Take in the Heavenly Chi: 6 Simple Yet Powerful Tips for Thriving Through the Autumn Season

1. Metal energy is consolidating with inward movement, like a flower closing its petals. Be one with nature. It's okay to close your petals for awhile.
2. Metal’s motion is determined, forceful, strong, unyielding, self- reliant, reserved and sophisticated. Use these to your best advantage.
3. Metal is associated with the lungs, respiratory system and is related to the nose. Take in the heavenly Chi.
4. Both courage and sadness are emotions associated with this season. Allow yourself to weep when you feel to but also find the courage to face what's ahead. 
5. Metal represents the direction West (the direction of dreams and visions), the planet is Venus, and is symbolized by the White Tiger (one of the four spiritual creatures). Stand facing West and honor the "westness" of Autumn.
6. During this season's color represented by white, light white candles against the growing darkness of the season.
