DAY 4: CREATE

Spring time in TCM is all about making plans, dreaming and bringing these goals to life.. so be it big picture dreaming and planning, or just pulling out some paper and paints and getting messy and creative, can you create today? Drawing, painting, making mandalas out of leaves and flowers in the park, baking or a million and one other creative outlets… what could be on the menu for you?

The nitty gritty: the Liver in TCM is related to our ability to make plans and bring them all to life! But we all know life doesn't always go to plan.. so throughout the journey we need to be flexible and able to bend, while being strong enough to keep growing (think of young bamboo!).

The Gallbladder (the yang partner of yin Liver) is the decision-maker of the body, and helps us get clear on what needs doing. Plus - importantly - it helps us find the courage to implement them.

Spring then is all about moving and growing - both inside (us!) and outside (the world & nature!). Nice, isn't it?
