Chinese Medicine teaches us that the heart is the empress of our being, governing our emotions and spirit. As the push of yang energy intensifies with the rise of summer and the approach of the summer solstice, we are invited to open ourselves fully to this season's warmth, joy, and connection. Here we’ll explore the significance of the heart in Chinese Medicine, its role during the summer, and the practices we can adopt to nurture our hearts, especially during these challenging times of global grief and uncertainty.

The connection between our physical and emotional well-being offers profound insights into our health. The Heart and its correspondence to our emotions and bodily functions are the core of this ancient healing system.
