From Winter to Spring – A Chinese Medicine Perspective 🌱
In Chinese Medicine and Daoist wisdom, the turning of winter into spring is the great exhale of the Earth.
The deep Yin of winter - of stillness, rest, the fertile darkness - now gives way to the rising Yang, the stirring of life.
Spring belongs to the Wood element: the realm of vision, growth, and renewal. Just as trees push upward, roots firm in the soil, we too feel the call to stretch toward light, to dream, to create.
It is a season of inspiration and new beginnings, of ideas sprouting like tender shoots. The energy is upward and outward, inviting us to move, to breathe, to allow what was resting in the quiet of winter to take form.
To align with spring is to soften resistance and follow the natural surge of life. Eat fresh greens, rise with the morning sun, move your body, and give space for your own new growth.
The Dao teaches us to live in harmony with the cycles. To let each season guide our inner rhythm. Spring whispers: now is the time to awaken, to grow, to trust the unfolding.
