Week 7, it's time for the 5th element: Earth. The earth qi, which lives in the spleen, is expressed as trust and grace when balanced, and with worry and doubt when imbalanced. Balanced earth qi is about contemplation. It is in the ability to consider all sides of a thing before acting and acting with confidence, trust, and grace. When something arises in your life to make a decision about, the earth element is the space of contemplation.
