A Gift for your Lungs

It might still feel like summer where you are, but in Chinese medicine, a shift is just around the corner. We're about a week away from entering the season of the Metal element.

Lung + Large Intestine Time

The Metal Element is the season of autumn, and it governs your lungs and large intestine.

Remember, when we talk about the elements, we're really talking about organ systems. Your lungs are your body's protective shield. In Chinese medicine we call this your Wei Qi, the energy that guards you against colds, wind, and everything a change of season brings. Modern science is catching up too, pointing to your airways and even your microbiome as front-line players in your immune defense.

The Metal Element Reset

One of the things I've come to appreciate over the years is that we don't have to wait until we're sick to care for ourselves.

I’d like to share a free 10-minute practice I call the Metal Element Reset. It uses simple acupressure and breath to strengthen your immunity, open up your breathing, and help you let go of any stress or grief you've been carrying. Because this season is about letting go, too. No experience needed. Just a few quiet minutes with me.

Your body already knows how to protect itself. Sometimes it just needs a little reminder.

Warmly,
Janet
