The Changing of the Seasons - Autumn

Today is the first day of Autumn where we begin to move into contraction and begin the journey inward after the expansiveness of Summer. We prepare for the harvest of what we sowed 6 months ago in Spring. Remember to take time and look for the beauty in the changing season, notice the colours in the trees and scenery around us.

The meridians associated with Autumn are the Lung and Large Intestine meridians where the major emotional themes are sadness and grief, but also release and letting go.

Metal is the element of the season and reminds us to check in with our boundaries (are they too relaxed or impenetrable) and self protection (what armour are we wearing?).

The associated colour is white - a colour of being trustworthy, honourable and honest. Are we acting from the pure light of truth or being distracted by the appearance of shiny things?
