🍁 STRENGTH FROM WITHIN: CULTIVATING INNER RESILIENCE
As the air cools and the leaves begin to fall, nature reminds us to slow down and turn inward. 🍂
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn is the season of the Lungs and Large Intestine — organs that help us draw in nourishment, release what we no longer need, and protect the body’s boundaries.
When Lung energy is strong, we breathe deeply, feel clear-minded, and move through life with vitality and calm. 🌬️
Now is the perfect time to nurture your body’s Wei Qi — your natural, protective energy that keeps you grounded and resilient through seasonal change.
🌿 HOW ACUPUNCTURE SUPPORTS IMMUNE STRENGTH
Regular acupuncture this time of year can help you:
✨ Boost circulation and lymph flow
✨ Reduce inflammation and tension
✨ Strengthen digestion and energy
✨ Support deeper, more restorative sleep
Each treatment at Stillpoint Acupuncture & Healing Arts this month is designed to support the Lung–Metal element, helping you release what’s heavy and invite clarity, balance, and strength.
🧘♂️ QIGONG PRACTICE: “GATHERING PROTECTIVE QI”
Try this gentle 3-minute practice to center your energy each morning 🌞
1️⃣ Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart.
2️⃣ Inhale slowly as you open your arms wide, imagining you’re gathering clean, bright energy into your chest.
3️⃣ Exhale as you bring your hands down in front of your body, picturing a soft golden light surrounding you like a gentle shield.
4️⃣ Repeat 6–9 times with calm, steady breathing.
💫 This practice supports the lungs, relaxes the nervous system, and builds a deep sense of protection and peace.
🥣 AUTUMN SELF-CARE & NUTRITION TIPS
🍠 Eat for Warmth & Strength: Include root vegetables, ginger, garlic, and lightly cooked greens.
🌬️ Breathe Mindfully: Inhale for 4 counts, exhale for 6 — a simple rhythm to steady the body and calm the mind.
🌙 Align with Nature’s Rhythm: Go to bed earlier; honor your body’s need for rest and reflection.
🍃 Let Go: The Metal element teaches us to release — declutter your space, breathe out what feels heavy, and make room for new inspiration.

💬 A NOTE FROM ERAN
“Autumn reminds us that true strength is not about resistance — it’s about letting go.
When we align our breath, body, and intention, we cultivate resilience that radiates from within.”
