Metal: Shine on you crazy diamond

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on November 13, 2022 by Dr. Sarita CoxNovember 17, 2022

Shine on you crazy diamond! Allow your inner light to shine through as we move into days of diminishing daylight. Our moods may change with less light.  Diamonds form from elemental carbon between 237,000 – 1.3 million times atmospheric pressure deep within the earth.  Carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the universe according to mass.

Look for circles today, but more importantly, reflect on what makes you whole.

Some are physical while others are psychological and spiritual.  The metal element, which peaks during the autumn season, governs the LUNGS as well … Continue reading →
