Spring is a time of regeneration, growth and renewal, but it isn’t all daffodils and tulips. In your physical body, spring is the time that your liver and gallbladder organs are naturally cleansing themselves and so it is natural to feel like you are on an emotional rollercoaster. You might feel angry, irritated, aggressive, edgy, anxious. When we support our liver and gallbladder things flow free and easy without stress.

Yes spring is a season of expansive movement and growth. Spring is a time of creativity and planning. But, how does taking on more than we can deal with affect our body physically and psychically and emotionally? Our body starts to shut down, we experience low energy and then we reach for more toxins and to help us deal with the imbalance in our bodies. Our liver is responsible for this detoxification. Overdoing it doesn’t just mean overdoing it with alcohol or sugary and fatty food. What are your patterns of taking on too much? Consider the mental loop in your mind. Are you over-indulging in negative self-talk and self-deprecation? Even positive things such as a spiritual practice can be over-indulged, just consider fundamentalism in any shape or form.

Yoga with Melissa 62 is for your Liver and Gallbladder and will support you in taking a step back from overdoing http://www.melissawest.com/epsiode-62/

You can also support your liver this spring with dry skin brushing.

How to Dry Skin Brush in Spring http://www.melissawest.com/how-to-dry-skin-brush/

Benefits of Dry Skin Brushing your Liver Meridian:
Increases the ability of your liver to be able to do its job as the primary chemical detoxification factory of your body
Your liver organ is related to your tendons and so this may help improve your flexibility as well
Your liver organ meridian ends in your eyes and so this may help improve your vision
Improved flow of easygoing energy
Relieves anger, frustration and annoyance – emotions associated with the liver when the organ is out of balance
Relieves irritability associated with PMS

You can also support your liver with warm lemon water in the mornings
http://www.melissawest.com/why-warm-lemon-water/

Your liver does most of its work at night. Warm lemon water can stimulate the cleaning of your liver. Fresh lemon juice with water helps the formation of bile. The vitamin C in the lemon produces glutathione which helps your liver to process and eliminate toxins

When our liver is free of toxins we will have an easy going inner environment. We will be free from anger, irritation, annoyance, defensiveness and frustration. A healthy liver allows us to be flexible and adaptable. We will be able to harmoniously follow our path in life without being pulled off course by external influences. It will be easier for us to keep our equilibrium.

Your Liver is related to your eyes and so this yoga class for your eyes is a great class. Poses for your liver meridian will nourish your iris in particular. http://www.melissawest.com/243/
