In Late Summer we focus on our Earth Energy, stabilizing our passionate fire energy and preparing us for the coming Autumn when traditionally farmers would be reaping their harvest. Earth is sometimes viewed as a transitional phase in TCM, not only occurring at the end of Summer but also appearing in the lulls between seasons as well.
Fittingly the organs that it corresponds to the spleen, pancreas, and stomach, all partake in the digestive process, facilitating the transition of food into nutrients and distributing them through our body, similar to the small intestines.
