YOU CAN EXPECT an informative, interactive, rigorous, as Spring calls for nothing less communal practice threaded with the purpose, medicine and intelligence of Spring, including techniques to clean house and tend to associated organs. We will stoke our fires, refine and strengthen our roots, bend, swirl, twist and shout (as thats the sound of spring) and do a full pranayama practice to clean, invigorate and renew.
We will circle it all up in in well earned still guided meditation to reorient/organize; recalibrate, be fed by Springs Magic and InVision your new self in the making.
AN OVERVIEW OF SPRING THROUGH THE LENS OF THE CHINESE SYSTEM: Spring is the birthing season, the time for development and creation. Time to clean out, lighten up, rise and make way for new. Spring is the wood element, which governs all living growing trees, plants and the human being. It is the strengthening of the roots, the trunk, the limbs, the joints. A Spring done well heightens your capacity for mental clarity, decision making, discernment and liberation.
The primary organ for Spring is the Liver. The liver is your endurance in life, the master laboratory of the body. It is in charge of dispersion and dredging: It is largely responsible for the regulation of emotion, the liver’s associated emotion is anger. Unchecked/ over expressed effects its functionality. It governs digestion and absorption, the circulation of qi and blood, as well as our reproductive function.
The liver houses the hun (our spiritual consciousness) the hun is essential to our spiritual and psychological dynamic. Lastly, the liver is connected to our eyes, their physiological function as well as our capacity for Vision in all its forms.
“YOUR BODY IS WHERE EVERYTHING LIVES, HAPPENS+THRIVES.
