Autumn- Releasing & Receiving

Just as the trees shed their leaves, autumn is the time for looking within and letting go of anything that has served its purpose in our lives, of all that is tired, of all that is no longer useful.  

In the same respect, it is the season of the seeds.  This is when the seeds, who hold the potential to become the solid trees and nourishing fruits, find a quiet place to gather energy.  Here they rest in their potential through the winter, amassing strength from all around them in order to burst through the earth in the spring.

In this season of release and inspiration, we can more easily ask ourselves what experiences and ideas do we need no longer need?  And in the same respect, what it is that we want to fertilize and engender for our futures?  These concepts of self-worth manifest physically through the Lungs and Colon.  If you find yourself getting ill with lung or sinus congestion, or having challenges letting go- physically, mentally or emotionally- adding five-element acupuncture to your wellness regimen may help resolve these imbalances so that you can focus more energy on what inspires you.
