In Chinese Medicine the season of Autumn is associated with our Lungs. Autumn teaches us the art of “letting go” and how to embrace positive or negative changes in one’s life.

How many times have you felt guilt or shame because you felt your life was not in balance? Have you ever felt bad for working while wishing you were at home with your family?

When I think of ease, inner peace comes to mind. How do we cultivate a feeling of inner peace when the world around us can feel so busy, chaotic, and uncertain? I truly believe the answer is mindfulness. This can feel like an abstract concept – so what does mindfulness mean?
