SPRING is fast approaching and we'll be setting our clocks forward this Sunday to enjoy some more daylight hours in the months to follow. Nature has a lot to say about the energetic shifts that happen around and within us.
In Chinese medicine, Spring is associated with the Wood Element.
As the days become warmer and brighter, nature rouses from her winter slumber and looks ahead to the new growth of Spring. The Wood element, which has been at rest, storing and concentrating its energy under a winter blanket, now bursts forth with new buds, new life piercing Earth's crust. The swelling Wood of spring initiates rebirth - a surge of rising energy, like the young lamb staggering up to nurse, like the dandelion whose growing edge can burst through concrete if it must. Wood is the energy of youth and growth: a new beginning, a vision of a whole new cycle. The Wood energy of Spring is an expression of life at its strongest.
If we have followed nature's way and taken a winter rest, we too emerge into spring “raring to go,” with clear vision and a sense of purpose. This is the season to plant seeds for a future harvest, to look ahead and make new plans, formulate new ideas, make decisions, and determine our direction for the coming year - and to take action.
Let's work together in welcoming the energy of Spring into your life!
Everyday is a new day to start fresh. As the plants burst through the soil of the earth, so does the energy through our bodies. This is the time to spread our wings and make all those brilliant ideas that have been manifesting over the winter become reality! It’s the time to let your hair down, and put a little SPRING in your step!
I love what I do because it's all about seeing YOU and bringing balance back into your unique lifestyle.
