Question: What can I do to build my health in the spring?
Answer: Spring is the most important season of the year. Look at nature – everything grows and transforms. If you plant a seed too late, it will not grow; If you plant it too early, it will wilt. Nature is balanced. It knows how to use the seasons to create life. View nature and become aware of her messages. Then use these messages as a guide in your own life.
