Autumn Yin to Rebalance

In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), Autumn represents the Metal element, which is related to the Lung and Large Intestine Meridians (located in the upper body, shoulders, arms, torso).

Imbalanced Metal Chi or Qi (energy) in the lungs and large intestine can manifest as allergies, colds, low immunity and an inability to express emotions, particularly sadness. Puffiness in the eyes is said to be a sign of poor function of the lung meridian.

When Metal Qi is balanced we can feel more present and optimistic and more able to meet life’s ups and downs with acceptance and courage.

We will be practising a short lung and large intestine sequence at our Yin, Yoga Nidra & Gong workshop at Embody Wellness on 14th October.

We’ll also being doing some lung and large intestine practices in my Flow & Release classes on Sundays 6-7.15pm at Embody Wellness and Yin Yoga on Wednesdays 6-7.15pm at Evolve in South Kensington.
