Spring Health & Harmony Spring Greetings Tai Chi & Qigong Friends, A sense of renewal and new life surrounds us. The long-awaited change of winter to spring is here. Seeds sprout, flowers bloom, the sun warms the earth. We too, like every living thing in the universe, are a part of nature. Health and balance can be maintained by keeping in harmony with the cycles of the seasons. Spring is the season for change, for blossoming and to be surrounded with beauty and the powerful energy of new life. It's time for breaking out of the hibernation state of inactivity of the winter months, a time of regeneration, new beginnings, and renewal of body, mind and spirit. According to the philosophy of Chinese Medicine and principle of Wu Hsing, the Five Phases/Elements; spring is associated with the wood element. (Spring Season Health & Harmony continued on page 2)
