Today I am thrilled to have Chinese Medical Physician and my personal acupuncturist, Carolyn Barron, back on the show! She joins us to talk about Chinese medicine, the energy of seasonal shifts, and ways to support your chi and immune system during this season.

We are in autumn, which in Chinese medicine is the element of metal. This time is about letting go, releasing, and stripping down to what’s essential. If your energy and emotions have been feeling unsteady, Carolyn is here to explain why! She also reveals how the lungs and large intestine are being impacted and ways to care for ourselves, like foods and oils to incorporate. It’s the time of year to trade out your raw salads for a warm soup! You’ll also learn rituals that align with this season of letting go, like creating a devotional practice.

At the end, Carolyn leads us in a yummy Qigong meditation to support the lung energy and this season of purification.

***Our meditation begins at [33:01]!
