That heavy, flat feeling that's hard to explain ā TCM has a name for it šæ Not sadness exactly. Not burnout exactly. Just... heavy. TCM calls it liver qi stagnation ā and it's incredibly common. When the liver isn't flowing freely, emotions stop moving through you and start pooling. That flatness? That's stuck qi looking for an exit. The beautiful thing is ā qi that's stopped moving can always start again. š± Signs yours might be stagnant: ā Sighing a lot without realising ā
