The Earth Element
The season that belongs to the Earth Element is called late summer, it is neither summer nor autumn but a time in between when the heat of the summer has passed but the autumn has not yet begun. The fruit is ripe and ready to be picked. It is a time of slowing down, and gathering in; when we can recognise and hold the fruits of our labour.
In some circles people think of the season of Earth as the time between each season, a sort of grounding or home base that we need to return to before moving into the next season.
Earth represents our mother, the relationship where we are nourished and nurtured; think mother nature. If we do not have that connection with mother/nature, we feel deprived, craving sympathy. Equally, if we are over-mothered we could lack independence, whining and constantly seeking sympathy.
Grounding ourselves in The Earth Element
- Enjoy the abundance of seasonal fruit and vegetables
- Practice mindfulness
- Share; cook for others to nourish them
- Reflect on your own harvest, where are you in your life
- Think about what you need to do to prepare for autumn
- Simplify your life
The Earth Collection
All Round Flourishing is inspired by the acupuncture point Sp 20 which is also often known as Encircling Glory. The point emphasises the nurturing and compassion of Earth. We felt it was the perfect point to reflect the sense of peace and calm that our face cream and oil convey.
Coming Soon ...We hope to release a new blend called Abundant Splendour early in 2023, it will reflect the solidity and wholesome nature of The Earth Element.
In the meantime, try our products in Sea of Calm, as the blend is similar in nature to the equalising/grounding effect of Earth.
