The Gift of the Small Intestine

The Gift of the Small Intestine

The gift of the Small Intestine is discernment. In Chinese Medicine, the Small Intestine is in charge of extracting nutrients from your food, or as we call it “sorting the turbid from the clear”. Where in your life could you use some more discernment? What is nourishing to you these days, and what could be better left sent on it’s way? What does your body need to feel nourished? This can be extended into any area of your life--the food you eat, the company you keep, the work you do, the words you say. What is nourishing and what is not? Receive the gift of the Small Intestine to sort it all out for you.
