Yesterday was the first day of DOYO the season. What is DOYO? According to the five elements theory — wood(spring), fire(summer), earth(DOYO), metal(autumn), and water(winter) — are believed to be the fundamental elements of everything in the universe between which interactions occur. The season in CA is now spring, which is influenced by Wood energy, but to be precise, we are now in DOYO (Earth/Soil) season empowered by intense earth energy as well. Each season fixed according to the sun's longitude: Spring-27°, summer-117°, autumn-207°, and winter-297°, and 18 days before the beginning of each season, we have DOYO seasons. Which means we have 4 DOYO seasons throughout the year. Yesterday was the first day of Spring DOYO. During DOYO, the unsettled air of the transformation from spring to summer, summer to autumn, autumn to winter, winter to spring is floating around us, strong energy from the earth is arising at the same time. Earth is the energy of the soil. The soil is the place where life is born and returns. It means that the soil has two completely opposite sides of power, which are reproduction and the putrefaction. People who are suffering from chronic disorders may be worse during this DOYO season. Especially for Spring DOYO, people who suffer from eczema, and any types of allergy tend to get influenced more. But if we learn how to cope with this DOYO season in our daily life, we may prevent it. Even people who don't have any symptoms, if they embrace this DOYO energy around us, and carefully choose the food we eat, our body and mind sustain healthily, and will be ready to welcome to the new season with healthy well being… The opposite word of "putrefaction" is "fermentation," but these two words are deeply connected to the same root. If we eat more processed food, fat, animal food, & white sugar, the inside of our intestines are close to the sate of "putrefaction." On a process of digestion, they produce various toxins, and harmful bacteria thrive. But, if you eat more plant-based food, and fermented food such as MISO, any types of pickles such as sauerkraut, KIMCHI, ume plums, your good bacteria in the intestine thrive. Then, it nourishes and preserve cells in the colon and the liver, and prevent gastrointestinal diseases as well as cancer and heart disease. According to many macrobiotic books, they refer to "Earth" energy as of late autumn, and I agree with it as well. From the late fall to the beginning of winter, we have a fall/autumn DOYO season. Which means we are deeply influenced by the energy of the earth. I believe every theory may be true to each individual. We can learn the knowledge, digest, and cultivate it into our lifestyle. I hope everyone spends healthy, and happy Spring/Doyo season💕
