Live in the rhythm of spring: energy, movement and balance
Nature changes with the seasons – and we change with it. We his nature. Each season has a unique energy that can also be felt within us. In spring, everything starts to bloom again, the days get longer, and a fresh, upward energy hangs in the air. You can see this not only in nature, but also in yourself.
The energy of spring: Liver and Gallbladder
According to Eastern medicine, in spring the vital functions of the Liver and Gallbladder are especially active. This not only means that these organs play a greater role, but that the corresponding qualities and emotions are also stronger present. Think of:
✅ Movement and action – the urge to do new things
✅ Rising energy – a sense of growth and ambition
✅ Making plans – time for fresh ideas and looking ahead
✅ Expression and creativity – share your opinion, show your support
✅ Stability – staying balanced amidst all that change
When you live in harmony with the seasons, these forces support your natural rhythm. But in our modern society, this does not always happen automatically. Work pressure, stress, and constant stimuli can disrupt the balance, turning the positive spring energy into restlessness, frustration, or fatigue.
When the spring energy gets out of balance
Perhaps you recognize this: at this time of year you feel energetic, but sometimes you also feel restless or irritable. This can be a sign that the energy of the Liver and Gallbladder is not in harmony.
🔸 Too much upward energy? → This can lead to irritation, anger or headaches.
🔸 Too much focus on making plans? → This can turn into stress or indecision.
🔸 Lack of movement? → This can lead to stagnation, both physically and mentally.
Shiatsu therapists are seeing more complaints related to this during this period. Fortunately, you can do a lot yourself to support the natural flow of the spring energy.
How do you stay balanced in spring?
💚 Get moving – go for a walk, stretch, do yoga or Do-In.
💚 Go outside – feel the spring, breathe in the fresh air and recharge yourself.
💚 Express what is living within you – write, paint, talk or sing; expression helps!
💚 Take a break when you are tired – Spring energy is powerful, but overload is looming.
