Welcome to autumn! The shift into the Metal element is already underway so I’m touching base with some tips for making the most of the energetics of this season.

This is not normally the time of year that I would be writing about colds and flus, but this year is different: Because we spent the past year masked and distanced, many of us went through a long period of not having any colds or flus. Fortunately, COVID-19 cases are down now, but because people are beginning to be out and about again, interacting more closely with others, other colds and flus are spreading. So, I wanted to go over self-care practices that are integral to my approach to colds and flus, and are also practical tips should you find yourself getting sick.
