🍂 Autumn, Sadness & Release: Healing with Crystals and Breathwork

In Eastern philosophy, autumn belongs to the Metal Element, which is closely connected with the lungs and the emotion of sadness. This is why many people feel more emotional or heavy-hearted as the season changes. But autumn is also a season of release and renewal — just like falling leaves, it invites us to let go of what no longer serves us.

🌬 Breathwork for Release

Breathing is one of the simplest yet most powerful ways to balance the lung energy. Try this short practice:

1. Inhale slowly for 4 seconds, imagining fresh energy entering.

2. Hold for 2 seconds, allowing calmness to settle.

3. Exhale gently for 6–7 seconds, visualizing sadness or worries leaving your body.
   Repeat 5–7 rounds to feel lighter and calmer.

💎 Crystals for Emotional Healing in Autumn

Crystals carry natural vibrations that can support this emotional release:

• Clear Quartz 🤍 brings clarity and amplifies positive thoughts.

• Obsidian ⚫ protects your energy and helps release heavy emotions.

• Lapis Lazuli 🔵 soothes sadness and supports honest expression.

• Citrine 💛 uplifts the spirit, bringing warmth and optimism.

When combined with mindful breathing, these stones act as gentle companions for emotional balance.

✨ This autumn, give yourself permission to feel, to release, and to embrace peace.
