Happy spring equinox
5 ways to align with spring.
The spring equinox marks a unique point of perfect balance where Yin and Yang are in equal measure. Astronomically, this is the moment when day and night are of equal length. Symbolically and energetically, it represents the transition from the "rest" of winter (Yin) to the "growth" of spring (Yang).
Spring is associated with the Wood element, the Liver, and the Gallbladder.
1, Most important, protect your neck and shoulders, as tempting as it is to cast away that scarf, keep a light scarf on as the weather is unpredictable, warm turns to windy in the bat of an eyelid, external pathogens are looking for ways to invade the body, this is where they'll invade.
2, eat more spring greens to detox from the winter stagnation, and start your day with a warm cup of lemon and water.
3, move the body to release stagnation of liver Qi. Qigong, tai chi and dancing are ideal for moving that qi leading to balanced emotions, fewer headaches and better digestion
4. Flexibility in your mind as well as your body, let go of what no longer serves you, be open to change. Ask yourself where am I stuck now? Are you being to rigid for the flexibilities that wood needs to grow?
5. Spend more time out with nature, take a walk amongst the trees, be part of the rhythm of the season, we are a part of nature, not separate, the more in tune we are, the more balanced we become.
Happy spring equinox
