Health Myths

The Monkey in July

In July the Monkey has some bouts of curiosity and impulsiveness, but is mostly quiet; resting, moving slower as the days have grown warmer—a definitely step down from the energetic frenzy that was propelled by the Wood element of Spring. In July, there are still some intense moments, but nothing like in Spring.

The Monkey, because of its fluid movements and ability to get into tight, hard to reach places, is considered to represent Water energy. So, since summer is Fire time, and Water works hard to control Fire, the Monkey gets tired more easily in summer.

To rejuvenate and enjoy its spirit, in summer the monkey rests more, doesn’t overdo it, get too stressed, and spends more time by the stream drinking cool water.


 

Health Myths

The “myths” we’re presenting are from tales, lore, legends, and stories, that reach back far into our collective past. Stories that package “facts of life” in a wrapper made of metaphor and poetic perspective. A process that begins with thought, and continues with a feeling.

So loosen your gaze, and let your peripheral vision come into focus. You’ll begin to see possibilities that you didn’t even know were there.
