In Chinese medicine, each organ has a particular emotion. Each organ is paired with a yin (female) and a yang (male). The female organs work all the time, and the male organs only work some of the time.
Goal Setting in 2019
New Year’s Day is the major goal-setting day for most westerners. All of us say we’re going to move forward with our lives: eat healthier, exercise more, improve our relationships and make more money. And the list goes on and on and on. But, how will you stick to your goals? Here are some valuable secrets to stay on your program:
Balancing Your Emotions With Your Diet
Worry is the emotion of the spleen and stomach and is associated with the earth element. Worrying and insecurity can weaken our digestion. Lack of trust can cause problems with our digestion too. This will cause feelings of tiredness, lethargy, and an inability to concentrate. A week spleen can also be the cause of weight gain.

End Holiday Stress in Less Than Half an Hour a Day
As we welcome in the season, we also have a great opportunity to shift in our body and mind. Move beyond all of your stops, and turn them into steps. You have an opportunity to make a great shift in body, mind and spirit. There is an astrology shift to use all the energy of the planets to propel yourself to have all you ever wanted.
Staying Healthy Through Cold Temperatures
When you’re in the cold for any length of time, the small blood vessels in your skin get inflamed. These clusters of small blood vessels get red and itchy, or they swell. Patches will sometimes appear on your toes. Those popsicle toes can catch you off guard, because it doesn’t have to be freezing outside for you to get in trouble.
Time to Move Forward in Every Aspect of Your Life
Mercury is an excellent time to review your projects and plans, get all your files and paperwork in order. You can’t stop your life if mercury is retrograde, but if you plan ahead, and have good back-up plans, you may be able to avoid that miscommunication. Some people blame Mercury retrograde for “bad” things that happen in their lives. Instead, take this time to sit back and review where you put your energy in your life.
The Road to Recovery
Throughout our lives, we’re either growing, recovering or sitting stagnant. Those of us who are taking time to grow, taking classes, workshops and moving forward in life are actually evolving. And even in our next incarnation, we’ll come back as teachers and as Buddhists say, we’ll return as a Bodhisattva. A Bodhisattva is a person who has attained prajna, or enlightenment, but who postpones nirvana in order to help others to attain enlightenment.
Transformation and Progress
We all have crashes and burn parts of life away. Some of us become victims and lose our way, turn to alcohol or drugs. Others burn our heads in the sand like big dumb birds. And then there are the vultures who take advantage of these situations and swoop down and feed on them. Then there are those who come together and build and restore from the ashes. What kind of bird are you?
