Summer is activity time!
The days are getting longer and the air is getting warmer because the increased amount of sunshine.
In May, June, and July the air is the warmest and the quality of Chi is Yang.
This type of energy tells us to be cautious especially in countries of the South like the Mediterranean, North-Africa or the Arab countries as the strength of the sun can be too much and the heat can be scorching.
“As the sun spirals its longest dance,
Cleanse us.
As nature shows bounty and fertility,
Bless us.
Let all things live with loving intent
And fulfill their truest destiny.”
What is the Summer Chi like?
Food and drink in the heat of the Summer
So especially, people who live in the above hot countries need to:
- Drink more water (2 liters per day).
- Eat more hydrating foods and fresh vegetables. For examples: melons, pineapple, cucumber and salads.
The organs which effected by the heat of the Summer are the skin, then small intestines and the lungs. Skin care is great importance in the heat of the sun.
Avoid alcohol as it means too much Fire energy to the body and heats up the system which can be already hot in the hot air.
You should take also salty foods, or drink salty water in case of physical activity in the heat. Himalaya salt, sea salt, salt from the Dead Sea are good quality to be used.
What does Summer Solstice mean?
The height of the Chi on 21st June and 22nd June in Chinese calendar called Ha Gee.
This time is the peak of the sun’s position above the Northern Hemisphere. It is the time of increased pressure and extreme of the activity. Until this point the Yang energy was growing to reach its peak. After this tipping point the Yin energy starts to grow. Although you may not be able to feel it, but from the astronomical point of view, this is the time when the sun reached its peak as it moved across the sky.
Summer Solstice means the end of the astronomical Summer.
Lifestyle
Work hard to follow the Summer Chi since there is no point in fighting it. But then also relax and take a holiday if you can.
You feel like to be active anyway because the daylight hours are so long.
Follow the Yin Chi towards the end of July and August when the Yin energy is getting stronger. It is time to get more relaxed and having more fun. For example in August there are more thunderstorms and the temperature is often getting cooler towards the end of the month anyway.
So Feng Shui is about following the natural cycle of the seasons.
Balance the Yin and Yang energy in the body, mind and soul.
