Hot Shiatsu Elements: Metal


 Contributed by Sarah
METAL
The first element I learned (and as it turns out is very much related to my personality) is Metal. I chose to start off with this element not only because of its significance to me personally, but also the fact that the season it is associated with is Autumn. The meridians associated with Metal are Lung and Large Intestine.

Characteristics of a Metal Type (according to The Swedish Institute Shiatsu Workbook):

Body Type:   
Walks Deliberately
Strong Voice
Erect
Light, Clear, Dry Skin
Oval face
Broad shoulders
Strongly built body

Personality:
Independent
Meticulous
Rational
Well-organized
Likes ceremony/discipline
Reserved

Meridians:
Lung and Large Intestine
