Restoring harmony

18/10/2025

As the season turns, nature begins to draw inward.

The air grows crisp, leaves drift down, and the world softens to a hush.

In Chinese medicine, these changes aren’t only happening around us — they’re happening within us too.

Autumn marks the shift from the expansive energy of summer to a more focused, reflective rhythm.

Metal and the Lungs
Autumn belongs to the Metal element, symbolising clarity, structure, and purpose.

It’s the energy of refinement — gathering what has been grown, keeping what is valuable, and letting go of what’s no longer needed, just as trees release their leaves to prepare for winter.

This element is linked to the Lungs and Large Intestine, the organs responsible for taking in what we need and releasing what we don’t.

Dryness often rises now, showing up as chapped lips, a sore or scratchy throat, rough skin, or slower bowel movements.

The wisdom of Autumn
Living in rhythm with the season can help steady the body and calm the mind as colder weather draws near.

✨ Adjust your routine and pace your days

✨ Keep warm — especially your neck and chest

✨ Choose moistening foods like soups, pears, and ginger

✨ Sip warm drinks like ginger or honey tea

✨ Make time to reflect — so you can carry only what makes you strong for winter

If you’ve been feeling the seasonal shift — a dip in energy, dryness, or the urge to slow down — your body may simply be responding to Autumn’s call to realign.

Book your Autumn Tune Up
This is a good time for a gentle acupuncture session or herbal support, helping your system adjust with ease and stay strong.



Stay well this season,

Just a quick heads up:
Today on the radio they were talking about Whatsapp Gold.
There's a video coming out tomorrow on Whatsapp called Martinelli. Don't open it. It gets into your phone and nothing you do can fix it.
Spread the word if you know anyone.
If you receive a message to update WhatsApp Gold * Don't open it!
They just announced that the hack is serious.
Send this to everyone.

Coming into autumn is an important time to work on your spleen.
This helps build immunity and is the mother of the lungs so will prepare you for the challenges of winter

Ground Your Day (Spleen)

Start with a warm breakfast to strengthen Spleen qi and set digestion on track:

✅ Porridge with pear, pumpkin, or cinnamon

✅ Eggs on toast

✅ Stewed apple stirred through yoghurt

👉 Even something simple like sourdough with nut butter is more grounding than grabbing a cold snack on the go.



🍵 Steady Snacks (Spleen → Stomach)

Choose foods that are easy to digest and won’t spike your energy:

✅ A boiled egg

✅ Oatcakes

✅ A banana

✅ A handful of nuts

✅ Roasted root veg

👉 Swap iced drinks for warm water or ginger tea — your digestion will thank you.



🍐 Support the Lung (Metal)

Autumn dryness calls for moistening, protective foods:

✅ Pears, honey, sesame, walnuts, and figs nourish the Lung

✅ Ginger and onion act as warming allies when colds begin circulating

✅ A quick stewed pear with ginger works as breakfast or a mid-clinic reset

👉 The pear-and-ginger stew is also a great recipe to pass on to patients — quick, nourishing, and perfectly seasonal.



🌬️ Breathe And Reset (Metal)

The Lung governs letting go:

✅ Between patients, one slow exhale can release the last treatment

✅ A pause like this helps you clear space before the next session

👉 These tiny rituals protect your presence and stop the day from feeling like a blur.



Try adding one or two of these into your week and see how your energy holds in clinic.

This quote by Confucius, "Rebellion is born when rulers forget they are meant to serve," emphasizes the idea that **effective leadership is rooted in service to the people.**

Here's a breakdown of its meaning:

* **Rulers are meant to serve:** Confucius believed that the primary duty of a ruler or anyone in a position of power is to look after the welfare and interests of those they govern. Leadership is not about personal gain or absolute authority, but about responsibility and dedication to the common good.
* **Forgetting this duty leads to rebellion:** When rulers become self-serving, oppressive, or neglectful of their people's needs, they lose legitimacy. This breakdown in trust and the suffering it causes can eventually lead to widespread discontent and, ultimately, rebellion. The people will rise up when they feel their leaders are no longer acting in their best interest.

In essence, the quote highlights a fundamental principle of good governance: **power comes with a responsibility to the people, and neglecting that responsibility invites resistance.**
