Spleen: The Great Mother Within

She is the one who nourishes, who understands without needing words.
She holds, supports, and steadies— the quiet center in the swirl of change.

The Spleen transforms Yi, the spirit of intention, into embodied confidence:
“I’ve got this.”
She moves and transports, yet knows when to pause, when to ask for support.
She teaches us to feel at home in ourselves— to retain, harmonize, and voice our needs with grace.

As we enter the season of Earth, may we root into her wisdom.
May we digest what’s scattered, and return to the center that holds us.

~~~She steadies. She nourishes. She knows~~~

🏵️ Late summer is the season of the Earth Element 🏵️
a time of ripening, nourishment, and return to center.

It is the still point between the outward Yang of summer
and the inward Yin of autumn.

A pause between seasons,
like the sacred space between the in-breath and out-breath.

When Earth is balanced, we feel held, nourished, and grounded.
When imbalanced, we spiral into worry, overthinking,
and sluggish digestion—physically and emotionally.

Earth is the Great Mother,
the archetype of the one who digests life’s experiences
and reminds us how to care for ourselves and others
in times of transition.

This Thursday, 11th September at 3pm, we gather at the Salisbury Centre for the final perimenopause circle in this series.

We meet at a still point—where change is alive, and balance is something we feel, not force. A space to reflect on what we’re navigating, and explore what holds and supports us now.

If you feel called, I’d love to welcome you.

Everything about a woman’s life is cyclical, there is a never-ending spiral of growth and decay, building up and letting go, energy out and energy in.
It happens every month with the menstrual cycle, every 7 years with the life cycle and so on Same cycle, different speeds.

Each life cycle is a death and rebirth, a process of shedding and renewal. When we begin to metabolize and let go of the things that weigh us down, we can create room for exchange, nourishment, and new growth

According to Chinese medicine, there is a direct connection between the heart and the uterus through a meridian called the “Bao Mai”.

The Bao Mai is translated to the “Uterus Vessel” and is very sensitive to emotional stress and anxiety.

When we undergo extremes of different emotions, this has a direct effect on the way the qi and blood moves through our body. Anger and frustration make qi rise, fear makes the qi sink, sadness consumes qi and so on

In order for menstruation or conception to happen, the Bao Mai should be open and unobstructed.

In peri & menopause, it’s important to maintain the heart /uterus connection to avoid hot flushes and anxiety. In this stage of life, the womb evolves into an oasis to design your life from your spiritual/authentic self.

Join our Perimenopause Circle for a supportive environment to share and explore Taoist practices and heart-womb breathing techniques for emotional regulation and enhanced well-being during this life stage.

Discover the transformative power of ancient wisdom.

Starting this Thursday 10th April
At The Salisbury Centre
2 Salisbury Road
Edinburgh

3.00- 4.30 pm

Grounding is a process that helps individuals connect with the present moment, bringing a sense of stability and balance. Shiatsu is particularly effective in grounding individuals for several reasons:

1. Mind-Body Connection
Shiatsu encourages a deep connection between the mind and body. By focusing on specific pressure points and energy meridians, practitioners can help release physical tension and mental stress. This integration promotes a heightened awareness of bodily sensations, fostering a sense of being present.

2. Energy Flow Regulation
Shiatsu works to balance the body's energy flow, which can often become disrupted due to stress, anxiety, or other factors. By restoring this balance, individuals may experience improved emotional stability, leading to a more grounded state of being.

3. Physical Relaxation
The gentle pressure and stretching techniques used in Shiatsu can lead to profound physical relaxation. This relaxation not only alleviates muscle tension but also encourages deep breathing and a calm state of mind, both of which contribute to grounding.

4. Stress Reduction
One of the primary benefits of Shiatsu is its ability to reduce stress. By alleviating stress through physical manipulation and energy balancing, individuals often find themselves feeling more centered and grounded in their daily lives.

Incorporating Shiatsu into Your Routine

For those looking to experience the grounding effects of Shiatsu, you can connect and book your session in the link in bio

Shiatsu is a powerful modality that offers grounding benefits by harmonizing the mind and body, regulating energy flow, and promoting relaxation. Whether through professional sessions or self-practice, Shiatsu can be an effective tool for achieving a more balanced and present state of being.

Spring is a season of growth, renewal, and expansion—but after winter’s stillness, our bodies can feel stiff and tense.

It is a time of renewal and movement, but when energy gets stuck, it can show up as tight shoulders, neck pain, frustration, PMS and even headaches or migraines.

In Chinese Medicine, this is the perfect season to clear stagnation and restore flow, helping you feel lighter, clearer, and more energized.

Liver and Gall Bladder Meridians are related to the sides of the body and this simple stretch helps to open the Meridians
~~~~~~
~Meridian Yoga or Makko-ho ~
are a sequence of six breathing exercises which both stimulate and encourage the flow of energy in your body. Each stretch open with different Meridian pair

Together we will created a space where we can laugh, cry, and share our experiences of the journey so far in a safe and supportive environment.

As well as sharing, we will explore the embodiment practices to nourish and self-regulate

After the share we will move into the embodied practices to let go of anything from the body whenever that is emotions or physical symptoms We will also nourish and restore the bodies energy ( I will mainly draw from the Oriental medicine/Shiatsu (Meridians and Points)/ Taoist Practices for Women to support our body Energy Systems & Organs )

We will use movement, breath, sound or visualization All very simple hoping that some of the practices can become useful tools to have as a self care practice at home

We will finish with the integration practice or meditation to closing the space

Aim of the circle is NOT to educate or offer advice, but place to develop habit of self-care and create community of women who share the same journey
