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 →

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 →

Earth: Shake into your muscles

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on December 23, 2022 by Dr. Sarita CoxDecember 23, 2022

Learning to “shake it off” during times of stress could be as simple as practicing just that, shaking.   The traditional warm up before practicing a qi gong form is 5-15 minutes of shanking.  We progressively shake deeper starting with our skin, into the muscles, tendons, bones and organs. Read our blog post about Qigong Shaking: https://drsaritaelizabeth.com/fire-creates-earth/ A daily habit of shaking for five minutes will pave a path of wellness for you.  Need science to convince you?

Earth: Convert discord into harmony

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on December 23, 2022 by Dr. Sarita CoxDecember 23, 2022

Convert discord into harmony.       It is time to come home. It is time to find your true center.    The 18 days around each solstice & equinox hold the power of transition. The fifth season of earth resonates with trust, harmony and abundance.       Here are a few practices that I encourage my patients to utilize during the earth season to break up discord:   1. Take a walk.  Nature works best but a few flights of stairs, a walk around the building or the block interrupts the pattern.   2. Bring awareness to your … Continue reading →
