Liver Foods for Spring
Foods eaten during the Spring season should be young and tender, lightweight, slightly spicy, slightly sweet, perhaps sour, and best if green or yellowish in color. The goal is to eat in a way that will create a spring inside our own body.
Liver supporting Foods: increase

Do walking meditations such as this one: Go for a walk. Each time you take a step say something positive to yourself, either silently or out loud. Start to notice the beauty (colors especially) all around you. Or say something to yourself like, I”‘m getting better and better every day in every way” or “I’m a divine perfect spiritual being.”
