This is a time for renewal, growth and awakening. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) the Liver governs smooth flow of energy throughout the body. If it gets out of balance you might experience:

• Tension in the form of headaches, eye issues, jaw tightness, neck tension.
• Emotions might come through as increased irritability, frustration, struggles with sleep and feeling stuck.
• Digestion issues with increased bloating, indigestion and gas.

Spring is a good time to clear out energy that no longer serves you:

• Clear out physical clutter, organize one area of your house that always seems a mess.
• Mental clutter that might be ready to be released, fears and stories you might tell yourself that no longer serve you, limitations you placed on yourself you might be ready to push through.
• Set digital boundaries for yourself, prioritizing more time outdoors, taking in fresh air and allowing your bare feet to touch the earth.
• Create a list of what you were grateful for from this past season
