Yoga in the Yard - Stomach & Spleen

This week we will be going over the stomach and spleen meridians.

These organ systems correspond to the element of earth in TCM.

The stomach is associated with the emotion of worry. It is responsible for digesting the food we consume and the thoughts and emotions we experience. When it is in balance, you feel a sense of peace, safety, and clarity of thought. Symptoms of imbalance include bleeding gums, difficulty concentrating, and muscle weakness.

The spleen is responsible for transportation and distribution of nutrients to the tissues by producing and delivering blood from digested food. When it is in balance, you experience a healthy sense of taste and good circulation. Symptoms of imbalance include sweet cravings, cold hands and feet, and self-pity.
