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.  (Want to learn more about Gui people? Just follow the link: http://altheachineseastrology.blogspot.rs/2018/01/ten-selves-gui-people.html ) 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 ess...

Life lessons can come upon us at any time in our lives, some of which we can learn from our bodies.  Our bodies firmly connect us with the pure essence of life, as depicting in an ancient Latin phrase is: A healthy body houses a healthy mind. Our constitution is determined at birth – it makes some individuals healthy and unaware of their bodies while others can instinctively pick up on some health issues from time due to being in touch with their bodies. In a series of blog posts, we have examined the Self and its vital link to health. This post focuses on the Ren Self. (Want to learn more about Ren people?

Our bodies are the most interesting – and sometimes complicated – mechanisms in the world. Both fragile and strong. Easily broken and a system that is capable of mending itself. They sustain our lives and house the Self within the flesh and muscle.  Learning more about our health is imperative to Chinese Astrology Ba Zi, which teaches us that the Ten Selves each have a meridian organ that can show signs of physical, energetic and emotions imbalances that we can address with improving our lifestyle. In this post, we focus on the Xin Self.  (Want to learn more about Xin people?
