Spring Energy

In Chinese medicine the energy of each season doesn’t start at the solstices and equinoxes, it peaks at that time.

Imbolc

Spring energy actually begins to flow in on February 1st. This is also the pagan holiday of Imbolc which represents the beginning of Spring.

Feeling Lighter

Many people start to feel lighter, more energetic, and a little restless as the heavy, downward energy of Winter begins to fade around this time.

Birth Energy

Spring energy is birth energy – it’s vibrant, new, fresh, and ready to sprout after the dormancy of Winter.

Potential

All of the potential energy and resources that you stored up over the last few months can start to evolve into action.

Goals

This is a much more natural time of year to start pursuing your goals and new habits compared to early January. You may find it much easier to stick with your resolutions or projects now as you ride the wave of Spring energy.

Spring

Spring is the season of the Wood Element in Chinese medicine. Growth, progress, and productivity are at its core. Just remember that growth looks different every year.

Richness of Life

Some years the unseen work of deepening your roots happens. And some years there’s a brilliant flourish of visible new leaves on your branches. Realize that both are valuable and necessary for sustaining a rich life.

Pay Attention

See what you can notice in the coming weeks in nature. Pay attention to the length of the days, the feel of the air, and even signs of new growth, depending on where you live.

Seasonal Energies

Learning to live in tune with the seasonal energies is an important part of supporting your health.
