Dear Beloved Acupuncture Ohana,

Now more than ever, we are being asked to slow down and return to what truly matters: clarity, presence, and meaningful connection.

Spring is the season of gentle reawakening—a time to shake off winter’s contemplative stillness and lean into light. In a world rushing toward more, this season calls us to remember rhythm, tend to what’s essential, and nourish what longs to grow within.

Spring & the Wood Element: Awakening the Flow

Spring belongs to the Wood Element—the Liver and Gall Bladder rising like new shoots, guiding the smooth flow of Qi and the courage to act.

Liver: The Wind in Your Branches

Keeper of vision and emotion, the Liver stores blood and ensures Qi moves freely. When in balance, it brings patience, direction, and grace. When stuck, we feel irritable, frustrated, or lost.

Gall Bladder: The Decisive Edge
The Gall Bladder gives us discernment, clear judgment, and the courage to act. It partners with the Liver to help us move forward with integrity and resolve.

In the Biofield
Together, they influence your energetic field—shaping emotional resilience, aligned choices, and healthy boundaries. Balanced Wood energy roots you in truth while helping you stretch toward new connections.

Seasonal Reflection:
What within me is ready to grow?
What am I ready to release?

Support your Liver with greens, movement, and breathing room. Honor your Gall Bladder by listening to your instincts and expressing your truth. Let your energy rise—clear, courageous, and alive.

Here is a simple recipe to support our Liver and improve Qi flow in the belly.

Spring Greens Sauté with Lemon & Ginger

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch dandelion greens, spinach, or kale

• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, thinly sliced or grated

• 1 teaspoon sesame oil or olive oil

• Juice of ½ lemon

• Pinch of sea salt

• Optional: toasted sesame seeds

Instructions:

1. Wash and roughly chop your greens.

2. In a pan over medium heat, warm the oil and gently sauté the ginger until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

3. Add the greens and a splash of water. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until just wilted but still vibrant.

4. Turn off the heat, squeeze in fresh lemon juice, and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.

5. Top with sesame seeds if using. Serve warm.

Why it works in TCM:

• Greens support the Liver and help cleanse stagnant Qi.

• Ginger warms the middle burner and aids digestion.

• Lemon gently moves Liver Qi and brightens the spirit.

• Sesame oil nourishes and lubricates, supporting smooth flow.

This is a sanctuary for those feeling the ache of disconnection and the call to deeper presence. You won’t be asked to fix yourself—only to listen, soften, and let nature guide your unfolding.

As spring invites new beginnings, ask yourself:

What is ready to be shaken off from winter’s reflection?

And what quietly longs to grow through you now?

With love and reverence,

Linda Ming Lee, L.Ac., MSOM
