Need Help with Letting Go and Getting a New Plan? Get a Five Element Acupuncture Tune-Up for Fall and Winter.
Many of you are familiar with Dr. Horan’s practice of Five Element Acupuncture, which as part of its goal, seeks to align a person with the natural cycle of the seasons. In Chinese medicine, each season is associated with one of the five elements: metal, water, wood, fire, and earth. Each element is associated with some aspect of human health and experience in the larger cycle of life. One of the benefits of Five Element treatment is that you can have a “seasonal tune-up” to sharpen your attunement to your appropriate activity level and focus. This seasonal tune-up can make sure your life over-all is staying on track.
Fall is associated with the Metal element, which rules the lungs and large intestine organs, and governs the need for letting go. When the weather changes to cold and damp, the lungs are the most vulnerable to the climate change, and people become vulnerable to upper respiratory illnesses. In the Five Element perspective, as trees lose their leaves and life begins to contract, so must we release what is no longer needed, in order to clarify our values and create a space for what is to come in the future.
Without letting go of things both physically and psychically, we won’t have the room for bringing in new life in its place. What if you were grieving the loss of an old relationship too long and missed a new opportunity with someone right in front of you? A Five Element treatment can help bring you into the present moment to allow effective grieving for all things past, and moving on.
Winter is associated with the Water element, and rules the bladder, kidneys and adrenal glands. Winter is a time for reflection and focus. Winter is when earth’s forces are deep within. Just as nature pulls her attention down to her roots, so should our actions correspond to this principle. If you’re not “feeling your roots” in winter, and you keep your activity level as busy as you are in the summer, you will probably fail to regenerate your adrenal glands and drain the inner resources, and be prone to sleep disorders and loss of energy. A Five Element treatment in winter can help re-calibrate your adrenal glands. Winter is also the season for reflecting on what is working well in your life. It is from this reflective place that we come up with our next year’s best plan for creating what we want and having the energy to actually put that plan into action when spring comes.
Don’t miss the opportunity to strengthen your body’s vital force and to live the biggest life you can create. Call for your Five Element Seasonal Tune-Ups for Fall and Winter today with Dr. Horan.
