The seasons turn and we come into Spring, the season in which the Energetic Phase of “Wood” is emphasized in traditional Chinese Five Elements theory. An ancient Chinese text says that “Wood energy is the energy of a small green plant in the springtime” – rapidly growing and expanding and taking its place in the world. Wood energy in balance is creative, expansive, generative and assertive but it often becomes problematic because…well, all the other little green plants are also claiming their space in the world and there can be conflicts.
Wood energy out of balance can manifest as allergies, indigestion, stomach aches, headaches, dizziness, vertigo, anger, depression and substance abuse as we try to calm ourselves down and live with frustration and stress.
Many people have issues with this energetic phase and if you do, in any of the above ways, Spring is the best time to get it treated.
