It's the time of transition from late summer to fall and for many this transition can be challenging both mentally and physically - resulting in energy feeling stuck or low and digestion struggling. In Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, there is a period of time between seasons in which the body readjusts. In today's practice we focus on grounding mind and body for stability during this transition as well as stimulating digestion. We work with the Spleen/Stomach meridians as well as the Lung/Large Intestine meridians to help the body smoothly transition from one season to another.
