Your Self and Your Health: Yin Water (Gui) People



Regardless of our intelligence, wealth, looks and capabilities – we are all bound to a body. Some believe that the body is our primary limitation, but our bodies are instruments for grounding our souls. Chinese Astrology views the body as an interaction between the Five Elements. 

 These essential Elements form the constitution, determining physical strengths and weaknesses – and how we can find out ways to improve our knowledge and make a healthier lifestyle depending on the Element that the individual belongs to.

In the conclusion of our exploration of the Elemental Selves, we conclude with the Gui Self.

The meridian that influences the Gui Self is the Kidneys.

The Kidneys filter waste metabolites from the blood and control the fluids in the body. In TCM (What’s that?) the Kidneys are to store the body’s essential energy, taking charge of the sexual and reproductive functions.

This meridian represents an individual’s courage, endurance, and willpower. When it is healthy, the Kidneys cause a person to be perceptive, focused and wise. On the other hand, if the Kidneys are imbalanced – they can produce an adverse effect on willpower and short-term memory that induces fear and slow building paranoia.

Energetic disturbances in the Kidney meridian can involve criticism, disappointment, bad memory, a decrease in strength and endurance, shame and childish reactions.


Health advice for Gui:

•    Strengthen your Kidneys with bone broth.

•    Work out regularly, e.g., walking, running or cycling.

•    Take time out in nature.

•    Consume kidney beans, eggs, ginger, zucchini, cucumber, watermelon, vegetable soups, black sesame, walnuts, and wolf-berries.

•   Do Cupping or Moxa therapy to improve circulation.
