 Winter is the season when Yin is at its peak or, more accurately, when it is most condensed. Winter is the season of death and decay when most things in nature reach the end of their cycle and return to the earth. It is a time for stillness and reflection.
Within traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) the seasons are associated with the five phases of energy or five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water.
Water is the element associated with this season and expresses yin in its ultimate forms: cold, blue, dense, heavy and moving downwards. Water is a formidable force — it has the power to destroy life but is essential to sustain it. Taoist philosophers believed in observing nature and following its laws to achieve optimal health.

High summer is Yang in its fullest expression - radiant and energetic.
The bright sunny days lift our spirits and we feel more actively social, and find ourselves smiling and laughing more freely.
Within traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) the seasons are associated with the five phases of energy or five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water.
Fire is the Element for this season; it is bright, vibrant, magnetic, warm and alive. It illuminates, cleanses and inspires. It adds colour, variety and excitement in our lives.
