The Autumn is the Time to Build Emotional Endurance!
How do you feel in the autumn? I've noticed several friends have a hard time emotionally this time of year.
We see the leaves falling and plants returning to the earth as the natural world lets go of what once was.
This time of year can bring nostalgia as it's hard to let go of the past.
In autumn, when the energy starts to travel inwards, there is compression in the atmosphere that can be physically felt.
The autumn relates to the metal element. Metal has significant weight and can be sharp and cutting. These are the energetic qualities that we feel in the autumn. The cutting away and letting go.
This is the time of year when the lungs and large intestine energy (Qi) is running the strongest - and the easiest time to work with their energy and bring it into balance.
If our lung energy flow is weak, we suffer from the challenging emotions of excessive sadness and grief, which feel heavy, like metal.
If it's excessive, it can appear judgmental, critical, dogmatic, harsh, sharp, and cold, which are also metal-like.
But if the lung energy is strong and running efficiently, we can cultivate the positive attribute of the metal element: integrity, as metal has a lot of integrity. Strong discipline is another positive attribute of metal, to do the practices that maintain our well-being. Balanced metal energy brings us courage and emotional endurance.
If you, or someone you know, could benefit from increasing emotional endurance, integrity, and stick to discipline, I have some good news...
In just a few weeks, I am releasing
a home practice digital course to
INCREASE EMOTIONAL ENDURANCE
with specific breath work, meditations, yoga and qigong to fortify lung Qi.
These practices will be yours to practice over and over
which will make you feel lighter and able to enjoy the autumn,
the holidays, and the colder months ahead.
From my heart light to yours~
Namaste,
Maggie
