The Damp Energies of Late summer


The Damp Energies of Late Summer

In Traditional Chinese Medicine there are two energy channels which associate with the late summer.  This is a time of dampness as the dews arrive and the rains come.  The two energy channels of the late summer are the Stomach and the Spleen channels.

The stomach channel is about respecting others for the path they are walking and the spleen channel is about using our own wisdom wisely. If the person begins to place restrictions in these channels they are about feeling let down by others or even the universe and becoming confused with events in life rather than using our own wisdom to see us through.  As the fascia becomes blocked then the colours become darker. 

The colours of the stomach channel are the yellows and pale blues of being able to trust in the process of life itself.  The colours of the spleen are the ochres of the leaves at this time of the year.
As with all the energy channels they are associated with the Zodiac signs.  The spleen channel is associated with Virgo and the stomach channel is associated with Libra.  The energy channels also give us clues over the diseases most commonly seen in these people.  The spleen people often suffer from confusion and diabetes.  The stomach people often have problems around the stomach and the oesophagus as they come to terms with old memories they fail to understand
