SPRING & THE WOOD ELEMENT... Meridians: Liver and Gall Bladder As the heavy chill of winter begins to lift, the days become longer and our amount of activity naturally increases. Spring is the season of fresh new beginnings. New shoots sprout from the ground & trees and the energy is a rising one of lightness, freshness and renewal. A healthy wood element provides us with the ability to CHANGE and to be FLEXIBLE. The liver & gall bladder are the organs of focus in spring. In oriental medicine the liver is seen as the emperor of the body and sets the standards for the rest of the body to follow so a healthy liver means a healthy reference point for the whole body. A time for spring-cleaning inside as well as out, we focus on detoxifying & cleansing the body of the build-ups that accumulate from the heavier diet & lowered activity of winter. Other areas associated with these organs, the joints especially shoulders and knees, tendons, immune system, eyes and vision can also be accessed and healed at this time. When our wood element is functioning well we feel clear, light, inspired and connected to our higher vision. Our immune system is healthy and we are flexible enough to change direction and move with ease. Rise early, try something new, revitalize, active and attune yourself to the energy of this exciting season.
