The transition from Summer into Fall can be the trickiest for our health. It is an important time to
bolster our immune system and prepare our heart and mind for the dark of the year.
An Equinox is the time of year when day and night are equal. The autumnal equinox marks the
harvest season, when the nights begin to grow longer. Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches that
the lungs and immune system are vulnerable during this change. Our insights, introspection and
discernment can be enhanced — but old sadness, grief and being judgmental can all intensify.
We’ll honor the season with gratitude, while protecting ourselves from S.A.D. (Seasonal
Affective Disorder), that can arise in this quieter time.
We’ll touch on techniques from Qigong, Psychotherapy, and Yoga to protect our health and
harmonize our mood.
Along the way, discuss helpful teas, and use a movement technique and a bit of Tai Chi to better
our balance.

the miraculous and scientific. She has been a healer her whole life.
