Fall is the Metal phase and respiratory / lung + large intestine phase. Breath work can really help nourish your lung qi — it strengthens respiratory function, cleanses the lungs, improves your protective “wei” qi (aka immunity) and also decreases general stagnation and stress in the body. These are all things you want to be doing to prevent illness and strengthen your immunity this fall! I’ll be sending out my full Lung Qi video routine in my newsletter later this month will an explanation of all these specific movements - but here’s a taste of some breathing exercises (qi gong) you can do at home to encourage your respiratory system to stay strong this season. Talking more about immunity tips - food and products - in stories this week as well! Love, Sarah 💗.

Broccoli rabe is one of my favorite bitter vegetables and I wanted to show it some love and mention exactly why it’s so wonderful &, I’ll even say, essential for us to eat bitter greens like these.
