fruition. Over the last few years, I have been observing, studying and syncing myself with the elemental cycles as practiced by the ancients. I often call it ‘re-wilding’ myself. I started with Seasonal Wellness classes in 2015. In 2019 I … Continue reading →

BREATHE DEEP

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on October 18, 2019 by Dr. Sarita CoxOctober 21, 2019

Breathe Deep.  Are you mindful of your breathing? Healthy lungs are vital to our overall health.   The autumn season represents the Lung (肺)  phase of our body’s seasonal cycle as it is the season associated with the Lung and its partner, the Large Intestine (Colon). If you are prone to catching colds or struggle with allergies in the Fall, it’s important to take care of these organs! Every organ in our bodies has functions and responsibilities. Some are physical while others are psychological and spiritual.  The metal element, which peaks during the autumn season, governs the LUNGS as well … Continue reading →
