We’re  now well into the Spring season and all I can say is Wow!  Ever notice how much movement there is.  Look around, and you can see signs of new life everywhere.  The trees’ new blooms, crocus and daffodils sprouting their cheerful flowers and everywhere new buds and new possibilities.

Spring is the time to awake from your doledrums and push forth with new ideas and plans.  Spring is where the Wood element is at its’ peak of power.

In Chinese medicine the Liver Official (the planner) and the Gal Bladder Official (the decision maker) are the yin/yang organs that work together to help your creative energies.  The Soul or Hun is housed in the Liver and the eyes open to this Official.

To strengthen your ability to see on many levels (insight, hindsight and foresight) and thereby support your wood element get out there and move, better yet… drum and dance!!!  Your Liver and Gal Bladder will thank-you.

Here are some additional tips to help your Liver/Gal Bladder Officials.

The sour flavor helps aid the Liver in digestion.  Hot water and lemon juice after a rich meal helps us process fats.
