Autum Equinox

Today is the autumn equinox

The dark night equals the light of day as Yang retreats & gathers into Yin

Traditionally a time of fasting, internal observation, shedding impurities and aiming for clarity.

An appropriate time to listen to Zhuang Zi's guidance on fasting:

"Unify your will!

Listen with the heart-mind rather than your ears.

Further, listen with the Qi rather than the heart-mind.

For the ears stop at what they hear.

The heart-mind stops at whatever matches its preconceptions. but the Qi is empty, a waiting for the presence of whatever thing may come. the course is the gathering of that empty openness. that empty openness is the fasting of the heart-mind."

(Zhuang Zi chapter 4)

In tomorrow's class we'll listen with empty openness to the qualities of autumn & the metal phase
