Classical Roots: Self-Care Through the Seasons

• Leaning on foundational wisdom from 《黃帝內經》 (Huangdi Nei Jing) & 四氣調神.

  Here's how to align:

  
  

  • Fire-Dominant Season (Summer, maturing into Earth):

    • Calm the Inner Fire—think moderation, cooling activity, shade, reflective pause.

    • Strengthen the Heart and Fire organs, Emotions related, in this sense of firey year, it would be beneficial to have restful evenings, gentle rhythms, evening rhythms over high-octane action, therapy, meditation and self care practices.

      
      

  • Suggested Momentum with Grounded Ritual: 

    Fire Horse brings heat and action, so we can temper it with daily practices:

    • Morning stillness (quiet breath or journaling).

    • Evening closure (sunset pause, expressive reflection, gratitude).

    • Seasonal check-ins at the "Living with the 24 solar terms" article—especially 夏至 (Summer Solstice), 立秋 (Start of Autumn), and 小暑/大暑 (Minor/Major Heat)—to recalibrate energy and pace.
