Hi Reader.
I've been touching a lot of emerging Spring Qi this week and thought I'd rise up to say hello to you, welcome some new folks to the Village and share Blood nourishing tips and info.
Norooz Mubarak! Eid Mubarak!

One of my children is part Iranian, my Father was Turkish and my communities include many diasporic SWANA folks, connected often through queerness and liberation. Hearts are heavy, and hope remains inevitably available.
From my heartmind to yours... May Spring offer all existence health, well being and the courage to engage in genuine conflict to ensure a longer life for the very Earth beneath our bodies and souls.
Spring Qiken!
In Spring, Qi starts to surface all over the planet and in our bodies. We see crocuses emerge, and winter's fog begins to ebb. I pick up on the increased Qi of Spring in the needles as I feel for the arrival of Qi - de Qi, a sensation of Qi in the channels grasping at the needle. It is that much more palpable beneath my fingertips these days.
Spring is a natural time of change. Harness the winds and commit to a change you want to see in the world.
Welcome to any newcomers, if you haven't already please come and see the new space, @1457 Dundas West and take any moment you can to notice the crocus, the bright green leaf against a gray sky, the almost warm breeze and in all this please see hope all around us and channel that reality into the struggles and loves of our times.
