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
