Happy Equinox! This blurb comes from my newest blog post.
As autumn arrives over Bucks County, PA, the landscape transforms into a vibrant tapestry of colors. Trees don their rich hues of red, orange, and gold, creating a picturesque backdrop against the crisp, clear blue sky. The air becomes cooler, inviting our community to enjoy apple picking at Solebury Orchards and exploring local farmers' markets (looking at you Wrightstown Farmers Market). Fall in Bucks County epitomizes the transition of explosive, energetic Yang into the depths of Yin.
I don’t know about you, but always feel the most uncertain at this time. The weekends get booked up quickly. Time feels less and less available. Everyone is busy. My clinic tends to slow down in August and September and then all of a sudden picks up and get so so busy again. The uncertainty is hard. We are all busy, tired, overwhelmed, trying to get things done.
In Chinese Medicine, this time is the time of the Metal Element. It is also the season of our Lungs and Large Intestine according to Chinese Medicine. What this means is that grief, sadness, overwhelm, difficulty with letting things go (the large intestine is responsible both physically but also emotionally for this), and colds/flus can come to the forefront.
So how can we manage this transition with ease?
