Food from the Seasons



Nature is a Divine Mystery that holds many pleasures, while teaching mankind about cycles. By observing and patterning nature’s cycles we can recognize the unique cycle each human possesses. Following cycles of change allows us to honor nature’s cycles, as well as our own. Furthermore, these cycles relate to the elements for patterning healing or disturbing arousing disease in mankind fostered at the physical body level. In addition, emotions respond to all cycles as they begin vast levels to dismiss negative emotions that have the potential for illness or disease, as well as retain them. Meanwhile positive emotions are harmonious to all cycles as they function with the subtle anatomy in assisting to recognize and honor each individual’s rhythm in nature and mankind. Mankind has an energy field with a distinct vibration that regulates a rhythm with the elements.


It is apparent that five elements, mentioned and taught in traditional Chinese Medicine, are fundamental matter as well as energy.
  • Water- liquid, fluid, solution.
  • Fire- heat, combustion.
  • Wood- expansion in all directions.
  • Metal- solid, congelation, mouldability.
  • Earth- nutrition
WINTER

Element- Water.               

Winter is associated with storage and embodies a seed. It consists of short hours for light.
These five elements symbolize different directions of movement:
  • Water- downward.
  • Fire- upward.
  • Wood- expansion in all directions.
  • Metal- contractive, inward.
  • Earth- neutral or stable.

SPRING

Element- Wood.

The association of birth allows spring to embody the power for new life. Day light hours become longer in communicating assertiveness for life to push onward with perseverance.

SUMMER

Element- Fire.

The growth associated with summer embodies a rhythm of fruition. Daylight hours have grown long in order to communicate radiant light to ignite the heat of optimism.


FALL

Element- Metal.

The association of a harvest is embodied in completion. This complete embodiment of faith is in that the dying of the old makes way for the new with a vision of standards that need to occur, while being highly motivated with peace and attainment of each cycle.

INDIAN SUMMER

Element- Earth.

The center of rhythm is embodied and oriented toward transitions from one season to the next. This late season is associated with transformation, which in turn allows for cycles to continue in the ease they need within a rhythm to balance.

Each of these cycles and rhythms teach mankind to go on in any ‘death’ of the body, mind and/or spirit by continually providing examples of seeds, new life, fruition, transitions and completion. This allows mankind to identify the lessons in life are patterns in primary behavior imprinted by a season.

In summary, the energy of these rhythms or seasons blend with emotions to create a core cycle that influences actions/re-actions to the manner in which you take care of yourself, others and nature. This allows for an understanding how the north-south-east-west is instructed by God’s initial ‘word’ commands the universe through the five senses.

Let no fear rule your love:
Listen, but not with your ears;
Feel, but not with a touch;
Taste, but not with your tongue;
Look, but not with your eyes;
Smell, but not with your nose.

Keeping your heart center open will not let the doors to the senses shut and the heart is where the door to love is first opened.
