Happy Summer Solstice! As we approach the middle of 2022 and the beginning of summer, take a moment to reflect on how your year has been thus far, where you are now, and where you are going. Journal, draw, or put on a piece of music and dance it out.
SUMMER
Stay cool through the rising heat. Sip on herbal iced teas, or make a refreshing herbal highball. Make cucumber salads with fresh garden herbs. Create sun teas with mint family plants like peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm and lavender. Make and freeze fresh pesto. Revel in the abundance of this time of year.
Summer is associated with the Fire Element in Chinese Medicine. Move more fully into your body and life, and complete your big passion projects. As you travel into your bold summer adventures, remember to rest, relax, and create pockets of spaciousness for freeform play– and simply doing nothing. (Acupuncture can help!)
