Athena Acupuncture & Wellness Center

From Summer to Fall. We are moving from the highest extroversion of energy to the beginning of the introversion of energy. Fall is a time that prepares us for the deepest introversion of energy aka Winter. ... Fall is a time to begin slowing things down. In TCM, we refer to Fall as "Yin within Yang." The Yin Principle in TCM is--Feminine, Rest, Space; the Yang Principle is-- Masculine, Activity, Time. Thus, Fall symbolizes the mixing and balance of both principles. As the days grow colder and shorter, so should our activity and diet. When we begin to move away from cold foods from the summer such as watermelon, ceviche; to warmer foods such as sweet potatoes, turkey; from summer parties to fall cuddling. In the West, our Fall season signifies the onset of flu season. But only because most of us don't know how to slow down with the season or shift our diet and activity. So this is a gentle reminder to begin to slow down and begin implementing your healthy protocols.
