METAL

The METAL element is associated with the season of Autumn and at that time of year, nature is letting go! Many people believe that this element is about grief and to a certain extent it is but I like the idea that grief is love with nowhere to go. That makes the Metal element about connection: to ourselves, others, animals, a plan, an idea or even a lifestyle. Throughout time, we have created rituals to honour our endings but somehow, especially in Western society, we have lost this important practice.

When our Metal energy is in balance, it’s easy to be inspired by life. In Chinese medicine, the organs associated with this element are the Lungs and Large Intestine facilitating the cycle of taking in and letting go. It’s when this cycle gets stuck, when we hold onto shame, guilt and unworthiness that we need help by releasing any clinging to the past or longing for the future. To access those diamonds that live within us, we need to align to our sense of meaning and purpose in our lives. By trusting our instincts and letting go of all that blocks our path, we can inspire our spirits and reconnect to a richer quality of life.

Are you holding onto sorrows and losses that are keeping you stuck and stopping you being connected to your life here and now? Do you feel your griefs aren’t worthy enough or you just need to pull yourself together? Or perhaps the loss is so overwhelming you don’t know how to begin to move forward? 

It’s important to honour our pain. Acknowledge it. See it. And give ourselves permission to feel it. Only by integrating it into our hearts, minds and spirits can we begin to heal. I will help you do this. Together we will find a way through to the next chapter by bravely and courageously letting go of what doesn’t serve you anymore to make way for a life of integrity.
