Hexagram 38: Solace TEa

Our first Solace Tea of 2025! Such a delight to share the space with such wonderful participants.

The 38th hexagram is comprised of the trigrams Fire over Lake. Fire with its upward movement, clarity, and warmth, and Lake with its stillness, downward movement, create an opposition and tension in the pull. This demonstrates the Gene Key shadow of Struggle quite nicely. Our struggling through life can indicate a misalignment with our purpose, or a taking on of other’s struggles to the point where we are unable to breathe or see the light.

We can begin to transform the struggles with the gift of Perseverence and the insight to persevere in our actions in alignment with our hearts and our purpose. During the Solace Tea we imbibed in “Perseverence Tea” which was a smooth blend of:

Ginger Root - for warming, aiding digestion

Turmeric Root - for reducing inflammation, supporting immune system

Licorice Root - for balancing and harmonizing and nourishing Heart Qi

Dandelion Root - for detoxifying and supporting Liver

Burdock Root - for supporting body structure

Our Perseverance treats included:

Matcha Ginger Swirl Cookies (warming and uplifting) and Roasted Spicy Pumpkin Seeds (a great source of arginine, the amino acid associated with the 38th Gene Key.)

We are in the middle of Capricorn season with the beginning of the year. This is a time to enhance health focus onto the deepest parts of our structure, our bones.
