The Earth element in Zen Shiatsu, by Violan Burges, Shiatsu Practitioner
The Earth element manifests at the end of every season. Some sources mention that it manifests during the last 10 days of every season, but most commonly is identified at the end of the summer. Earth represents nourishment, a beginning and an end, a seed and fruit. Stomach and Spleen are the most active organs during this period manifesting their capacity for transformation and nourishing.
