“Yi dao, Qi dao” where the mind goes, the energy follows. ✨
Each element has a spiritual quality, and for the Earth Element and Late Summer, it is Yi.
Yi is often translated as intention or focused thought and has the ability to turn ideas into action.
I was reminded of this on a beautiful walk in the Scottish Borders at the weekend. It was my first proper walk up hill since a knee injury, and I’d spent quite a while thinking about whether I was ready.
Sometimes our thoughts can go round and round without taking us anywhere. The mind can get caught in worry and “what ifs”.
This is what we mean by the Earth element’s Yi becoming stuck, thinking without moving forward.
Sometimes, we simply need to trust, take a breath and take the first step. 🌻.
