At the same time, it is the element of value and dignity, of clarity and of what remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cycle of the Five Phases, Metal arises from Earth and prepares the way for Water. After abundance, the movement turns inward. What has lost its value falls away and turns to compost. What is precious is condensed until only the essence remains: the hidden gold. This essence then sinks into Water and rests there like a seed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe encounter this movement everywhere in life: as we grow older, when a relationship ends, when someone dies or when we have to give up a dream. Metal is the ability to distinguish, to set boundaries and to recognize what truly matters. It is the element of value, dignity and truthfulness, and with every breath it connects us with Heaven. When this movement is disturbed, we cling to what has long passed, or we let go too soon. In balance, Metal becomes a source of clarity, dignity and truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe emotion of Metal is grief. Grief shows us that something mattered. The workbook explores how grief shows itself in body and breath, the quality of the small pause after the exhale, and the Po, the corporeal souls of the Lung, which carry the memory of the body and withdraw in times of loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its heart, this workbook is grief work in four phases: from grief that has been locked away, through the fog in which we can no longer see the way, until it slowly lifts, to letting go and moving on, carrying with us what we keep as our essence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach phase offers practical integration exercises, along with acupuncture points, an essential oil and a Bach flower to support you along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can use this workbook even if you are not grieving a recent loss. Grief has often been with us longer than we realize.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dao Sense","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60008879817029,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1014\/2344\/8389\/files\/Metal_The_Hidden_Gold_3.png?v=1793419182","url":"https:\/\/www.daosense.org\/en-nordic\/products\/the-metal-element-grief-letting-go","provider":"DaoSense","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
