Winter!
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Winter is associated with the Water element. The kidneys and bladder are the element most affected by winter.
The emotion associated with the Kidneys is fear. Fear is often deeply rooted and we may not be consciously aware of it. When there is a deficiency in the water energy, fear can manifest into chronic anxiety. Restoring the kidneys can help relieve feelings of fear and anxiety.
Its important to stay Happy and Healthy this winter -
Take time to Listen and Recharge: Use this time to rediscover more about yourself through reflection.
Nourish yourself well: Drink plenty of water. Winter sucks moisture out of your body. Eat warming foods.
Keep warm: Dress according to the weather, protect the neck, shoulders and back from the wind.
Get more Rest: Winter is the time for us to recharge and in order to do so, go to bed earlier in the evenings.
Practice Fluid Movement: Tai chi, qigong, yoga, you will become more centered, aware of your breathing and aware of what’s going on within yourself.
Do you find the fear is getting in the way of living your life, is it creating hopelessness and lack inner peace, please reach out if this is something you need help with.
