Winter's long, slumbering nights and extra hours of darkness invite a slower pace and incline us toward hibernation.  We wonder if we will ever see the sun again as we drift in to the dreamy world of lucid-blue light.  When we embrace the silent, still qualities of the winter season,  we are transported to the world of our inner mind and heart and imagination. We may feel more tired and crave more food.   Is something wrong? Are we depressed?  No, we are simply experiencing the natural cycle of the winter season.  We have begun an inward journey of self discovery and rejuvenation.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, Winter is the season of the Water Element.  A time of reflection, as if we are looking into a still pool of water and seeing the image of our inner, authentic self;  the self that only we truly know.  This is the season to reflect back upon the previous year and to look forward to the new beginnings of spring.  What lessons have we learned?  What goals and dreams do we want to manifest?

                                 

So, this winter season make a choice to embrace the quiet, meditative mind.  Allow creative energy to flow from the quiet stillness.  whether you take a hot bath, enjoy natural hot springs, or play in the snow, allow the soothing nature of water to wash over your mind and your body and clarify your heart and your intentions for the coming year.
                                      Be well...
