Decline in energy exerted outwardly and an increase in energy directed toward reflection and inner wellness characterizes this time of the year. As the leaves fall, let your self fall into the healing balm of silence and delve deeper into inner knowing. Knowing thyself is an ongoing journey.
This is a time to cultivate creative energy and plant seeds for future creative endeavors. Metal is the element of the season and it is said to be the Mother of water and the child of Earth. Contracting is a male energy and one should really learn when it is appropriate to expand and when it is necessary to contract. Contracting helps one refresh and renew for the upcoming season of expansion. The lung and large intestine can benefit from special attention and care through the consumption of warming foods and herbs that cleanse these organs. Mullein is a great herb that improves the health of mucous membranes and aids the lungs in the cleansing process. It does have a slightly calming effect; so it would be wise to drink this tea in the evening before bed with some licorice root for its warming qualities and sweet taste. Your skin would be very appreciative if you continue to stay hydrated and pay attention to the cleansers and moisturizers you are using. The energy of the earth supports the release of grief and sorrow; take advantage of these supporting energies and let go of the sorrows that have been buried deep within. Feelings buried alive never die. Bitter and spicy foods are usually beneficial to the process of healing during autumn/ metal phase of the year.
Let the energy you sense in quiet meditation guide you this season.
