There are many teachings on clearing out emotions that have been collecting.  In Chinese Medicine there are Five main emotions that govern the Organs and the flow of Qi and Blood which regulate the whole body. The emotions all have ways of clearing out through the Meridians (energy channels) that correspond to the different organs, out of the body and into the universe to transform into good for the greater whole. If they aren't cleared out in the right way, they are directed in the body into different patterns that may show up as something helpful to build the system, or lead to an imbalance that can result in a dis-eased state. It is important to learn ways to balance and regulate ones emotions especially when excess ones show up, for example the main Five Emotions of -  Fear, Worry, Anger, Melancholy, and Grief.

If any of these emotions are showing up in your life more than another it is important to learn different ways to balance them.  This can happen over night through rest, or after different sessions of therapy including through Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Medicine.  It can happen through doing a sport to changing one's diet. Learning ways to help balance one's emotions and direct them in a healthy way in the world can help make it a better place.


Be well.

Spring is a time where our creativity gets a refreshing lift as we become more open to our possibilities and ambitions.  The Chinese Medicine Element of Spring is Wood, which governs the Liver and Gallbladder.  The Liver organ and meridian have various roles including fortifying and cleansing of blood, regulating the smooth flow movement of Qi (energy, Prana) throughout the body, and aids in the flexibility of our tendons.  The Gallbladder organ and meridian according to Chinese Medicine, aids in metabolism of fats along with clarity in decision making.
    Spring is an optimal time to work on our flexibility in many ways.  We can strengthen our body through exercises such as Yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, Gyrotonics and more that focus on gentle and strengthening movements to open our joints while stretching our muscles and tendons.  This creates a cleansing action of our tissues and blood as the flow of Qi becomes more balanced in the body.  Spring is also a time of movement and growth that can inspire us to embrace the changes we need to make in a healthy way.
