Seasonal Node : End of Heat

Since we just experienced the hottest July on record for the North Hemisphere, it is wonderful to bring you the seasonal node that starts tomorrow on August 22nd, End of Heat. Autumn is the time of year when Yin grows. Just as this is the time of year for bringing things to harvest, it is also the time for us to start becoming quieter and more introspective and focus on what is really important.

Seasonal Nodes : Minor Heat

The Minor Heat seasonal node marks an important change in the movement of Qi in the natural world. Summer Solstice began the transition from Yang-expansion to Yin-contraction in the environment. Therefore, Minor Heat is the first seasonal node in the Yin time of the year. However, although we are transitioning into the Yin time of the year, it will still be hot and getting hotter.
