As spring winds down, we shift into a new rhythm. But the vision seeded in spring still guides us.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Liver houses the Hun 魂 (ethereal soul). It governs our ability to dream, plan, and imagine new possibilities, even as the season changes.

As summer approaches, ways to support the Hun 魂: gentle movement, reconnecting with your intentions, acupuncture for harmony, and space for both patience and momentum.
