S1 • #5 The Metal Element •

  • Summary

  • The Metal element in Chinese Five Element theory symbolises refinement, release, and resilience. Linked to autumn’s energy of letting go, it aligns with the lungs and large intestine—organs of intake and release. Through reflection and gratitude, Metal guides us to embrace what’s valuable and let go of what no longer serves us.

    In the practice of a Tea Mind, the Metal element offers a powerful framework for cultivating clarity and gratitude. A simple gratitude tea routine can transform daily pauses into moments of mindfulness and renewal. As you steep your herbal infusion, reflect on life’s blessings. Let each sip centre your mind and awaken appreciation.

    Beyond the cup, Metal-inspired practices like decluttering, deep breathing, and journaling foster balance. Just as herbal infusions nourish the body with their simplicity and variety, the Metal element encourages us to nourish the soul by focusing on what truly matters.

    Rediscover the art of mindfulness and let the Metal element inspire a clearer, more connected way of living. How will you honour life’s precious gifts today?
