↞ MOTHER EARTH • PACHAMAMA • MAMA GAIA ↠
Megan Allen
We live on a blue planet that circles a ball of fire next to a moon that moves the sea, and you don’t believe in miracles?
This month is Earth Month and a wonderful time to express deep gratitude for this beautiful planet we call home. There are a couple ways to look at life... One as if everything is a miracle and the other as if nothing is a miracle. Which do you choose? I choose to see life as an incredible miracle with beauty all around, lessons to learn and much to discover.
SYNCING WITH THE SEASONS OF EARTH
Syncing with the cycles and seasons of Earth helps us to be in the flow of life. As we move through the seasons and cycles, we will find there is a time and place for everything. I love the Lao Tzu quote " Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished."
Winter is the season to turn inward and hibernate. Spring is about growth and the will to become. Summer is where we heat up and our ideas and projects come to light. We round out to Fall, the time to harvest the fruits of our labor, crops and projects. Then we come back to Winter where we turn inward, rest and rejuvenate.
SPRING + THE LIVER | GALLBLADDER MERIDIAN
The meridian system is composed of 12 major organs that are broken down into 6 Yin/Yang paired channels, along with 2 governing vessels. Each pair is associated with a season, element, emotion and color. As we are in the midst Spring, it is time to celebrate and pay attention to our Liver and Gall Bladder.
LIVER (LV): Yin Planner "Behind the lines" General | Oversees the body and soul
GALLBLADDER (GB): Yang Carrying out decisions "Field Lieutenant" | Balances body and psyche
ELEMENTS
SEASON: Spring
ELEMENT: Wood
EMOTION: Anger/ Will to become (drive/growth)
