Autumn the Season of
Metal
When you
enter the meditation and training room at the Harlem Ki Energy Center, you will
see a circular symbol which represents the five elements Fire, Water, Wood,
Earth and Metal. This symbol is called
the Symbol of Truth by many Taoist because the five elements are considered to
be the true foundations of life. Autumn is the season of the element of metal. Each
of the five elements has a relationship with the universes and the human body.
The Yin/Yang
organs that correspond to the element of Metal are the Lungs (Yin) and the
Large Intestine (Yang). It is very important to develop a detoxification
strategy in autumn, to prepare for the coming winter. More people die from
colon cancer and lung cancer than any other cancer related disease. Special
attention should always be given to the care of the lungs and large intestine
in the autumn.
The large
intestine is the last part of the digestive system in humans and all vertebrate
animals. Its function is to absorb water from the remaining indigestible food
matter and then pass useless waste material from the body. The large intestine
consists of the cecum, colon, rectum and anal canal.The lungs
mix blood with oxygen, and expel used air, carbon dioxide, and other toxins.
The lungs control skin and sweat. The following are recommended ways to
detoxify the large intestine and the lungs.
Ki Energy
treatments always start with detoxifying pressure to vital organs located in
the abdominal area and the four lung detox points; a very good reason to have
Ki treatments especially in the autumn. There are also special Ki breathing
exercises that we teach that can address the lungs during this autumn season of
metal.
