October 2011: Joyfully Engaging Life and Loss

Fall is here. Trees are shedding their leaves and I’m delighting in the beautiful patterns of red, orange, yellow and lime green that the fairies have painted on them. Winter squashes and storage beans are ripening in the garden as an abundance of other vegetables are being harvested. Soon the garden will be dying back. The plant material that isn’t edible will be composted to enrich next year’s garden soils. It is a time of loss, letting go and the potential for new growth as we experience the ebb and flow of life.

Joyfully Engaging Life and Loss

Personally, I’m experiencing even more rapid spiritual expansion while needing to incorporate more grounded action into our business practices. And in addition to being the “mom” of an elder dog and an elder cat, I’m also now the “mom” of a rambunctious six-month-old Golden Retriever puppy. I only had 2 days to make this shift! Tuesday Smokey, elder dog, asked for another dog to train. Wednesday a friend told me she had found this puppy on Monday. Thursday Aspen, puppy, came to live with us. With all of this happening at once, chaos broke loose, shaking up my familiar self-image. All of the fun and wildly abundant potential are tinged with grief as I am letting go of long held beliefs and ways of being. The Lung and Large Intestine Organ Energy Meridian Blends – that work with grief, flexibility and letting go of old self images – are wonderful allies during this time, as is Echinacea Flower Essence, one of the key essences in both blends.

Echinacea Flower Essence

Echinacea is native to the central region of the United States. It was a valuable herb for many indigenous peoples and is still widely used today to support the immune system and fight off viral and bacterial infections.

On the flower essence level, Echinacea breaks up whatever is holding you back and impulses letting go of old self-images that stagnate your energies and create dis-ease. It supports transitioning to new ways of being as you interface with your daily world.

As Echinacea Flower Essence says of itself:

I AM melting away of old self-images to reveal the wealth that is your true Self.

Metal Element (Air): Fall

Metal is forged from rocks and stones, the minerals of the Earth. As rocks/metals form the structure and strength of mountains, riverbanks, and skyscrapers so does the metal element rule structure and strength on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels for humans. As metal wire forms the basis of telecommunications, so does the metal system in the body rule the peripheral nervous system and communication between bodily systems. As air, these organ systems breathe in spiritual energies and oxygen through the lungs and skin to sustain the flow of operations in the body. Metal (air) rules excretion from the body – carbon dioxide through the lungs, waste through the large intestine and skin. The season of the metal (air) element is fall and the colors are white/grey.

Lung Organ Energy Meridian Essence Blend

The lung organ energy system (lung system) is the yin to the large intestine’s yang. It is the organ most connected to the spiritual energies accessed through breathing, prana. Its focus is to rhythmically breath in and out, to oxygenate the body and release carbon dioxide, to support you during low emotional moments and inspire you to fully engage life. The lung meridian is most active from 3am to 5am.

Symptoms: Use Lung Organ Energy Meridian (OEM) Essence Blend when you frequently experience shallow breathing, lung congestion, pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma or colds. Sadness, grief, loss, rejection, abandonment, depression, longing and sense of emptiness are emotional symptoms of Lung imbalance that may lead structurally to a contracted, caved-in chest. A person with Lung system imbalance often has difficulty breathing in the energy of life prana – and exhaling to fully engage life.

Action: The Lung OEM Blend works through the energy circuits that surround the physical lungs and the meridian that feeds spiritual energy to them. This blend aligns you with the rhythmic order of life, breath. It supports flow through the peripheral nervous system as you engage the ebb and flow of life and loss with ease. Structurally, it encourages your chest to expand as, emotionally, you experience acceptance for your unique self. You begin to recognize your brilliance, your self worth and to share your true self with joy.

Large Intestine Organ Energy Meridian Essence Blend

The large intestine organ energy system (large intestine system) is the yang to the lung’s yin. The symptoms listed below are the embodied expression of grief, loss, guilt, emotional and mental stagnation, or inability to flow with life. The meridian is most active from 5am to 7am.
