Acupuncture & Autumn

Thank you to Marguerette, Registered Acupuncturist with Elan Family Wellness Centre in Bowness, NW Calgary, for this information on how Autumn effects our body. 

AUTUMN: ELEMENT – METAL, Emotion – Grief.
Autumn is the end of the growing season(summer), now is the time to clean out Old Negativity.
As Nature lets go and everything goes bare, so with our life cycle, it’s time to eliminate, turns inward, rest, release what we no longer need and look at what is important in our lives.  
Failure to let go, hanging onto the past and things that no longer serve us, how we can be open to a healthy future with a new vision of who we are.
Grief, the emotion of the Metal element, is healthy and cleanses us of our losses. Inappropriate grieving or not grieving(holding on) results in a blocked metal energy and imbalances.

Organs:
COLON – Letting Go
Eliminates all waste from the physical body, the mind and spiritual garbage. It releases toxicity, constipation, allowing us to see the beauty that is within us and that surrounds us.
LUNGS – Inspiration
Gives us a breath of fresh air, inspires us to renew ourselves.
Both Lungs and Colon work as a team, bring in the pure air and eliminate the waste at all levels.
Restoring our Metal
In Autumn, the Metal element is at its peak and especially open to treatment. Acupuncture can resurrect and rebuild the Metal Element within us – physically, mentally, and spiritually.
This is done by having the knowledge of the Metal Element’s Energy and so restoring the Elements using needles and moxabustion.
Look at Nature, and learn to act in harmony with it's Spirit.
