This Wednesday, February 4th, marks Li Chun - the Arrival of Spring and the very first Solar Term of the year.
Although temperatures may still be cool, spring energy begins to rise. Support the liver with lightly cooked greens, sprouts, leeks, and gentle sour flavours such as lemon. Reduce heavy, greasy foods. Stretching, yoga, and walking help release stagnation. Meditation focusing on intention-setting supports the season’s forward momentum. Continue layering clothing to protect against wind. Emotionally, practise patience and openness as new ideas and plans begin to form.
