From Metal to Water

The season is moving from the element of Metal to Water. We've seen the end of the growing season. The time of Metal is usually one of sadness and need. Being aware of these emotions helps us to work through these emotions. Meditating on the positive side of things can help us stay positive throughout the season. As we move into the time of Water, meditation is even more necessary to quiet the soul and store our energy for the next season. During this time vegetation fully recedes and takes in the moisture, storing it in order to fully bloom and maximize the growth process in the Spring. The same happens in the body when we treat it right and respect the time of year. It's important to nourish ourselves, stay warm, and protect ourselves from the elements. Lack of protection can lead to illness; colds and flu. Lets make a concerted effort to respect the quiet, store energy, and prepare for the next growing season.
