AWAKENING SPRING VITALITY with Colin Hudon

Join us to call in the vernal equinox with renewed energy, strength and vision. As we transition from Winter to Spring, we move from formlessness to form, contraction to expansion, Yin to Yang, and the Element of Wood. We welcome back dearest Colin Hudon, herbalist, acupuncturist, practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and founder of Living Tea for a wisdom-steeped dialogue on how to work with the energies of Spring in the year of the Wood Dragon. In Taoist medicine, Spring is associated with the liver, gall bladder, and the wood element, which represents growth and an unstoppable force of energy. This is a time of rebirth, flexibility, perserverance, resilience, and letting go to grow. It is a season rooted in vision, creativity, planning and concrete action.   In this episode we cover how the wood element manifests in our inner and outer worlds, how to learn from conflict and limitation, the power of observing emotions, how to recognize and repair elemental imbalances, when to detox, how to crystallize and execute clear vision, and ways to support our systems through the seasonal shift with diet, meditation, mindfulness and tea. Colin shares some exciting new offerings from Living Tea.  Thank you Colin!
