Feng
Shui for Digestion ~Romancing
the Food by
BJ Gorman,
MTIA Earth is
physical. It’s
Ch’i qualities are fertility,
practicality, stability, sensuality, staying grounded & organized on all
levels, aliveness, connected. It is
found in brick, stucco, ceramics, earthenware, opaque finishes like faux
finishes, and in earth-tones such as yellow and beige.
Earth is associated with the sectors of Love and Relationship and the
Center of the Bagua Map. Good
health is balanced and centered. The
earth element allows us to ground ourselves and be in the present and open to
the goodness of life. Mealtime
is the time to nurture ourselves emotionally and physically. To properly
assimilate and digest your food, settle into the moment of the meal.
Eating on the run challenges our digestion.
Eating in a loud busy atmosphere keeps our stomach from relaxing to
receive the nourishment of our food. Eating
is an earthbound “Yin” activity - feminine, soft, quiet, silent, and slow.
An upset stomach tells us to slow down and be present.
Is your dining area a quiet place? To
create a nurturing mood in your eating space cover the table with a tablecloth,
place mats, add candles, and flowers on the table, soothing pictures on the
wall, cushions on the chairs, and some soft music. Setting
aside the time and creating the quiet space to dine allows us to connect with
our body and with those around us. As
you open to the goodness of life you ground and center. It can be helpful to
your health too. Turn off the TV to
turn on healthy assimilation and bring some romance into life. Visit www.spaceharmony.com
