If the events around this equinox have affirmed anything, it’s to place equal emphasis on the heart and mind, easing tension between the tug-of-war that tethers its rope during difficult decisions..

The redder the tip, the more intense the stress. You can’t consider the mind without the heart and thyroid as well

Here are considerations towards the three:

1. Heat rises! If there is heat in the heart, it might come from below. Spring= liver rising, liver= woods

Take a walk in the woods to process thoughts, let the liver process contaminants, give the heart ample space

2. Move the Qi
Jujube date, ginger, faster walking, breath work will prevent the stagnation that hastens heat to begin with

3.Gentle greens.
Celery, micro greens, etc. ease capillaries around the heart and cleanse the liver

4. Facial Mapping

5. Help the Shen
The heart is a house for spirit and reacts to every emotion: anger, joy, despair, etc. Begin the day with water and meditation to not just change situations around you, but be balanced against them
