Having traversed the Fall equinox, we are in the season when Qi (energy) moves inward, and days become shorter and darker. This is the season of the Metal element. Grief is the emotion of the Metal element. At times we all experience loss, separation, and “letting go,” and it is appropriate to feel grief at those times. One quality of balanced Metal energy is the ability to move on with grace.
The Lung and Large Intestine are the organs associated with Metal and Autumn and relate to grief, loss and the ability to let go of what no longer serves us. We are moving through very challenging times and the sense of grief and loss may seem especially profound both for individuals and for the collective. Many of us have lost our sense of alignment with the flow of energy as we had come to know it. We may have experienced a sense of “disconnect’ or powerlessness. It’s important for us to acknowledge these feelings of grief and loss so that we can release them to make space for nurturance of new possibilities. While this is often challenging, our Acutonics frequencies provide the support that is needed to move forward.
The Lung energy is connected to grief, loss and melancholy. Grief is part of the Qi of the season: there is decay in nature, and a strong sense of letting go as nature prepares for new life.
The Large Intestine provides the foundation for releasing what is no longer useful, to let go of toxic energies. This aids in clearing space and energy for new potential to be expressed
The archetype of the Metal element, the Alchemist, is one who transforms and distils the baser vibrations into more refined expressions of energy. The “separation of the pure from the impure”. This alchemical energy assists us in decerning what is the most useful in our lives and releasing what does not serve us or holds us back. Autumn helps to return us to our essence, to eliminate what we no longer need, and to bring clarity to what is most precious in our lives. It is said that the Po, the spirit of the Lungs, guides us to appreciate our life’s treasures, the things we hold most precious and the abundance we experience with our senses.
Here are some suggestions to inspire your treatments in support of the Metal element.
The Ren Extraordinary Vessel nourishes the Yin and provides consolidation and support. Its opening point is LU7 an important point for grounding the energy of the Lung. Intervals could include New Moon 5th to open and gain deep access, Mercury/Full Moon to nourish Lung yin (or Mercury/Earth Day to tonify Lung Qi), Mercury/Chiron to provide healing for grief and loss.
The YinWei Vessel relates to images and feelings attached to memories. Treating this Vessel can aid in releasing painful memories and feelings of loss.
The New Moon 5th can be used to open and allow flow. Jupiter/Neptune could be used to expand the flow of the heart field followed by Chiron/Nibiru for healing and creating a new matrix. If you have Hygiea forks, Hygiea/Nibiru can create a multidimensional matrix
Other points that could be included in balancing the Lung/Large Intestine:
LU 9 (Great Abyss)—Source point of the Lung. Mercury/Earth Day or Mercury/Chiron. Combine with LU 1 (Central Treasury). Mercury on LU 1 and Earth Day or Chiron on LU 9.
UB 13 (Lung Shu)—Mercury/Earth Day for tonifying lung Qi, Mercury/Full Moon for supporting Lung Yin or Mercury/Chiron for healing grief.
ST 25 (Celestial Pivot)—Pluto/New Moon to open and allow release both emotionally and physically. Pluto/Chiron to heal physical manifestations in the Large Intestine (IBS, colitis)
High frequency Mercury/Chiron, Mercury/Hygiea, Mercury/Nibiru forks can be added to heal the Field and aid in multidimensional healing and creating a new matrix for collective and individual healing.
