大自然正忙于更新她的能量, 它显示: 当调色板第一次从土壤中萌芽时, 就像沉睡的大地女神重新睁开神奇的眼睛. 在过去的几个月里，我从种植和收获金盏花中学到的东西是那些花喜欢一点温柔和持续的关注, 即使是空气中的气味也有自己更微妙的色调.
在我写作的时候, 在北半球, 在黑暗的冬季寂静和调整之后, 向上运动终于开始了.
早春的迹象无处不在. 随着光的上升, 日子越来越长. 微风 – 天之使者，唤醒山河，唤醒我们的视野.
你的愿景是你灵魂的直接灵感. 当你唤醒你的灵魂, you also unleash your creativity after years or even decades of suppression.
When we reconnect with Spring, we find renewal happening easily and naturally.
Insects Awaken is one of the Chinese 24 Solar Terms, usually just before the Spring Equinox.
The Dao/Tao is speaking through rebirth and growth.
As animals emerge from their hibernation, the pace of the gardens start to pick up again. Green blades spring up from the dark earth.
Snowdrops, crocuses and daffodils…these beautiful children of Earth Goddess use their innate intelligence to judge the outside conditions. And once the pivotal moments have arrived, they bloom and remind us that us human too have our intricate intuition to rely on.
At this time of the year, the overall weather can still be unstable. The great cold can alternate with sudden warmth, and it could swing from freezing beast to heat waves in a blink.
有时, even good weather can bring on bad mood. As the light and warmth of Yang increases, it is not uncommon that people feel frustration, anger or aggression, or at the other side of the spectrum: extra sleepy.
一) If you have a lot of unprocessed frustration or resentment, according to Classical Chinese Medicine, it can be because you didn’t have enough rest or nourishment during the deep Winter, which may feel like you are giving from an empty cup right now.
Bear in mind that it has been a very difficult couple of years. Don’t judge yourself too much. Focus on clear and renewal. Knowing what you know now, you can prepare the coming year better.
So be gentle towards your own emotions, redirect and process your anger and frustration by paying close attention gently 到 the Wood Element in you – The Wood Element inside knows how to generate positive and powerful fuels.
B) Or on the other extreme, if you feel consistent fatigue or drowsy throughout the day, TCM suggests that it could be because the Wood Element (the peak element in Spring) is rising up too much, which causes imbalance or weakness in the Earth Element (represents Late Summer) 在你.
The Five Elements inside each of us represent the Five Seasons: Spring, Summer, Late Summer, Autumn & 冬季. Each Season & Element gives birth to the next, 然而, each of them also controls another Element.
例如, the Wood Element controls the Earth Element. We see this type of relationship in Nature all the time, 例如, we plant trees to minimize soil erosion, but too much Wood can depletes the Earth’s nutrients.
If you feel light headed, have problems with digestion or lose your appetite easily, you can gently press and massage this acupuncture point: Leg Three Miles (足三里). (please avoid arousing this point in Pregnancy from the 8th month.)
Leg Three Mile is the Earth Element on the Earth Meridian of Stomach channel. By pressing or massaging this point with the intention of creating momentum and stamina, it will tonify the Earth Element and allows the energy in you flows better again. It is also a first aid point for treating fainting and digesting.
It’s located under the kneecap, with one roughly one hand width down and one thumb width out.
See the yellow circle in the image below.
When the Equinox season comes, both our vision and reality are illuminated.
一方面, you are moved by your calling, on the other hand though, at times you might feel discouraged, confused or impatient by the gap between your vision and reality.
Especially with what goes on in the world right now, 人们受到伤害, 我们的人类世界陷入困境. Due to shellshock, many of us are shattered and at times transported to hardship and sorrow.
If you are having doubt, or questioning if you are doing the right thing, this is all normal. In this article, here are four ways to help you bridge the gap between your vision and reality, find courage and inspiration to walk your path.
最后, here is a could-do or to-enjoy list for March (taken from the Magazine 简单的事情).
Let’s not forget that it is by rooting ourselves in the simple things from our immediate environment that we can find treasures in the ordinary and revive our ability to flow through transitions.
在这个季节, follow the Way of growth. Let each bud that you see, each birdsong that you hear awaken the precious seeds inside.
有爱,
