(2 min) Introduction to the Autumn Series
Autumn begins to change its colors at different times depending on the latitude and altitude of your city. Generally on September 22 the Autumn Equinox marks the beginning of the full descent of Yin. Now the days become shorter and nights become longer. This rapid change in temperature, light and atmosphere has a profound effect on our biology and psychology. By adjusting your lifestyle and attuning your energy to the season through Qigong, you can flow through this transition and enjoy its blessings.
The blessing of Autumn is that it supports our ability to let go.
