That stuck, wobbly, caught-between-two-things feeling? In Chinese medicine, it’s not a mood — it’s a body mid-transformation.
Here’s what most of us weren’t taught to name: every transition — a season, a move, a new chapter — asks the body to convert one state into the next. And that conversion has a home. The Spleen.
Not the organ from anatomy class. In Chinese medicine the Spleen is the body’s transformer — it takes in food, experience, and change, and turns it into something you can actually use. It’s the Earth element: the steady ground that lets everything else grow. So when you feel restless, foggy, or stuck on a loop between two things, that’s not a flaw in you. It’s transformation underway — asking the Spleen for support.
The way in is one point and one oil:
SP3 (Taibai) — the Spleen’s source point, on the inside of the foot. It strengthens the whole system and steadies an overthinking mind.
Geranium — an oil that touches all three organs of this exact transition: the Liver you’re leaving, the Heart you’re heading toward, and the Spleen holding the center. It strengthens the Spleen and clears that heavy, stuck feeling.
One drop, diluted, on SP3. A slow minute of breath. Then get up and move — because the Spleen doesn’t only transform, it transports. Ground the center, then keep things flowing.
Save this for the next client who feels caught between two chapters.
