The First of the Five Element Series: Metal. You can find the qualities, rulerships and signs of pathology above but let me share something special about the element of Metal with you all…
As part of the 5 Element Phases (Wu Xing), this element generates Water and Controls Wood.
So in taking care of our Metal in Autumn, we prepare ourselves for the season of Winter, ruled by Water and we support our Kidney system by breathing deeply and exhaling fully, with conscious effort.
Conversely, the same breathing style has a regulatory effect on the Wood element whose expression is Anger and Frustration.. We can use the calm, full and conscious breath of the Lungs to slow the speed of our Anger and gain awareness before we respond.
The healthy letting go actions of the Large Intestine removes physical waste and emotional tension to allow the Liver space to detoxify and sufficient nervous system regulation to improve digestion and restfulness.
Chinese Medicine is a lifestyle and the element relationships show us how to lead a lifestyle harmonious with nature – make an appointment today to start learning about how you can employ simple approaches to your health that will benefit you immensely into the future.
