In Traditional Chinese medicine, the spring is governed by the element of Wood as well as our Liver/Gall Bladder energies. Wood controls growth and change and this is the time of gaining vision for our future as well as fine tuning our decision-making abilities.
Now more than ever, with so much stress and conflict in our world, it is time to work with the seasonal energies and learn how to support and nourish the systems that are working so hard at maintaining our health. We will look at the energetics of spring and foods and herbs to support this vital time of transition.
In TCM Liver governs flow – ideas, ligaments, fluids and emotions. These times are asking us to show up authentically, feel the crises in our midst, respond with humanity all the while tending ourselves.
