Spring fatigue – common natural symptom
Everything is about energy—everything is energy—and this level of reality impacts the physical world we see, including our own bodies.
TCM – Traditional Chinese Medicine – believes the human body is a microcosm reflecting the macrocosm of the universe.
The saying, “As above, so below” mirrors this insight.

Winter is drawing to a close, but with all the cold and snow, it sure doesn’t seem like it. When winter arrives, nature enters a process of withdrawal. It’s easy to see – the vital fluid begins to wane, and the trees lose their leaves; birds fly south; the ground hardens and water freezes. Cold slows everything down. This occurs in nature and it also happens within our bodies. Everything in nature enters a period of dormancy. Without this period of rest, there could never be enough energy to produce an uprising of growth in spring.
It may seem counter-intuitive, but true spring occurs in the midst of what we in the West consider winter. So if you’ve been feeling like you’re moving in two directions at the same time and you want to get up off the couch and yet feel like hibernating to avoid the cold it’s natural.
Are you asking what’s going on here!?!?
A certain energy has already pushed upward and outward through the hardened winter soil to create the colorful form of the flower.This is the true energy of springtime. So within you as well, there is an energy moving up and outward, while the external temperature makes you want to head for shelter and hide.
Ultimately, the climate will change in line with the incoming seasonal energy and you will feel the true new spring season.
Being aware of this process will help you to accept these natural changes and feelings of tiredness right now.
Thanks to all Yoga magic we are capable of listening to our bodies better and thanks to Yoga practice we can also adapt to different seasons faster and smoother.
Wish you a smooth season transition.
