【The six nature energy - Chi】The autumnal equinox

The autumnal equinox is the day where the Ying & Yang energy in the atmosphere is at the same level. It simply means the time between day and night is roughly the same.

Since this day, the day gets shorter it means the Yang energy in the atmosphere is starting to go down, to the underground. Yang is heat, so at wintertime where all Yang energy is hidden in the deep underground, the groundwater temperature is actually higher than the temperature measured in the summertime.

This phenomenon is already known thousands of years ago by the ancestors.

Similarly, our body’s Yang energy is cycling back to our Kidney as well; therefore, it is key to help your body to cycle the Yang energy. Spicy food should be avoided for most people as it prevents the downward cycle of Yang energy. However, the way to maintain a healthy body is to know your body type and adjust accordingly.
