I wanted to take a moment to focus on our hearts today. In Chinese Medicine, the heart is considered the body's "ruler," controlling both circulation and our emotions. It's linked to the Fire element and is thought to hold the Shen, or spirit, which affects our energy and mental health. Nourishing the fire element, with practices like meditation, acupuncture or acupressure, and warm, healthy food all help us to protect and nurture our hearts- mentally and physically.

Below, please find a guided meditation, an acupressure article, and a link to recipes that include cinnamon, which is the HEART herb in Chinese Medicine.
