TCM Seasons: Autumn

Autumn is unfurling before us and we are invited to harmonize with the essence of this season, embracing its unique attributes for optimal well-being.

In TCM, autumn is closely aligned with the color white, the element of metal, and the lungs. These elements embody the pristine purity and clarity of the crisp air, symbolizing the opportunity for renewal and reflection.

🤍 White, the color associated with autumn, evokes the essence of change and purification, encouraging us to shed what no longer serves us and embrace transformation.

🍂 The lungs, the organ of focus during autumn, are responsible for our breathing, regulating the flow of qi (energy), and fostering emotional resilience. Nurturing the lungs is essential for our health.

⚙️ Metal, the element representative of autumn, signifies precision and strength. Just as metals are refined through fire and pressure, we too can refine our inner selves during this season, honing our purpose and resolve.

Incorporate these principles into your autumn routine by focusing on deep breathing exercises, engaging in reflective practices, and embracing the crisp, invigorating air of the season. Let the wisdom of TCM guide you as you navigate the transition into this season of transformation and self-renewal.
