I am fortunate to have a rather large back garden which has and continues to provide me with a lovely view of the changing seasons and various forms of wildlife. Visitors to the garden are primarily various variety of bees and birds and less often cats, hedgehogs, foxes, and ducks. Last year I planted six lavender bushes and the bees thronged to them. This spring I have allocated a section of the garden to become a wild garden. Today the seed packs for a variety of wildflowers arrived. The garden will also feature a ‘bee hotel’.
We are part of nature and it is good to recognise this and our moods, feelings, and bodies in general as we move through the various seasons. Sometimes our bodies do not adjust smoothly as seasons change and this is where an acupuncture treatment in each season can be greatly beneficial. The Chinese recognised 5 seasons, Winter, Spring, summer, Late Summer, and Autumn. The one that most people have not heard of is the Late summer. This is time of year when the harvest takes place, typically late August into September.
The season(s) that you might favour more than others is significant. In balance and harmony, we feel at ease in all the seasons. As without, so within.
