"This week, as we sit just a few days away from the Autumnal Equinox, we are going to honor the energy of balance and transitions that sits with the Earth element. Earth holds the balance for us during the equinox times, and supports transitions as we move from the longest day of the year to the shortest day and back again during solstice times. Always ready to nurture and support, Earth responds to the taste of sweetness."

“The taste that supports the Earth element is sweet and starchy, which means June is an excellent time to enjoy these super easy, no bake Coconut Joy Cookies!

“The taste that supports the Earth element is sweet and starchy, which means March is an excellent time to enjoy these super easy three-ingredient No Bake Oatmeal Cookies!”

“It’s long been known that specific flavors support and balance each of the Five Element energies. Today, we honor the balancing energy of Earth by using the sweet flavor of honey to make a wonderful, comforting, sugar-free dessert!”

Everything we put in our bodies affects us, so not only can we nurture ourselves with food, we can heal and balance ourselves with it, too. It’s long been known that specific flavors support and balance each of the Five Element energies.

"It’s long been known that specific flavors support and balance each of the Five Element energies. Since it’s still summer up here in the Northern hemisphere, we’re still honoring the summer energy of Fire, but we’re going to come at it a little bit differently this time. We’re going to use the taste that supports Earth, the element that pulls energy from Fire in the Five Elements model. This means that today is a perfect day for a healthy sweet like Chunky Monkey Oatmeal Bars because Earth responds to the taste of sweetness!"
