Winter epitomizes Mother Earth's YIN cycle. The deciduous trees are bare as the leaves have fallen back to earth creating a blanket of warmth for the seeds and bulbs below. Visually the starkness creates more space to see the world around us with a different lens. The colors are muted, the skies grayer and cloudy. Film noire at it's finest. Now that the days are shorter and our energetic batteries are receiving less light... it's time to enter our caves. Winter energy invites us to go inward. To become contemplative as we dream and gather our "thought seeds" on what we choose to manifest for the coming year.It's all about the water element and if our deepest thoughts, and visualizations are either flowing and moving freely or are blocked and dammed. It makes sense that Winter's internal organs are the Urinary Bladder and Kidneys.
Don't be surprised if you're not feeling social during the holiday festivities and desire to be home and hibernate. You're actually following Mother Nature's advice.
Stay tuned as MOM will be posting recipes on nourishing foods that will sustain and support your winter energy.
