Paying attention to the cycles of the natural world and attuning ourselves to the shift in seasons both inside and out can be a curious way to be in conversation with your physical, mental, energetic, and emotional bodies. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the spring months are considered the season of the liver and the gallbladder. This 40 day offering is inspired by the elemental and emotional links to the spring months: wood + anger.
The springtime is a powerful time to bring balance, integration, and rejuvenation to the liver and gallbladder. The liver serves as a filter for our blood, a regulator of our mood, and is responsible for the movement of qi through the body. When the energy of the liver is in excess we tend to express anger, frustration, resentment, rage, and bitterness in unproductive ways. Think: agro.
The intention of our time together is to cool and relax the liver to reduce inflammation wherever it may exist in the physical, emotional, and energetic bodies. This program will support you in embodying the expansive and ascending qualities of the season. Think: spring rising.
When we improve liver function through both physical and emotional detoxification we make room for a rebirth. Think: MA.
The Details
Starting on the first Monday of Spring - and also a full moon - you’ll receive a pre-recorded 90 minute Katonah x Kundalini practice to be visited as much as possible for the week - once, twice, 5x - your body, your time, your practice. This will continue every Monday for 5 weeks. On the 6th week, the goal is to revisit the practices from weeks 1-5 on Mon-Fri - the build up to put it all together just in time for the trilliums to say hey.
Each practice harnesses the power of dynamic movement, breathing exercises, meditation, and journaling.
WEEK 1 - Remove liver stagnation + encourage free flowing energy
WEEK 2 - Improve liver detoxification
WEEK 3 - Improve liver drainage
WEEK 4 - Relax your liver
WEEK 5 - Liver + gallbladder = BFF
WEEK 6 - Put it all together
Community Sadhana
Every day for 40 days we’ll commit to one 3 minute dynamic breathwork affectionately known as fists of anger. This will serve as our daily thread.
