5 Ways To Attune & Bloom In Spring

Spring is a time of growth and new beginnings. It is a time of year when we feel like naturally waking early with the rising sun. Our energy levels start to increase and this increase of energy flows into summer.

With our rising energy levels comes an increase in creativity, determination and strength. This is the time of year to begin new projects and to put your ideas, goals and dreams in motion. To help enable you and your dreams to come to fruition let us explore 5 ways to attune and bloom to spring.

Tip #1 - Spring Clean In And Out.

Spring is naturally a time for cleansing internally and externally. As nature renews itself, we too feel called to refresh and reset.

Externally, many of us feel an instinctive pull to clean and clear our living spaces—hence the term “spring cleaning.” Have you noticed the urge to declutter your shelves, open the windows, or freshen up the garden? This same principle can apply to your body. Try dry skin brushing, body masks, or exfoliating scrubs to slough off the old and welcome the new. Personally, I love using Living Koko's cacao body scrub—it feels indulgent, smells divine, and leaves my skin glowing.

Internally, spring is also an ideal time to lighten the load on your digestive system. This could mean eating a bit less, focusing on lighter meals, or even trying a short fast—if that feels right for your body. With the rising energy of the season, spring is often the easiest and most natural time to give your digestion a gentle rest.

Let the season support your renewal—inside and out.

Tip #2 - Eat Seasonally.

Aim to keep food preparation simple in spring. This season is best supported by a light, fresh diet. Avoid heavy, rich foods, and instead focus on meals that reflect spring’s upward-moving energy. Eat young leafy greens, sprouts, fresh herbs, and lightly fermented foods..

Whenever possible, eat what’s in season locally. Seasonal produce is not only more nutritious and flavourful—it’s also better for the planet. As PIP Magazine wisely puts it:

"When we choose to eat what is in season and to eat locally grown foods, we reduce or remove the harmful wasteful aspects of processing, packaging, transport, storage and additives, and we begin to take control of what we eat."

Right now, as I write this at the beginning of spring, our garden is bursting with rocket, parsley, baby lettuce, sugar snap peas, and nasturtiums. Everywhere I look, there’s fresh growth. The bees are starting to get busy again and buzz about… which brings me to my third tip.

Tip #3 - Spend Time Outside With Nature.

As the energy of spring begins to rise, it's especially beneficial to spend time outdoors in nature. This season marks a time of renewal, growth, and increased vitality. Connecting with the natural world can help you align with these energy shifts and help keep you grounded.

If the weather permits, try walking barefoot on grass, soil, or sand. This simple practice, often referred to as "earthing" or "grounding," allows your body to connect directly with the earth’s surface energy, which can help stabilise your own energy, reduce stress, and promote a sense of calm and balance.

Tip #4 - Meditate In The Morning.

With the rising of energy comes an increase in resistance to meditation in the form of restless thoughts, boredom, and agitation. It is helpful to acknowledge this resistance and to adapt and attune by meditating in the morning before any stimulatory drink.

Tip #5 - Balance Your Liver And Gall Bladder Meridians.

Spring corresponds to the wood element in TCM. The wood element involves our Liver and Gall Bladder meridians, and it is believed these meridians are more vulnerable and prone to imbalance during spring.

The main functions of the wood element are detoxification, maintaining even Qi flow, the promotion of circulation, and the storage of blood. The wood element is associated with the emotions of anger, frustration, irritability, and resentment.

Some of the ways we can nourish and balance our Liver and Gall Bladder meridians are through food, movement, acupoint stimulation, and meditation (see link above).
