😡 Identifying with Hulk? 😡
💥 This could be a case of Liver Qi Stagnation 💥
➡️ In Chinese Medicine the liver is in charge of the smooth flow of qi (vital energy) and blood.
✨ Emotionally, the liver is responsible for managing emotions and is strongly associated with anger, frustration and resentment.
🥺 And when that gets stuck we see symptoms like:
Irritability, stress, anger, PMS, painful menstruation, headaches, shoulder tension, digestive issues, and muscle spasms.
⏰ It’s also good to note that if you’re waking up between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. that can often indicate a liver-related disturbance, as this is when the Liver is most active.
👉 So if you resonate with our friend Hulk, what can we do about it?
1. Take a look at the ‘Liver 3’ point on the diagram, find it by running your finger up from Liver 2 and you’ll fall into a tender dip… use your finger or an acupressure tool to massage the point with a deep, circular, steady pressure. Really focus on freeing up that Liver energy, taking deep, healing breaths.
2. Journalling is an excellent tool to release ‘stuck emotions’ and feelings that maybe you couldn’t bring to the person / situation you’re frustrated or angry with. Get it all out on paper, anger, disappointment, sadness, whatever it is.. be honest and then simply burn or rip up the paper to let it go. Your nervous system won’t know it wasn’t actually addressing the person but it will still feel all the relief and freedom of letting it go.
3. Gentle movement / exercise
Moving the body naturally moves stuck qi and energy.
4. Eat sour foods to support your liver and encourage detoxification.. eg lemons. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables… prioritising cooked food always and drink green tea 💚
💖 I hope this helps in our ‘Hulk’ moments 💖
