Wood - Spring

I have recently been working on a series of poems that express and help to regulate the 'Five Rhythms' as they are seen in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This one works with the rhythm of Wood / Spring which is composed of two meridians: the Yin meridian being Liver meridian, and the Yang meridian being Gallbladder meridian. The individual affirmations for these in Donna Eden's Energy Medicine are: 'I am kind to myself' and 'I assert myself peacefully, and release judgement easily.' I am often not good at asserting myself, or expressing my wishes. But when I leave it too late, I end up putting too much 'push' behind my assertions, and that is not nearly as effective as doing it peacefully.  It feels great to say it to myself. How does it feel for you? 

Wood / Spring

In the eye of my mind

The grass is growing

Roots are pushing

A little further into the ground,

And the ferns of fantasy

Are ready to unfurl.

 

The Time is Now

And I can source

All the energy I need

To expand.

 

I choose to be kind

By being clear:

These are my needs

And these are my wishes.

 

I assert them peacefully:

We are all free to assert our needs

And our wishes

Without judgement.

 

Who I am in this moment

Will change

As I unfurl the leaflets

Of possibility

In the open expanse

Of the space I created

By choosing to be kind

And clear.
