Clarity is silence
between two thoughts.
đȘ The metal element & the power of the border
In TCM, metal is the element of Structure and demarcation.
Its energy separates the pure from the impure, the essential from the superfluous.
The lungs and the skin - our outermost boundary - belong to the metal.
You decide what can go in - and what stays out.
If you're too permeable, you'll easily lose strength.
Those who draw too hard a line are isolated.
The art lies in the conscious YES - and clear NO.
â ïž When metal is weakened:
- you quickly feel drained by others
- You have a hard time saying ânoâ
- strongly absorb the emotions or energies of others
- withdraw without clearing your mind internally
- have the feeling of losing yourself
đż TCM tips for inner clarity & gentle demarcation
âš 1st morning ritual with breath & intention
