Heart Season
With the summer solstice on June 21st and the longest day of the year, we have entered heart season in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The heart is responsible for producing and pumping blood through the body. It is our circulation and is deeply connected to gynaecology for this reason.
The element associated with the heart is fire.
The emotion of the heart is JOY. We can find that we either lack joy - depression/sadness or we have too much joy - the feeling of mania or anxiety.
It is a time of growth and expansion- allow yourself time to play, adventure and experience the joys life has to offer but ensure to balance the increase in activity with downtime and relaxation.
