From restlessness to inner strength: the TCM path to serenity

🌾 Unruhe — Die rastlose Energie des Holzelements

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), restlessness is part of the wood element - the energy of growth, change and movement. It drives us on, allows us to move forward.

But if this energy cannot flow, it builds up.
Thoughts circle endlessly. The body feels tense. A feeling of being driven arises.

Many experience inner nervousness during this time - as if something inside them is pushing forward but not making any progress.

However, this is not a sign of weakness, but a sign that your Qi wants to start flowing again.

The solution? Not to fight against the unrest - but to give it direction.

✨ 3 ways to gently transform restlessness into calm:

1️⃣ Meridian tapping: quick relief for the body
If you are feeling restless, gentle meridian tapping can help to balance your energy immediately.

💡 Tip: Gently tap the liver point 3 (Tai Chong)
📍 Er liegt auf dem Fußrücken, zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Zeh.
➡️ Gently tap or massage for 30 seconds - feel how your inner tension is released.
