Metal Element
Discernment + Inspiration
A Self Paced Retreat and Inner Journey
Welcome, my friend.
Together we will dive deep into the heart of Chinese Medicine, focusing on the potent Metal element, and it’s profound wisdom for discernment, clarity, and inspiration in our lives.
Let's dive into the force that is Metal Element.
My prayer is that this experience empowers you with a deep re-connection to your own soul and your inherent value. A sense of clarity and perspective, and the ability to access the innate Truth that infuses you.
Now join me, as I light a candle and pour you a cup of tea.
This is a self-paced journey.
Simply follow along and take one step at a time.
Step 2: Create a Sacred Space
Beauty is a bridge to the divine, and your physical environment is so important.
When you bring an experience like this virtual retreat into your five senses, it becomes anchored into your body. The medicine becomes more potent, and the effects are exponential. Take time to create a sacred sanctuary for yourself, and open yourself to a holy experience. Relax, I’ll walk you through step by step.
1. Choose a place where you can feel safe and protected. Space to feel whatever you need to feel.
2. You will need to gather some things… and the gathering is part of the beauty… really slow down as you gather these things and prepare for the evening. Turn on music, here’s my favorite playlist.
Gather
A journal and your favorite pen
3 (or more) items that you can touch feel -that bring delight to your eyes. These could be things that you find in your yard, around your house etc. Something beautiful or interesting that captures your attention visually.
Any metal item that you find beautiful.
One item that can be rolled out or used as a foundation of your alter space. It could be a fabric, a rug, a plate, a board or a tray… Even a napkin or a scarf.
Something to burn, a candle, incense etc.
If you have essential oils pick one intuitively, I’m loving mint oil and frankincense right now.
Wear something that is both comfortable and that aligns with your expression. It can be pajamas or it could be a beautiful piece that reminds you of your own beauty.
Prepare yourself a hot beverage or a pot of tea, something you can wrap your hands around, and warm your belly.
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF. If you are not able to gather a thing, it is ok! You are enough.
3. Arrange. This is a fluid unfolding process.
Lay out your foundation piece
Light your candle or incense
Pick up one piece that you would like to use as your focal point or center.
Arrange the rest of the items that you’ve gathered on this alter space in any design that is beautiful to you… just allow it to unfold.
Ask if anything is missing… Go get whatever you feel might be needed.
Step 3: Settle in and Begin
Although we will be in seemingly separate places in time and location, something magical happens when individuals come together and align our intentions with one another. We create an interwoven experience with the quantum fabric of the universe, with Source… and each other.
Physical and energetic integration
I can not emphasize enough that the body work/energy medicine component is so powerful and important. It empowers the shift from the changes in mind and into the physiology.
Consider returning to these practices daily (or more!) for this season. Energy Medicine is cumulative. gently editing the blueprint of your patterns, in your mind and your body.
Take note of how your body and feel before you begin this portion, and then again after.
What is different?

The Daily Energy Routine Flow.
These movements keep the subtle energy systems of your body humming in coherence, order and most importantly flow. This is vital for energy hygiene!
Setting aside a few minutes a day to practice any or all of these pactices or the Daily Energy Routine is invaluable. Just imagine, healing at the most fundamental level… the voltage that powers and instructs your entire body. It’s life changing.
