But be careful, just as our spring has relaxed to the maximum, it will come to a standstill around June 21. We need to store heat and light. So activity yes, but no hyperactivity! It's also the time to take breaks, naps and give yourself time to do nothing...and also live outside, spend time with your friends or family. All of this helps nourish the heart.
Diet: which food to turn to?
The Fire element is associated with the bitter flavor: will you take 1 Coffee? (no more than 3 cups/day...and then no sugar, otherwise you turn off the heat...).
Other foods can add a little bitterness to meals: chicory, escarole, asparagus.
What self-massage could do me good?
Circle your right wrist with your left hand and turn around ten times back and forth.
Then with your right thumb, push from the end of the wrist on the little finger side towards the palm of the hand.
Perform several movements then change hands.
I want to practice Qi Gong but I don't know which exercise to do?
Stand with your feet parallel, hip-width apart.
Visualize a warm, shiny, luminous ball in your hands then gently penetrate it through thought at the level of the stomach just below the navel, place the hands on top of the stomach. Stay like this for a few moments, head connected to Heaven, feet anchored to Earth.
What if you recharged your batteries in red?

Its calming, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties come from its main active substance, paeoniflorin. This has enabled the development of its use in herbal medicine and cosmetics where it is very appreciated for relieving, soothing and reducing the severity of certain skin conditions.
Also present in this fluid, extracts of Lian zi xin (Lotus sprouts) which is recommended to drain the Fire of the Heart, relieve irritability and promote calm and relaxation.
