YOU ARE YOUR BEST HEALER!
Dao of Spring! (Selfcare in Spring)
According to the book of Nei Jing, the ancient teaching of Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on living in accordance with nature. March is the beginning of spring, and all living beings in the universe are revitalizing. The energy of the spring season is represented by the energy of wood and is associated with the organ Liver in our body.
It is recommended that we go to bed late (no later than 11 PM) at night, and get up early in the morning. Go out to take a walk with some fresh air. Let down your hair being loose, relax your mind, and let go of any limiting thoughts. let go of any suppressed emotions. Treat every living being with a compassionate and benevolent loving heart, and be willing to co-exist with all beings equally, harmoniously, and happily.
Learn to surrender, knowing things happen in life for reasons, and go with the flow of life. If there are people or things that stress you out or upset you, let them go with your compassion and benevolent loving heart. Going easy and being happy will encourage the free flow of your liver energy. It will allow you to be healthy and happy in Spring and prepare you for the growing energy of fire, the energy of summer.
This is the Dao of the spring season, the essence of the spring season. Spring is the season to go easy and be happy.
In the end, I’d like to share a “Poem” ‘Loveliest of Trees’ by A.E. Housman published in 1896 when he was in his 20s.
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough [b@k],
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.
Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.
And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.
I wish you enjoy the spring season and be free, lively, and vital! Go easy and be happy!!!
