21. FIVE ELEMENTS: Surrendering into the Metal Element and Autumn Season with Chinese Medicine Practitioner Christina Cecconi
Yesterday was the Autumn Equinox. And I couldn't think of a better way to usher in this season than inviting my good friend Christina onto the podcast to nerd out about the Autumn/Metal Season.
This year has felt like we're going through a collective Autumn since March. We've had to shed many, may layers of perceptions, stories and conditions. Perceptions of how the world works or "should" work has shifted. And it's been a haaaaaaard year, y'all.
The thing with Autumn is that it lays everything bare. We cannot hide behind the green foliage of Spring and Summer or the cover that snow brings in the Winter. ⠀
It is the season of transformation. And yet... we never look at the trees and think “Why are you changing? Why are you so different?”
Rather, we look at the trees with wonder and excitement and think “You are changing! You are so different from when I walked past you yesterday! You are so beautiful!” It’s time we shared that inner wonder not just with the trees but with ourselves.
We are shedding. The invitation is to stay in curiosity about who we will continue to be and who we are buried under all these leaves. It’s all part of the cycle. It will always be familiar and continually renewing while feeling foreign all at the same time. ⠀
What We'll Learn in this Episode:
✨ Insights of the Chinese Zodiac calendar and how it is being expressed in 2020
✨ Energetics of the organs associated with the Metal Element - Lung and Large Intestine
✨ Inquiries to hold for ourselves in Autumn
✨ How to honour the many seasons of Metal we will encounter in our life
