It's October. The days are now shorter than they've been in quite awhile. We are about to turn the clocks back and welcome even earlier nightfall. The earth's yang energy is moving inward. Our tai qi and yoga practices are becoming deeper and more internal. Our meditations are plunging into the depths. The cool crisp air and the autumn winds are here, and they are very drying in nature. We are craving more sleep, as well as more nourishing and warmer foods which also cleanse the Lung and Large Intestine.
