September marks a transition. After the openness and expansion of summer, nature gradually begins to slow down. The days grow shorter, the light changes, and our rhythm naturally shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In traditional Chinese medicine, fall corresponds to the Metal<\/strong> element and the Lung<\/strong>. It is a time associated with the movement of withdrawal, gathering, and a return to the essentials<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Huangdi Neijing<\/em>, in its chapter on adapting to the four seasons, describes autumn as a time when one should \u201cgather the spirit and Qi\u201d and allow energy to turn more inward. In particular, the text recommends maintaining serenity and adopting a calmer pace to align with the natural rhythm of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Lung, associated with Metal, governs Qi<\/strong> and breathing. Symbolically, it also reminds us of our ability to welcome and then let go. Fall can thus become an invitation to make room: in our surroundings, in our schedule, but also in our minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Walnut<\/strong> can be a beautiful flower to use during this time of transition. In Dr. Bach\u2019s system, Walnut is traditionally associated with periods of change and sensitivity to external influences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just like autumn, it can symbolically mark the transition from one cycle to another: staying centered while embracing change<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n September thus invites us not to hold on to what must change, but to go with the flow with awareness and serenity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Breathe. Lighten up. Let go. And get back to what really matters.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" September marks a transition.
