Ten pairs of opposites:
cold/hot | wet/dry | heavy/light | gross/subtle | dense/flowing |
static/mobile | dull/sharp | soft/hard | smooth/rough | cloudy/clear |
Six tastes:
bitter | astringent | pungent |
sweet | sour | salty |
Physical energetic forces in the body and excess sign:
movement | In excess: dryness |
transformation | In excess: inflammation |

Balance your individual digestive type within the seasonal qualities and energies. It is good to stay close to our body, listen, feel, and pay close attention to what it is showing us, and what we are thinking and feeling. Then take necessary action for personal balance and well-being.
OBSERVING NATURE, CHOOSING BALANCE
A MOTHER'S REFLECTIONS
It is a Privilege to be a Mother
... to create, nurture, and protect new life until that person is strong and competent enough to take care of itself. I know that mothers have courage of a special kind, and true leadership ability to support and encourage a child in their own abilities, and then let go of this role of protector and nurturer to flow forward in their own life once again when her child has grown. Mothers need to be adaptable on every level of their being. The ability to grow, carry, and birth a child is no small thing! It is a natural wonder and sacred ability that creates sacred bonds and enables life. Fathers, too, know the magic of holding a life they have helped to create, and the sacrifices they must make to provide security and nurturance.
The role of caring for family and home is an important one that requires time, energy, presence, attention, and action. Supporting the daily nourishment and well-being of self and others is a big task. It is a special task. If a mother chooses to add to this role or is required to out of necessity she must take extra care towards her daily well-being, particularly through food, drink, rest, movement, and regular expression of feeling. Support of a loving partner helps a mother's life flourish and consequently their child's. Mutual respect and care in partnership, and appreciation of different masculine and feminine roles is a truth about human life not a question of equality. It is only once you have had a child that you understand the load on body and being and what is individually possible.
The masculine and feminine forces in life are important and refined qualities which complement each other and provide important abilities. This is different to male and female gender which are core physical realities. Nature equips us with important faculties that we can value and use to support and care for life. Both hard, sharp, active qualities are required as well as soft, nourishing, calm, aesthetic qualities. Life is truly a wonder! And being a parent is a precious possibility.
