Welcoming the Autumn season

In Feng Shui practice, the beginning of the Autumn season can be characterized by a Metal element energy.

Meaning that this natural movement is about contraction, from outside to inside.

As nature slowly undresses herself from all the leafs and fruits, we can also work in perfect tune and do exactly the same.

If we connect with nature’s rhythms, our own life flow can be certainly more harmonious without feeling drained or disoriented.

This is probably one of the best times in the whole year, to look inside the closet, the home, the habits, for everything that no longer serves our well being, then let go and allow ourselves to really enjoy life with much more energy.
