Ascending Yin A Metal Phase & Autumn Qigong Workshop

This workshop was originally streamed live on Zoom in October 2021.

Autumn is a time for appreciation and nourishment of our spirits. Autumn is also the yin to spring's yang. If spring is nature's time for growth and expansion, autumn is its time to cut back and consolidate. As the days grow shorter and cooler, earth slows down and prepares to rest. For some people this is a relief, yet for others, the expansiveness of spring and summer come far more easily. Viewed through the lens of qigong and the Chinese Five Elements, however, each part of the seasonal turn is essential to maintaining harmony in nature.

In this workshop we explore the qualities of metal and its associated season of autumn through qigong practices that support and strengthen our metal organs of the lungs and large intestine. A short talk is followed by an active qigong forms and a breathing, meditation and visualisation practice to finish.
