SUMMARY:Metal Element - Chinese Dietary Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Metal Element – Chinese Dietary Therapy\nThe Metal Element is part of the Chinese five elements theory refers to the five elements of wood\, fire\, earth\, metal\, and water. This theory can be used to describe the movement and the relationship between different elements and phenomena in nature. \nThe principles of Chinese Dietary Therapy take into account the energetic properties of foods that can transform health. For this season\, find out how to supercharge your immune system\, help your lungs and combat colds and flu with food and spices! There will be food tastings and recipes supplied!  \n \n“CYCLES: AUTUMN\n THE SEASON OF METAL ENERGY \nThe Work of Autumn: Cleaning Out Old Negativity\nIn autumn we learn more about ourselves\, perhaps\, than in any other season. Having provided the harvest\, Nature now makes everything bare. In this season Nature lets go of its abundant creation of the past year in a grand final display. Autumn marks the end of the growing season – a turning inward\, a falling away of outer-directed energy. Leaves turn color and drop. The old leaves go back to the earth\, enriching it to promote the coming of new leaves\, a new harvest. \nNature instructs us about our own cycles of creating and letting go: Trees in autumn don’t stubbornly hold onto their leaves because they might need them next year. Yet how many of us defy the cycle and hold onto what we’ve produced or collected – those decayed leaves\, that old negativity? How can we hope for a harvest next year unless we let go of the old and start afresh? \nThe energy of this season\, more than any other\, supports our letting go of the waste\, the old and stale in our lives\, leaving us receptive to the pure and new\, granting us a vision of who we are in our essence. Autumn returns us to our essence\, moves us to eliminate what we no longer need\, reveals again what is most precious in our lives.” More at Classical Five-Element Acupuncture \n  \nWhere: SOPHIA Natural Health Center\, 31 Old Route 7\, Brookfield\, CT\nCost:  $20 donation – FREE if you bring a guest \nRSVP: 203-740-9300
