    What Is Wood?!

    🪵 This week Ben asks Gabriella What Is Wood?! As winter retreats and nature awakens, Gabriella explains how Wood symbolises the season of Spring, marked by a flurry of activity and growth. Contrary to common belief, Spring doesn't begin on a fixed date but is heralded by the increasing light after the winter solstice, sparking life's resurgence even amidst lingering chill. Through vivid descriptions, Gabriella paints a picture of nature's exuberance in Spring, from the emergence of delicate flowers to the gambolling of spring lambs. Engaging in lively banter with Ben, she unravels the symbolism of the colour green, the sound of shout, and the emotion of anger associated with Wood. Their conversation highlights the element's role in birth, flexibility, and determination, mirrored in the unstoppable force of life pushing through obstacles. Exploring further, they discuss the sensory aspects of Wood, from its rancid odour to the sour taste of unripe fruit, and its association with the sense organ of the eye. As they wrap up part one, Ben reflects on the significance of understanding Wood's essence for holistic health and the practice of acupuncture. Stay tuned for part two, where they delve deeper into the nuances of Wood's expression and its relevance to acupuncture therapy. Embrace the energy of spring and join Gabriella and Ben on this journey of discovery through the elemental forces shaping our world.
