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 →

Wealth & Debt

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on December 7, 2019 by Dr. Sarita CoxDecember 8, 2019

  Wealth & Debt. As we continue through the seasonal and elemental period of metal/autumn toward the return to earth transitional period around the upcoming winter solstice, it would be incomplete not to touch on the subject of currency, money and wealth. Here I share with you some questions, key concepts and influencers which have helped evolve my relationship healthier with money and currency exchange. My relationship with money, abundance or poverty, is my responsibility. In August of this year, I was wildly proud to reach debt-free status.  In my starry-eyed idealistic fashion of being in the world (we are … Continue reading →

A Haudenosaunee “Thanksgiving” Prayer:   A Native American Traditional Blessing Today we have gathered and we see that the cycles of life continue.

Now our minds are one. The Earth Mother We are all thankful to our Mother, the Earth, for she gives us all that we need for life. She supports our feet as we walk about upon her.

F4: Separator of the Pure from the Impure

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on July 26, 2019 by Dr. Sarita CoxAugust 12, 2019

SMALL INTESTINES THE SEPARATOR OF PURE FROM IMPURE             As most of the planet is enduring and even setting heat records during the peak of the fiery summer season, in the Southern U.S., we are experiencing an unseasonably cool period this week.  Here we continue with our seasonal theme of the fire element and the elemental organ system. The element of fire embodies the bright, light, energetic essence of yang. However, fire without the grounding influence of Earth easily flares out of control.  The 2nd century dictionary Shuowen jiezi defines the heart as an Earth element, predating the concept of Heart … Continue reading →

F2: Bless Your Heart

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on July 12, 2019 by Dr. Sarita CoxJuly 15, 2019

BLESS YOUR HEART “If the spirit is at peace, the heart is in  harmony;  when  the  heart  is  in  harmony,  the body  is  whole;  if  the  spirit  becomes  aggravated the heart wavers, and when the heart wavers the body  becomes  injured;  if  one  seeks  to  heal  the physical  body,  therefore,  one  needs  to  regulate the  spirit  first.” ~ Liu Zhou, a 6th century Chinese philosopher. Every organ in our bodies has functions and responsibilities. Some are physical while others are psychological and spiritual.  The fire element, which peaks during the summer season, governs the HEART as well as the small … Continue reading →

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on June 28, 2019 by Dr. Sarita CoxJuly 15, 2019

In the South, cooking and eating are central to bringing people together, spending time with loved ones, and developing new friendships.   The seasonal return to the Earth element invites simple methods of food preparation that allow more time for self-love and beloveds.  Golden and earth toned foods like millet, corn, amaranth, rice, garbanzo, golden split mung and soy beans, hazelnuts, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, yams, squash, carrots, apricots, and cantaloupe are harmonizing choices.  All root vegetables strengthen our internal Earth.   Keep spices, seasonings and flavors mild during these days of transition and keep food temperatures not too hot and … Continue reading →
