The Art of Letting Go: Fall, The Metal Element and Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga Podcast - A podcast by Nyk Danu - Vineri
S.3 | EP. 3Fall and The Metal Element: An OverviewAs we start transitioning into fall, it’s a time linked deeply with the metal element in TCM. Fall marks a shift from the extroverted, yang energy of summer to a more introverted, yin phase.In both TCM and Taoist thought, fall is a time for letting go and is connected to the emotion of grief. This grief could be as simple as missing summer or something deeper.Fall is my second favorite season, after spring. Although I adore fall’s colors and cozy sweaters, scarves, and boots I do grieve the reduction in daylight hours more than anything.
