Fall is a Good Time to Show Your True Colors

Fall is a good time to show your true colors. Like the leaves in fall that lose their green due to the reduction of chlorophyll in their fibers from a reduction of sunlight, they begin to show their true underlying colors of red, orange, and yellows in every shade. It is an invitation for you to look inward to your true value. It is also a good time to look at what you can no longer tolerate. This comes from the pairing of inspiration and letting go to allow your true colors to shine through.

Metal Element becomes prominent in the season of fall. As with any transition, the changes you experience in this season vary from changes in the amount of sunlight you experience daily, to cooler temperatures, and changes in your activity levels.

In this season, plants put their energy into their roots while letting go of the past season to set new leaf buds for a new season with renewed light. So it takes grounding to activate potential with the correct resources and time. Letting go of what no longer serves your life as the trees do as fall progresses points to the message that balance and harmony within means releasing what no longer benefits your life while also creating new ways of preparing for new possibilities.

Taking Inventory of Your True Colors

It is time to look at what keeps you grounded and rooted, and consider what keeps you stuck in a mode of not expressing your truth in your values and communication. So it is a good time to ask yourself, “How do I put myself down or diminish myself?”

Criticism can keep you from taking action whether it be toward another person or within yourself. Looking at where you stand in the victim stance that reflects a lack of self-worth, or expecting yourself or another to be perfect can keep you in a place that creates behaviors that interfere with your ability to know that you are learning and a work in progress. Fall can be a time to take inventory and take an insight into creating positive self-talk and building a growth mindset.

Anxiety, anger, shame, or guilt can keep you from staying with a growth mindset. Sometimes locked in traumatic experiences where you did not have the support or resources from others to transform abuse can still have an influence on how you experience the world today.

This shows up in your adult relationships where triggers and patterns in relationships mimic the earlier traumatic experiences out of vulnerability and lack of experience with access to positive resources in the present for resolving or transforming the trauma experience from the past. However, resonating with inner resources within parts of yourself that stay present to your inner needs with care and compassion allows you to consider new possibilities.

Letting Go to Show Your True Colors

Letting go related to grief is the prominent non-coherent emotion to work with related to the Metal Element and Fall. On the physical level, grief can be registered from past losses. Your energy can be depleted in your lungs and show up as respiratory congestion and difficulties with letting go in the large intestines with constipation. So it is a good time to ask yourself, “What is my purpose in life?” and, “How can I connect to my purpose spiritually or in the world?”

Grief can keep you facing away from life and the inner value of the meaning from your loss to transform into love and compassion for your ability to face life again by taking the roots, love, and lessons from your experience to create the energy of love within to set buds for life with the wisdom and heart to take forward when you are ready. In this way, you can find light in the journey through the darkness.

30-Minute Virtual Meridian Repatterning

This 30-minute Meridian Repatterning will quickly get to the heart of what you need to create calm, ease, and well-being with Resonance Repatterning®. This session gives you a pathway to create greater stability and well-being in your life when you need it most. This session can be especially beneficial when you are going through a transition or feel like you need a tune-up. It works on the emotional, mental, physical, and core essence levels to give you feedback and updates to your bioenergetic system where energy is stuck or blocked.

You are designed for success and self-healing. Your Meridian pathways carry energy to every part of your body-mind system. These channels can create greater harmony and balance when you feel anxiety, fear, worry, anger, frustration, or depression. When you feel overwhelmed and stuck with these negative emotions, optimize the flow of these pathways to restore positive life energy to your thinking, life energy, and sense of well-being.

In Chinese Medicine, acupuncture or acupressure works with distinct places on these pathways to energize, purify, or add calm to these life-enhancing pathways. This creates a beneficial flow of energy where your energy has been interrupted or blocked by stress, injury, or life-depleting experiences.

Your body is a map of your life’s experiences. Each session is individualized to your needs. This can be done by phone, Skype, or proxy during this time. Your Nervous System reports through every muscle, tissue, organ, and gland in the body to access information stored within your body-mind system.

Getting to the Root: Staying Well with Root Teas and Vegetables during the Cold Months

During fall and winter, of course, there isn’t as much access to sunlight if you live in the Northern Hemisphere. Root teas and vegetables make a difference in how you nourish and sustain yourself and your body-mind system through these seasons with this shift in light and temperature.

Your digestion relies on heat to assimilate energy and nourishment from your food. The sun during the summer months assists with this process. In turn, it is much easier to digest foods and assimilate the energy from them where the plants are storing their energy. This means that during the growing season, they are putting their energy into their leaves and flowers so it is easier to metabolize and benefit from the energy in the leaves and flowers of the plant as it is growing above ground.

In fall and winter, plants put their energy into their roots to retain nourishment during the colder time of the year. It is for this reason that eating foods that are created from roots and below the ground that your energy will also be most nourished during this time of year. Like the seasons, in fall and winter, you need to have metabolic warmers while the body is in the process of conserving cellular and metabolic activity.

An Ounce of Prevention

This means that digestion takes a longer time. It takes fruits a longer time to digest. Foods that are primarily derived from roots take a longer time to digest. These foods include root vegetables like sweet potatoes, parsnips, beets, onions, garlic, and carrots. This is why in the winter months it is important to cook your food, instead of eating cold salads, to digest your food more easily. It’s about conserving heat and energy during this time to retain and absorb more energy.

Eating specific foods and drinking certain hot liquids that feed and fuel your metabolism rather than slow it down, ultimately support digestive balance and efficiency.  We know that scientifically speaking, not all calories are created equal. When you drink warm teas and water throughout the day, you can also continually stoke your metabolism.~The Hot Belly Diet by Dr. Suhas G. Kshirsagar

Onions, Leeks, and Garlic are wonderful when it comes to prevention. They lower cholesterol and blood pressure. They contain Quercitin, an anti-inflammatory antioxidant that helps with conditions like arthritis. They also go a long way in stopping a cold in its tracks when incorporated into your cooking. Eat them both raw and cooked.

Fennel Seed is good for cooking and also for tea. Fennel seeds brewed in a tea steeped for about 10-15 minutes aid with digestive cleansing, as well as respiratory health.

Warming Spices

Use warming spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and anise. They are very digestible. Drink chai tea to balance, warm, and nourish your entire system. This tea blend stimulates circulation. Many of the spices in chai also contain antioxidants and fight free radicals.

Root Teas

You can still benefit from the harvest of herbs, leaves, seeds, and roots from the summer with herbal teas that support your wellness and well-being. Use some of the roots of a medicinal plant to benefit you in keeping warm and healthy.

In order to make root tea, you can purchase some from a health food store at this time of year. Only a few pieces of the root are needed to make a cup of tea, however, you can make a decoction too. Heat your water, and then be sure not to add boiling water directly to your roots as this will destroy the medicinal properties.

Steps for Making a Tea Decoction: https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Decoction

Astragalus Root is an anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular, immune, blood sugar, anti-cancer, tumor, and supports your respiratory health. It is good in soups and also as a tea. Add a few sticks before cooking. Remove sticks before eating or drinking.

Elecampane Root supports your lungs when you have a wet cough. You can simply place a few pieces of the root that have been cut into pieces and place them in hot water to steep for about 5-7 minutes before drinking. Elecampane root supports asthma and bronchitis and is helpful for its expectorant qualities.

Ginger Root when sliced, peeled, and heated to a boil for 10 minutes, then cooled and steeped after 15 minutes will support bronchial health.  Use the ginger root in your cooking.

Marshmallow Root supports your lungs when you have a dry cough. It is helpful in cases where you have a sore throat, experiencing diarrhea, or indigestion. Make this tea the same way as above.

Digestion

In the cooler months especially it is important to support your digestion to have access to the energy provided by the foods you eat.

Clearing out “digestive sludge”-residue from poorly digested food that provokes hormonal imbalances and ultimately triggers inflammation, the root of virtually all disease, is an important aspect of staying healthy.~ The Hot Belly Diet

Ashwagandha Root is a tonic and supports balancing your hormones, especially testosterone. It supports your eyes, stomach, and lungs, and also nourishes your nervous system. You can cook with this root and place it in soups with parsnips, beets, garlic, onions, and/or carrots. It can also be used in a decocted tea.

Burdock Root is a nutritive liver tonic that helps to build and cleanse the blood. It promotes cleansing of the kidneys, as well as supporting skin health, arthritis, and cancer prevention. Burdock root is food in Asian cultures. It is placed in soups and also pickled. It is great for supporting your digestive health.

Dandelion Root works well to support your digestion and liver detoxification. It tones the pancreas and blood with a gentle laxative effect.

Detoxification during the Winter Months

 The best time of year for dieting and detoxification is during the spring and summer months when you gain warming energy from the sun to increase your metabolism.  However, during the dark months, you can use green tea when eating a meal with fatty foods to tonify your liver and support detoxification. You can also make herbal tea from plants like Tulsi (Holy Basil) or Tulsi Rose tea to keep you connected to the fire in your heart. Tulsi also benefits the function of your immune system while adapting to the changes that come your way during the cooler months.
