Security is not created on the outside. It grows within you.
🌾 Dojo time - the energy of the earth
In TCM, the dojo period belongs to the earth element - it is the phase of transition that gives us stability and confidence.
The earth element stands for our inner center, the ability to adapt and the feeling of security. But when this energy is weakened, we feel insecure, restless and uprooted.
Many experience disorientation during this time,
as if the ground beneath your feet was no longer firm.
However, this is not a sign of weakness, but a natural process.
The solution? Don't fight against the feeling - anchor yourself in it.
✨ 3 steps for more trust & inner security:
1️⃣ Find peace in your breath. 🌬️
Sit down comfortably, close your eyes.
Breathe in deeply through your nose and slowly out through your mouth.
Feel how your breath comes and goes like a wave - steadily, reliably.
💡 Tip: Practice 4-7-8 breathing to immediately feel safer and calmer:
- Breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds.
- Hold for 7 seconds and feel the calm.
- Exhale through your mouth for 8 seconds.
👉 This breathing technique signals to your body: "I'm safe."

2️⃣ Choose food that grounds you. 🍵
-The earth element loves warm, sweet, nutritious food.
-Tip: Oatmeal with dates & cinnamon strengthens your center and gives you a feeling of security.
Tea recommendation: Drink fennel-aniseed-caraway tea - it calms the stomach and harmonizes emotions.
3️⃣ Strengthen your confidence through rituals. ✍️
-Write down three things every evening that have given you a sense of stability today.
-Drink your tea calmly in the morning and breathe consciously.
-Feel inside yourself for a moment every day: "What gives me support today?"
