🌿Esalen, Yosemite, Free Herbalism Project, Spring Equinox
Happy Spring Equinox!
Spring is associated with the Wood Element, in Chinese medicine. Wood governs the Liver and Gallbladder meridians, anger, compassion, dreams, vision, change, goals, decisions, and aligned forward momentum.
What does spring feel like in your body?
🌿 Eat fresh wild spring greens, such as baby dandelion, plantain, dock, chickweed, chives, mallow, nettles, and mustards.
🌿 Move your body. Take long walks along the beach. Enjoy a regular movement practice, such as simple walking, and/or breath-integrated practices like yoga, qigong, and dance.
🌿 Nourish life (yang shen 養生) through healthy rest, movement, connection, nutrition, and creative expression. And of course, come in for acupuncture + herbs! 😍

🌻Lunar New Year! │ Mindfulness, Productivity & Covid resources
Happy Lunar New Year of the Water Tiger!
Lunar New Year is the second New Moon after Winter Solstice, and the biggest festival in my Taiwanese-Chinese culture. Families and friends prepare and gather for weeks, and flock to temples to burn incense and offer food, prayers, and love to our ancestors. Here in the USA, I typically spend Lunar New Year on a mountaintop, offering my own prayers and love up, down, and all around.
🌿 How are you honoring the second new moon of 2022?
🌿 What cultural traditions do you observe at the start of the year?
🌿 How have your cultural traditions shifted & blossomed over time?
