TCM Basics 101: TCM Body Clock Heart 11am to 1pm
With the energy boost for the day taken care of in the morning, what organ is up next to take on the baton?
11am to 1pm: Heart Time
Organs related: Heart. The blood circulation is the highest during this period of time as the qi that is most active is at the Heart. Hence one should be feeling most energized at this period.
What you should do: Eat lunch and socialize! Enjoy conversations, connect with people and cooperate in projects and engagements. Reach out to people and be of service. Nutritious, balanced lunch should be taken as well, but proportions should be too filling.
Interesting fact: Heart is all about connection of ourselves with the thoughts, environment and people. It governs our ability to receive and give. So during Heart time, try to bring the focus of self in the morning to connection with the outside world. Take this time to engage and get involved socially.
