In my practice, I always stress that intimacy is important during all phases of our lives. Whether it is romantic or platonic, having healthy intimacy makes all the difference. During this time, use the motion of spring to talk to those who matter to you. Find out what habits you can let go of and what new things you may be interested in trying. Maybe your goals align and you can move forward together. In our bedrooms, there can be greater interest in new experiences, and checking in with our partner opens doors we may not even have seen. This is the time for a new direction, and we have the clarity to make decisions.

If you find yourself in an unhealthy or dangerous relationship, make a plan. If it is safe to do so, reach out to professionals, friends, and authorities. You deserve to be loved and safe. We are here for you.

The Gallbladder is most active during the window of time from 11 pm to 1 am. This is when the Gallbladder is at its strongest and does the majority of its work. When out of balance, insomnia, anxiety, and stomach troubles are common. If you experience this, take note and try to help calm yourself down. In the morning, take steps to find your imbalance, either with the help of a professional, friends, or your own motivation. You’ve got this!

The emotion of Wood expresses itself as clarity in direction, an abundance of imagination and creativity, and the bravery to take new steps forward. When we are out of balance, we can be more prone to irritability, fearful of speaking up, indecisive, and more. Finding balance during this time will help the mist fade and the path will become clearer.

Wood is most strongly correlated with the Liver and Gallbladder, so cultivating and watching their health is important during this time. The Liver and Gallbladder work together in our body, with the Liver issuing orders and the Gallbladder carrying them out. Working hand in hand, they help our body and mind stay in balance. The Liver creates a smooth flow with our Blood, Qi, digestion, and emotions, and the Gallbladder absorbs excess. It is the strength behind the Liver’s vision.

Wood moves us into activity towards finding our goals, dreams, and selves. Like the trees from the ground, we reach up our branches and grasp our futures. Likewise, we are sturdy, strong, and capable. Wood reminds us that life is a cycle and growth is always possible.

In the body, Wood mediates Blood storage and oversees its circulation and detoxication. It helps the tendons maintain and support their flexibility and strength. Wood is responsible for the strength and clarity in our eyes. In this way, it also helps our imagination and creativity as we look forward to our dreams and futures. However, Wood is most commonly associated with the Liver and Gall Bladder health.

The color green is associated with wood and spring and represents vitality, detoxification, and growth. Using this, we look to our diet and exercise to get the most out of the season! I suggest focusing on sour flavors, leafy greens like broccoli, sprouts, and herbs(particularly mint) to help our bodies! For exercise, envision trees swaying in the breeze and mimic that flexibility. Acupuncture is an amazing tool for helping movement flow. We are waking our bodies after the stagnant winter, so start with exercises that emphasize stretching and try to get outside from time to time and enjoy nature with a beautiful walk.

As we move from the stillness of winter into the exuberance of spring, we shake off the old and invite in the new. In Chinese medicine, during spring, we look towards the Wood element. Just as life is revitalized in spring by the melting of snow and the growth of seeds, we, too, experience the vibrancy of new experiences. Wood focuses on determination, movement, emotional well-being, and letting go of things that no longer serve us.

Our health is all-encompassing. Our minds, our souls, and our bodies all move intrinsically together. The excitement and movement of this year is invigorating, but make sure that you temper that excitement with self-care and grounding. We have got this!

Stay Well,

Constantly moving forward without rest wears everyone down. Make sure you take time to breathe and relax. Breathe, focus, enjoy the things you love, and then when you have refilled your energy, you can get back out there to the tracks!

Make sure to keep our fires controlled so we don’t end up fizzling out or erupting into a forest fire. Balancing our yang energies with our ying energies is important. The ying tempers our fire with wisdom and introspection so that the burning passions our yang energy brings forth can blossom to their greatest potential!

The year of the horse’s element is fire, which is tied to our yang energy. This year brings out our passions and drive, but in our excitement for new things and greater futures, we can experience restlessness, impulsive decision-making, burnout, and stress. When we are always going without rest, our hearts and small intestines can also experience fatigue. Make sure to listen to your heart, your body, and your mind so you do not push yourself too hard during these exciting times.
