I want to remind you we are still deep in the throws of this Ox year (2021) which comes with a powerful Chinese Element of METAL that shows up in a variety of ways. And we each experience differently. I want to share some of the ways this energy may be showing up for you and for those around you.

When you have an understanding of how it’s manifesting, you become more in tune with how you can best respond to it.

Years ago, I learned from a mentor—if you don’t like how you feel or know what to do to address how you feel — then just pick the opposite.

Feeling tired like you need to nap midday? Try going for a vigorous walk.

Feeling all wound up and overstimulated? Move into a quiet place where you can shut the lights off, mute sounds, and close your eyes.

You can’t get it wrong.

This speaks to the natural cycle of Yin and Yang, the need to seek balance and harmony.

When you “do the opposite” you swing the energy to the other extreme – the yang to the yin or yin to the yang – and it creates more balance.

Let’s take a look together at how Metal shows up with Yin Metal being a lower vibrational manifestation and Yang Metal being a higher vibration.

How do you see this year’s Metal element showing up in your life?

Are you experiencing more Yin or Yang Metal manifestations?

As you explore why it’s showing up this way, I hope you become more empowered to choose an action to create more balance between the Yin and Yang. If more Yin is showing up, what can you bring in that is “the opposite”?

Choose what you want more of on any given day, week, or month and let me know if it’s creating more balance for you.
