Autumn

Hello Autumn! My favorite season of all. The Chinese theory of the five seasons talks of 'Indian Summer' or late summer. After a cooler than usual Summer, we could well be in for an Indian Summer this year, which is not unknown in this area. The last one was in 1994. Nevertheless, the yang element is starting to wane or contract as we are heading towards winter. It is advisable to start to chill your body a little in preparation for winter and very important not to muffle your body in too many clothes, as this will leave us vulnerable to Wind Cold invasion as the weather cools. So strengthen yourself by drinking your warm honey lemon drinks and avoid overheating and you should see a healthy start to the cooler months!
PS Sorry. I haven't posted lately, motherhood has taken over (as usual) but now the kids are all settled I am back in the saddle.
