Qigong for Spring: Fresh Growth Emerges
In Chinese medicine, spring is the wood element, ruled by the liver and gallbladder meridians. Shake off the winter with a Qigong set designed to enhance and balance these meridians giving support
for increased light, wakefulness, and vitality. As the promise of fresh growth emerges, the heavy, slow, and dull energy of late winter gives way to increasing light, movement and wakefulness.
