. This spring, my yard has been filled with an excess of dandelions. 🌻Watching them grow from fluffy seed clouds to vibrant yellow flowers is a delightful experience.
Since my tortoises🐢 love dandelions, I want to ensure that my yard has an abundance of dandelions for them to eat. A lot of people view these perky yellow flowers as unwanted weeds. They are seen by others as a potential liver-boosting tea or food for pets (as in my case). Yes, they can get out of control and we have to find ways to “weed” our garden.
Similar to gardening, we need to continuously cleanse and nurture our minds and bodies. It might be necessary to address tension in the body, irritability, or unhealthy lifestyle habits.
By doing purging Qigong practices, such as body tapping, while taking deep breaths through the nose and exhaling through the mouth, we can practice “weeding” our minds and bodies. The practice of journaling and meditating can assist in clearing your personal garden as well.
The important thing is recognizing when you’re out of balance and using the tools that work for you to regain harmony.
