The whole year's work depends on a good start in the Spring.
~ Chinese Proverb ~

Congratulations! You made it through another winter! Now, the warmer temperatures and the longer hours of daylight will be an awesome relief. No more feeling like a hibernating bear cooped up inside your house -- you can go outside for lovely walks and appreciate the new life of spring. In the winter, your body is "fu chang" -- Chinese for "in storage." In the spring, your body begins to "wake up."

Spring begins on the Equinox of March 21st, and it represents new beginnings with budding trees and grass turning to green after the icy snow. For the next six months, Yang energy and the sun will influence your life. So, if you feel new energy, it makes absolute sense according to Oriental medicine.

Spring and Chinese Philosophy

The foundation of Chinese philosophy is that human beings are a part of this universe in which we live, and the universe is forever changing. These changes affect our well-being as much as they affect the universe itself. The ancient Chinese discovered that the energies of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth constitute all matter in the universe.

Everything contains these five kinds of Qi or energy of these elements. In Oriental medicine, we use the "Theory of the Five Elements" for both diagnosis and treatment principals, and the season of spring is associated with the Wood element.

The Wood element has to do with growing, living entities, such as trees, plants, and human bodies. The Wood element also governs the Liver and Gall Bladder. The Liver has to do with planning and decision-making, so you may feel a new sparkle and vitality in the spring. You may even be inspired to act upon new ideas.

The essence of spring and the Wood element is birth and new beginnings. The Wood element governs your mental clarity and your ability to focus, plan, and make judgments. When a person has a Wood imbalance, it is much too easy to make poor decisions and become disorganized. When the Liver is out of balance, it can direct energy upwards to create headaches, neck and upper back tension, or even rage and depression. That's right -- the Liver not only spreads Qi (energy) to your other organs like a distributor, but it is also in charge of the smooth flow of your emotions.
