Spring Spiritual Practice

The energy of Spring, as we see in our gardens, brings the opportunity for new growth, fresh starts and new beginnings.

The trees have come back to life, blossoms are blooming, the grass is growing, sprouts are ‘taking off’, growth is everywhere! Beautiful smells, sprite-liness and baby animals…

During Spring, everywhere in nature, we see and feel and hear the energy, the pulse, the sound of new growth.

And so we have the opportunity to consciously align with this energy and ‘use’ it to fuel whatever new beginnings we are creating in our lives.

Feng Shui your home for Spring

After a dark and quiet winter, the bursting energy of feng shui spring is a welcome change. Feng shui, which translates to the words wind and water, is the active philosophy that chi energy flows through everything on earth and in heaven. The seasons and their weather influence how chi moves through your home and your life, and are each represented by an element. Learning the secrets of using the elements to balance seasonal chi energy can bring harmony and luck to your life.

2025 - Year of the Wood Snake

The snake is a ancient form of life and has survived evolution over millions of years. It has done this by being adaptable, creative and resourceful (being able to shed its skin).

As we move into 2025, the snake offers us more opportunities to expand our intellect and ‘shed our skin.’ By taking the time to achieve your goals, patience comes with ease. This year is ripe with energy, so we must integrate our qi and be open to love. Celebrations for the snake year begin on January 29th, and the snake officially emerges on February 3rd. What else does this year have in store for us all??

How Chinese Medicine Tackles Inflammation

Moon Phases for Well-being

For centuries, the moon and how it affects human behaviour has been at the centre of mythology and folklore around the world. The very word “lunacy” dates back to the 15th century when it was believed the moon and its phases could make people become more or less aggressive, depending on its place in the lunar cycle. But how does the moon affect our day to day lives?

Your Body is a Garden ...

What does gardening have in common with Chinese Medicine? Quite a lot actually. Stemming from the Taoist tradition, Chinese medicine practitioners look at the body as a microcosm and as part of the natural world. Just like in gardening, the same principles of soil preparation, fertilisation, planting and weeding are necessary for good health.
