Autumn: Metal Season

As we enter Autumn, the time of Metal Energy, we refine our Earth energy in preparation of Winter. Now we make sure that we are making the best use of our energies while also doing away with any impurities.

Metal is associated with purification and elimination and corresponds to our lungs and large intestines. Our large intestines absorb the useful nutrients and minerals from our food while also partaking in the holding and excretion of waste.

Meanwhile our lungs, the primary focus of Metal, take in Oxygen to distribute through our body while exhaling used up CO2. Seated breathing meditation is especially helpful during this time.
