Showing Kindness to your Liver
by Karen Chin.
The liver performs a lot of critical metabolic and digestive processes, here fats are converted into energy or prepared for storage, proteins and other nutrients are transformed into usable form. The liver cleanses the blood by removing toxins, nutrients and even old blood cells. All the cells of the body rely upon the liver organ for health and optimal functionality.
In Chinese medicine, the liver is known as a storehouse for anger. Too much anger, especially if repressed is like a toxin in the body and can be expressed as depression, shame, jealousy or irritability, all of which further deplete our energy systems.
The liver gives life. It reflects how much we embrace life. A healthy liver encourages enthusiasm, kindness, creativity, inner strength and resilience.
Whether your liver is showing symptoms or not, Kinesiology can assist in unlocking the physiological or emotional issues associated with liver imbalances.
