Metal Element II: Breath & Letting Go For The Autumn

This is a practice of aligning the body-mind with the energy of autumn/fall, connected in the Zen/Chinese energy system to the Lungs and Large Intestine. It starts with alternate nostril breathing to bring balance to the lungs, then focuses on the practice of letting go - which is very much what autumn is all about. The final part involves gathering energy into hara/belly then circulating it around the body using reverse/Taoist breathing to help stimulate the immune system and prepare for winter
