Lynn's Spring Tips

Diet

It's time to re-introduce more raw foods to the diet to both cool and cleanse the body. Also, quickly sautee or steam vegetables.

Exercise

Keep the body moving. Receive massage as well as exercise to keep the joints mobilized and the tissues fluid.

Sleep

Get to bed early enough to be asleep by 11 p.m. This is the time when Liver qi, the organ and type of qi most assoicated with the Spring, is most active in its work of "seeing" your future.

Stress Management

The transition from the depth of Winter to the activity and intense growth of Spring can be rough. Irritability, headaches, respiratory problems and other symptoms associated with stress may increase. Movement is essential!

Vision: The Gift of Spring

Vision(physical, mental, and spiritual) is the power or gift of Spring, according the Chinese Five Element system.
