S P R I N G. WOOD ELEMENT

CHINESE MEDICINE- we are as nature, opening into the Wood element- LIVER and GALL BLADDER organs/meridians/energy. What does this mean?

As we move out of winter and the deepest YIN state of the yearly cycle we erupt into the need to BREAK THROUGH, to blossom, sprout all that has been beneath the earth during winter.

Stagnation naturally leads to friction, friction leads to growth. Like a sprout positioning itself to reach the sun. PUSH OUT. This is wood energy.

Spring births, it creates, it heightens our exploration of all that’s around us, health, SEXUALITY, home, society politics, etc. Our vision is focused in the details to how best to generate our path forward and toward our destiny (heart).

Notice the emotional landscape of our archetypes, the shadow aspect of the RULER, being THE TYRANT- Over reaching CONTROL. Energy in the wood element can illuminate insecurity that surrounds the insability in the psyche- displaying as anxiety, anger, frustration, Injustice. Be aware of the JUDGE. The true nature of outter judgement can be the evasive face of the inner critic / our inner judgement projected onto the external world of many mirrors.

We are nature, work with the cycles of nature cultivate and soothe your wood energy;

•detox - EAT GREEN
•cultivate sexual energy practices for your self care, then share 😉
•stretch, jump, yell, scream, dance, MOVE in a way that releases you.
•seek your passion and run with it.

Follow your flow, be kind and be free!

THE WINTER OF LISTENING - David Whyte

No one but me by the fire,
my hands burning
red in the palms while
the night wind carries
everything away outside.

All this petty worry
while the great cloak
of the sky grows dark
and intense
round every living thing.

What is precious
inside us does not
care to be known
by the mind
in ways that diminish
its presence.

What we strive for
in perfection
is not what turns us
into the lit angel
we desire,

what disturbs
and then nourishes
has everything
we need.

What we hate
in ourselves
is what we cannot know
in ourselves but
what is true to the pattern
does not need
to be explained.

Inside everyone
is a great shout of joy
waiting to be born.

Even with the summer
so far off
I feel it grown in me
now and ready
to arrive in the world.

All those years
listening to those
who had
nothing to say.

All those years
forgetting
how everything
has its own voice
to make
itself heard.

All those years
forgetting
how easily
you can belong
to everything
simply by listening.

And the slow
difficulty
of remembering
how everything
is born from
an opposite
and miraculous
otherness.
Silence and winter
has led me to that
otherness.

So let this winter
of listening
be enough
for the new life
I must call my own.

“Always creating, water is the bouyant substance of being. It is our birthplace. Surging from an ancient, unknown source, these prodigious waters carry the vibrancy of life from its deepest sleep to its epic becoming”

In Chinese Medicine, winter belongs to the water element and teaches us to dive deep into the source of our being. Retreat into our depths, be with our stillness, befriend our shadow, dance with the moon, listen to the murmur or our silence.

During this time our energy is yearning to supplement the yin (the more passive, feminine, lunar, contemplative, intuitive) aspect of ourselves. The yang aspect (active, masculine, analytical more dominant) requires holding in order not to burn itself and enable the yin aspect time to re-establish the balance before the more outward moving seasons (yang seasons) of spring and summer return.

The water element in Chinese Medicine corresponds to the Kidney (yin organ) and the Bladder (yang organ).

The kidneys are regarded as the storehouse of all yin and yang within the body, our pre natal energy (energy derived from our parents, preconception, ancestral memories, DNA, essence) and our postnatal energy (derived from quality of food, sleep, experience in this lifetime). Its our reserves, our will power, our drive our ability to feel what we are here to do and the knowingness of our power to get there. However most of all the water element is our WISDOM.

In the emotional body the water element also corresponds to fear. Fear is imbedded in us as a survival mechanism and when in balance can move us into courage and action; it can be excitement without breath. However if the kidney or the adrenal system is out of balance fear can become like a rushing stream, a tsunami or a river bursting its banks.

Fear can obstruct our connection to our wisdom, it can cause us to race forward become reckless or freeze in inaction, over conserving. The irony being the driving force behind the underutilization of our will or the exhaustion of the will, by which physical/emotional awareness will lead to the wisdom of action.
