Our energy increases during these seasons, enhanced by the temper- ate climate, welcome sunshine, and anticipation of summer vacations. Spring and summer represent light, sunshine, and brightness; it is a time of intense activity and joy in Traditional Asian Medicine, Five Elements Theory, and agrarian so- cieties. Cultivate your Qi (life force) this spring and summer, and experi- ence increased vitality and improved health. The Qi of the body is in a constant state of movement: growth, expan- sion, decline, contraction, and rest. The Yin Qi is the feminine primor- dial Qi of the body The Yang Qi is the epitome of the masculine Qi of mind-body-spirit. Yin is dark, fluid, cool, moist, and nourishing like wa- ter, our blood, and the night. Yang is bright, warm, dry, and uplifting like the sun, our energy, and daytime. Achieving a balance between the two promotes good health. The ancient Chinese associ- ated summer with the fire element, growth, heat, the color red, joy, and laughter. Following the seasonal approach of Five Phases (spring, summer, late summer, fall, winter), we emerge from the lesser Yang of springtime to soar into summer. Summertime is playtime in our so- ciety, especially along the beautiful Central California Coast. Sustain summer activity by incor- porating the varied and abundant local Central Coast vegetables and fruits into your diet. Vitamins and minerals. in the produce replace what we lose during running, hiking, kayaking, walking, and Qigong en- ergetics. On warmer days focus on cooling fresh foods such as salads, sprouts, cucumber, and tofu. On a particularly hot day, watermelon and apples can replenish your body flu- ids. On cooler overcast days, include energetically warmer foods such as ginger tea, guava, raspberries, bell peppers, leaks, and onions. Moder- ately warm proteins such as chick- en, shrimp, walnuts, and wheat bran help us sustain activity without causing sluggishness. Caution: avoid a diet of overly cold foods, especially here on the tem- perate coast. A diet that predomi- nately relies on raw foods, salads, yogurt, and dairy creates stagnant cold and damp in our middle jiao (digestive system).
