Clarity is silence
between two thoughts.
🪙 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.
Those who are too permeable become ill.
Those who draw too hard a line are isolated.
The art lies in the conscious YES - and clear NO.
⚠️ When metal is weakened:
- you quickly feel drained by others
- can hardly say „no“
- strongly absorb the emotions or energies of others
- withdraw without clearing your mind internally
- have the feeling of losing yourself
🌿 TCM tips for inner clarity & gentle demarcation

It protects what is sacred to you.“
Boundaries are not walls - they are spaces for your true self.
