It's time again for us to tune into the elements, our bodies, and the soothing subtle shifts occurring around us in nature; here in the Southern Hemisphere, we have entered into Autumn. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Autumn is the season of the Metal Element. As we come down from the energised Yang energy of warmer months into the Yin, we naturally find ourselves slowing down and going within. It is a time for introspection, reflection, and letting go of anything mentally, emotionally, or physically that no longer serves us. The Lungs and Large Intestine are the organs associated with the Metal Element. The Lungs, also known as the Seat Of Wisdom, play a vital role in the natural process of fortifying surface immunity (protective Wei Qi), strengthening Qi and our overall immune system. The Lungs also purify; The fresh Autumn air is inhaled and processed into True Human Qi, which is then carried throughout the body and distilled down to the Kidneys. This beautiful flow of transformation and distillation is why it's a good practice to take nourishing Yin herbs that keep the Lungs moisturised and protect the chest area from the cool, drying Autumn air. The Large intestines release toxins and waste from the body that is no longer required.  Mason Taylor: So if your Qi is transforming with flow through each of the organ systems through yang and yin, yin and yang, and different degrees and expressions, and let's say, you have a terrain which can protect itself. But that doesn't mean you'd be disrespectful to the system and be aware that it's not as much as it is infinite. It also is finite in what it can do because it's yin and yang. And therefore, you still put a scarf on when the wind is coming in cold to stop that the wind invading in through your throat. You still make sure that your kidneys are nice and warm, so the cold doesn't invade them all through your feet. So, it's yes to both. So, I'll just put it... because I had someone who wanted me to talk about it. Now, that's my piece   Tahnee and Mason discuss the herbs, practices, and emotions of this season, why breathwork practices are essential in this season and the importance of reflecting on the movements of nature with early bed, early rising, and lots of rest.     Mason and Tahnee discuss:  -Lung Foods. -Qi and Lung herbs. -Surface immunity and Wei Qi. -Convalescing foods for Autumn. -The energy of Lung Metal season. -The emotions of Lung Metal season. -Exercises for Autumn and Lung energy. -Contraction and introspection in Autumn. -The relationship between the Lungs skin. -The Lung and Large Intestine relationship. -How to strengthen Qi and build immunity. -Breathing practices for Lung Metal season. -Connecting with the seasons through nature. -Honouring the transition of seasons for good immunity.   Tahnee and Mason Taylor Tahnee and Mason Taylor are the CEO and founder of SuperFeast.

The Large Intestine channel is the Lung's partner in letting go. It is just as important as taking in. The two also share an element in Chinese philosophy - the Metal Element.

According to Chinese Philosophy, the Five Element theory describes wood, fire, earth, metal, and water as the basic elements of the material world. These 5 elements are seen in everything - from animals, people, nature, seasons, etc.  This theory is used in Astrology, Feng Shui and Qigong, to name a few.    Jennifer and Rose chat about the Five Element theory and focus specifically on the Metal element - which is the element of Autumn.  Chat with us!!  We would love to hear from you.

On this episode of Chi Time Harun Rabbani returns teaming with statistics and wise comments on the crossroads we are at for climate and personal energy, including topics like; * Self-responsible lifestyle choices boost health in support of creative right action. * Promoting self responsibility for personal health and that of our world by being in deeper connection with nature. * Responding not reacting to situations lets us take ownership and responsibility for our place on planet, and not rely on politicians. * People who are called to qigong, know their energy matters to them, more than being on social media for hours a day! * Scary STATS on screen watching time, indicates how we can retrieve more 'me-time/chi-time' to do more what you would like. * METAL ELEMENT considerations - discernment, where we place our attention, energy flows * Large intestine framing dantien centre of balance. Power of presencing self in the belly, the centre of gut intelligence.. How does it feel to be in contact with this centre of balance? * Our planet is a reflection of the state of us. Boom! Back to why self responsibility is key. * IMMUNE SYSTEM - STATS Gut biome creates 70% of our  immune system. How can this affect our mood? * SOIL - depletion of soil fungicides with farming methodology  How have we collectively depleted ourselves?  "The Need to Grow' film cites improving of soil quality of top importance. https://grow.foodrevolution.org  * TERRAIN THEORY - Dr Robert Young says; "A fish only as healthy as water it swims in." * A plant won't get infected unless it is diseased. It's not about feeding the plants it's about feeding the soil. * CHRONIC HEALTH DISORDERS - Medication and surgery cannot get rid of these, it's a LIFESTYLE SYMPTOM, therefore a personal choice empowerment possibility.  * Jerusalem artichoke features.. why? * What helps with grounding, as well as Qigong?  Gardening. Doing this helps reduce inflammation, when connecting to nature and soil * The power of the fungal network web beneath soil top. Trees communicate via fungi. I ask; "Is what goes on under the ground here, similar to what happens with us in meditation?" Also contained are fun facts like how does Harun, who loves to cook highly nutritious and flavourful meals, describe a supremely tasty one?! Working with energy, alongside diet and practicing Qigong on a consistent basis will help us become fitter, happier, healthier people. This, unsurprisingly, creates a fit happy healthy planet. The future is in our hands - and hearts.

LUNG HEALTH What can I do to strengthen my lungs? Elemental Qigong - and it's easier than you may think! Qigong helps to encourage Qi to circulate in the blood, without taxing the lungs. Listen to two qigong teachers, author Mimi Kuo-Deemer and your host Clara Apollo sharing their experiences of how the Metal element helps access deeper lung health, including;  * Qigong breathwork - observing, inviting breath to deepen and steady the pace * Elasticity of lung tissue - smooth, silken-like, the ease of the breath * Running & swimming increases the heart rate which can over tax the heart & stimulate the sympathetic nervous system * Qi-moves unblock and promote optimal qi-flow which does not tax the  lungs, rather nurtures them * Lengthen & relax approach stimulates qi-flow, called 'pandiculation' * Circular and spiral type movements encourage the qi to move through the blood * Challenge of qigong is to become more fluid-like, embodying the strength of water * Lung tissue is fine and delicate, it's alveoli edges are like leaves  * Asthma, covid lung tissue easily damaged leads to stroppy and hardening of tissue  * Qigong reminds lungs of their true nature to receive and release air calmly * Long, slow, even, deep, refined breaths stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system And so much more as we unpack the mysterious Metal Element and what this could mean for you to recognise your treasure within. A simple breath awareness suggestion is made for you to try.

The inevitability of our human experience is that we will, at some point, lose sight of our purpose. When we are misaligned with purpose, we get pulled into the vortex of addictions, avoidant/anxious attachment strategies and generally feeling disempowered in our own lives. On the flip side, when we can identify and make explicit what our purpose is, have a sense of what drives us, understand what lights us up with bliss, we are able to settle into what our Dao is. In today's conversation, Chinese Medicine Practitioner Christina Cecconi (who also happens to be one of my besties) and I explore the Fire Element and Summer Season. As humans, we are naturally drawn to the fire element. It is the metaphorical element for what connects us and what destroys us. And because of this, it is also the element that represents our Dao. What You'll Learn in this Episode: What does “Dao” mean and why the Fire Element is the Element of the DaoThe balance of Divine Masculine and Feminine The need for a container to express emotionsThe unhealthy chasing of bliss leading to addictionsHow the Fire Organs protect the HeartResources: “Harmony Enemy” Poem by Buddy WakefieldEp.16  What is YOUR Attachment Wound?Ep.21  Surrendering into the Metal Element and Autumn Season with Christina CecconiEp.29  Flow into the Water Element and Winter Season with Christina CecconiEp.38  Creating Purposeful Movement with the Wood Element and Spring Season with Christina CecconiYour Speakers:Kat Lee  is an Intimacy + Relationship Coach, host of The Empowered Curiosity Podcast and Creator of The Heart Lab.

LifeWave patches can be used to regulate the energy of the life force known as qi in the acupuncture meridians. According to Asian medical physiology, emotional stress and trauma affects the Corporeal Soul or Po, which is housed in the Lungs and is subject to grief and sadness. Grief and sadness constricts Po causing Lu qi stagnation. Such stagnation in the chest qi may result in lump or tumor formation. Emotional patterns of energy are best addressed in Asian medicine by the Five Element system or Wu Xing in which the Lungs are the yin phase of the Metal Element. So, to deal with grief and sadness issues, we discuss how to use LifeWave patches to support Metal. During the next Ask The Doctors LifeWave Radio Show Monday, Dr. Dennis and I will be discussing how to patch particular acupuncture points of interest including Lu 7, Lu 3, and CV 17, which unbinds the chest qi or disperses qi stagnation in the chest.

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 lifeYour Speakers:Kat Lee is an Emotional Alchemy Coach, Classical Chinese Medicine Practitioner, Podcast Creator, Writer + Community Leader who guides folks to alchemize their emotions, cultivate conscious relationships and embody their healing journey.Kat Lee's Website // InstagramChristina Cecconi uses the timeless wisdom of Classical Chinese Medicine to help cultivate genuine wellbeing in our present day lives.

In feng shui, metal is the element you don’t often hear much discussion about. Most often metal is regarded as a cure for negative energies, especially earth afflictions such as the 5 Yellow and Black 2 that cause both illness and financial difficulties.

Welcome back to our Five Elements series! This week we'll talk Metal, the second element in the production cycle, how it works and how to keep it in harmony.

You have a soul, your soul has a soul song. That soul song has the power to heal you. Soul Song has soul healing, vibration and frequecy. Every week I will be doing and sending out soul song healing a different part of the body, a certain relationship, finances and/or business.  Today I will be doing soul song for the lungs,respiratory system and/or metal element. Which ever your soul needs. You can listen to show live or in the archives. Listen again and again to receive the healing again and again.  You may feel the healing phyiscally, spiritually, emotional, mentally or you may not feel it at all. However, whether you feel it or not, know that the healing is happening on the soul level. 

This is your Astro Highlights for 2011. Astro Highlights is brought to you by HTTP://WWW.PUREPLANTESSENTIALS.COM organic aromatherapy. We are in a Universal Year of 4. We get this number by adding the numbers in 2011. 2+0+1+1 = 4. The 2 in 2011 signifies peace & harmony. The millennium called the 21st century is propelling us individually and collectively to create peace and harmony within ourselves and in our world. As we move further into the 21st century we are learning more about just how to go about creating and living in peace and harmony within and without. The 11 in 2011 signifies a gateway, a portal of Truth. This year each of us individually is passing through our own inner gateway of Truth. After this year you will no longer be able to lie to yourself, or dishonour yourself, or another without directly experiencing immediate repercussions. Even now you may be noticing that you are receiving immediate feedback from your choices and being given an opportunity to realize you are out of alignment with the Truth of your being. The Universal Number 4 is the number of Earth, and gives structure and Manifestation to Form. Global Harmony has been activated and is becoming Manifest through our social consciousness. ************* We had a potent Solar Eclipse just at the Roman Calendar New Year that was like rocket boosters to the New Moon in Capricorn ruled by Saturn, the planet that gives form and structure. Saturn’s symbolic glyph turned upside down looks like the number 4, the Universal Number of 2011. This was a powerful symbol by our universal Creator of its intention to manifest Truth this year in physical form. ************ On February 3rd we enter the Chinese New Year of the Metal Rabbit, this is the day after a New Moon at 14º degrees Aquarius which is in a close conjunction with Mars, the planet of action, desire and initiative and Trine to Saturn, the planet that gives form and structure to our lives. This signals added boost to a powerful New Cycle of beginning. Now we're getting yet another green light for moving ahead and giving form to our ideas. Saturn's recent retrograde motion on January 25th allows us the opportunity to slowly review our plans for re-structuring the area of our life where it’s presently located during the next 4 1/2 months and make adjustments that will support our long range plans. This is in harmony with the Chinese Metal Rabbit energies which move slowly and patiently. The Rabbit is peace loving and gentle, slow and patient and enjoys the company of others to share fun experiences with. You might think of the Metal Element acting as a sword of Truth. The Metal Element signifies sharp, defining moments, and lends a degree of harshness to the year as it cuts away dead wood; that which no longer serves the greater good or the new structures that are coming into form. Look for where the Aquarian New Moon is located in your chart to know which area of your life is highlighted. ************ Let’s have a look at the Major transits occurring this year. Look in your personal astrology chart, your horoscope, to find out where each of these transits is happening to know which area of your life is being most affected. ************* First let’s briefly review the various Aspects by Transit so you’ll have some understanding about what to expect. ********* Conjunctions are the most intense Astrological Aspects, may require tremendous effort at times, and create the most impact. ******** Trines feel fantastic though because they are so easy and effortless can be taken for granted and thus not much of long standing merit may be accomplished. The best way to always increase and maintain an increase with a Trine is to remain humble and in gratitude, and sharing your bounty will always multiply your blessings. Every blessing you experience in life is by the Power of Grace and not by Entitlement. This Truth will become more apparent this year. ******* The ************ Sextile Aspect will usually bear lasting Fruit; requires more action than a Trine on your part and feels very satisfying. *********** Oppositions bring opportunity for illumination when met with curiosity and openness, but may result in power struggles when Either Or, Right Wrong attitudes prevail rather than the wisdom that there is room for differences and a desire for acceptance of what is with heartfelt intention for moderation of one’s behaviour. It is through embracing the tension and discomfort of opposites that you transcend your resistant old patterns and struggles melt away to illumine alternative ways of perceiving. This is the power of alchemy to transform. So, oppositions can feel rather intense but ultimately the growth they offer is very rewarding and satisfying. So keep these general ideas about Astrological Aspects in mind as we cover the transits for this year. ********* Let's start with the planet Jupiter, the planet of expansion and good fortune. On January 22nd Jupiter entered the sign of Aries. With its entry into Aries Jupiter began a new 12 year cycle through the Zodiac. Jupiter will remain in Aries less than five months as it initiates the expansion of consciousness and attracts good fortune in this area of your life. Jupiter will most impact and bestow opportunities and support for initiating projects by Conjunction for the Sun sign Aries, and Aries Ascendant, by Trine the fire signs Leo, and Sagittarius, by Sextile the air signs Gemini and Aquarius, and by Opposition the air Libra. Jupiter enters Taurus on June 4th. Taurus is the sign of sensual pleasure and enjoyment and ruled by Venus, the planet of love. Jupiter will remain in the sign of Taurus for the remainder of this year and will Retrograde at the end of August. ************ On June 1st we have a Solar Eclipse/New Moon at 11º Gemini, signalling a powerful new beginning and, 2 weeks later, on June 15th we have a Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius which is ruled by Jupiter signifying that a major culmination will have been reached by many of us for the changes initiated back at the time of the Solar Eclipse that took place on January 4th. Take this opportunity to celebrate all that you’ve accomplished thus far this year! So at this time we have A New Cycle beginning as the 6month long cycle that was initiated by the New Year Eclipses reaches its culmination. ********** Now let’s have a look at Saturn, the planet of structure and giving form. Saturn is now mid-way through its 2 1/2 year transit of Libra, the sign that rules fairness, balance, the law, social etiquette, and relationships of all kinds. Saturn is exalted in Libra and ruled by Venus, the planet of love, sensuality and pleasure. ********** On January 25th Saturn turned Retrograde for a review of all the re-structuring, and re-designing it initiated over the past 8 months since the end of May 2010. You are now given the opportunity to slow down, review and refine any plans for re-designing in the area of your life where Saturn is located until June 12th when Saturn will Station Direct just before the Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius on June 15th. Now expansion and giving form to your ideas are given the green light and there is clarity for moving ahead with your plans through the end of 2011. The astrological signs being most directly impacted for change by Saturn during its transit of Libra are Librans and those with Libra Ascendant. During its transit of Libra Saturn makes harmonious Trine aspects to the air signs Aquarius and Gemini, is in Opposition to the fire sign Aries, and Sextile to the fire signs Sagittarius and Leo. ************* Now let’s visit Uranus, the planet of revolution. Uranus has been transiting the sign of Pisces for the past 8 years. Pisces rules the unconscious, the world of dream and visions. Pisces dissolves barriers and structures, can create confusion and illusion, and you can become lost in fantasy and day dreams. ************** On March 11th Uranus will move out of Pisces and into the sign of Aries, the sign ruled by Mars the planet of action and initiative. Again we see a New Cycle beginning for Uranus on the astrological wheel as it moves into Aries initiating a new cycle of revolutionary ideas and taking initiative and action to give them birth. There can be impulsiveness with Aries, so take care to think before you leap. So many fresh new ideas are available to be acted upon you can become accident prone during this time. Meditate and allow yourself space for integration and act from a clear mind when initiating your ideas. The time for revolutionary action has come! Uranus will remain in Aries for the next 8 years. ************ The sign being most impacted during Uranus transit of Aries are those with Sun or Ascendant in Aries. Your way of being and perceiving the world will be forever changed. I recommend meditation, walks in nature, sea salt baths, yoga, breathing, physical exercise of all kinds. The super sonic electrical charge of Uranus needs grounding so you don’t burn out. During its transit of Aries Uranus will trine the fire signs Leo and Sagittarius, form an Opposition to the air sign Libra, and Sextile the air signs Gemini and Aquarius. ************ On April 5th through August 15th the planet Neptune takes a brief dip into Pisces, the sign it naturally rules. Neptune has been transiting the sign Aquarius creating a lot of ideal notions about our common humanity, as well as confusion about how to go about revolutionizing various areas of our lives to reflect this new awareness that we share a common humanity. During Neptune’s brief entry into its home sign of Pisces Neptune will give rise to even more influx and mainstream use of telepathic experiences, and realization that we are spiritual beings having an earthly experience. The negative side of Neptune in Pisces could result in complete dissolution of boundaries, confusion over what is mine and what is yours, blurring of the personal and the transpersonal, and being lost in a sea of fantasies with no foundation and complete loss of touch with reality. Remember Pisces rules insane asylums. This marks a profound adjustment period for humanity to integrate the far wide global awakening of our development and use of super sensible faculties in a grounded way. During this time be sure to read the fine print and remember if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. So Neptune’s brief sojourn in Pisces this April to August will give us some small idea about what we might experience during its 10 year stay in Pisces that begins for good in February 2012. ************* Neptune will most profoundly impact by Conjunction those with Pisces Sun or Ascendant. By Trine the water signs Scorpio and Cancer, by Opposition the Earth sign Virgo and by Sextile the Earth signs Capricorn and Taurus. ************* Finally there are a couple of BIG outer planetary aspects I wanted to mention. ************** On March 25 to April 2 Jupiter Opposes Saturn, there’s a major push pull opportunity for illumination available with this transit. Jupiter expands and Saturn constricts, like huge waves of contraction during labour while giving birth, something wants to be born through this Opposition. Look to your own chart to see how this might be playing out on the stage of your own personal life. The KEY is to relax and allow the waves to move through you, allow whatever is happening to be okay! ********** On July 8 into October Uranus, the planet of revolution and sudden events comes within 1-2 degrees orb of Squaring Pluto, the planet of regeneration, healing and transformation. This is a recurring aspect through 2015. This Square is exact in 2012 when it really gets activated. Sudden events and deep transformational change will occur to clear away old forms and structures from our collective past. ************* On July 1st just before this momentous start of the square between Uranus and Pluto we have a Solar Eclipse/New Moon at 9º Cancer, signifying a powerful new beginning at home, for family, and our deepest collective memories. This is an ideal time for contemplating the healing that is unfolding for us individually and collectively over the next 6 months time. I immediately think of Eckhart Tolle’s book, A New Earth, which was popularized and made into a major online world event by Oprah Winfrey. A New Earth would be good reading, or listening, for you during this time to prepare your fertile imagination with the positive potentials available to us now. *********** On November 10th there’s a Full Moon in Taurus and on that same day Mars, the planet of action and desire Stations in the sign of Virgo for a long 8 month stay until July 2012. ************* Two weeks later on November 18th, Thanksgiving Day in the USA, we have a Solar Eclipse/New Moon at 2º Sagittarius, signalling freer expression, a time of expanding our consciousness and socializing with others over the next six months time. ************* Followed by a Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon at 18º Gemini on December 10th, also a very talkative and social sign. So there is a set-up for renewal of home and coming together as a family and enjoying one another’s company as we celebrate the end of 2011. ************ Thanks so much for joining me for your 2011 Astro Highlights.
