 WINTER BLEND

Winter is a time for shorter days, colder nights and the hibernation of many living plants, animals and people on the earth. Universal energy may be limited during this time, many find they lack the motivation and drive they once had during the warmer seasons. Therefore winter is a time for formulating ideas, planning and not always one of completion. The lessons learnt in the previous season of Autumn have allowed any negative behaviours, thought patterns and situations to fall away; making it the perfect time to give birth to new and positive ideas. During this time some may find they are softer in personality, tending to take external criticisms more or feel personally burdened by other’s narcissistic tendencies. The fragility of almost all living things during this season on earth means we too, will become more delicate. Traditional Chinese Medicine refers to winter as the embryo, where life is created, coddled even and special care must be taken to ensure it survives the cold months so it may flourish in the Spring. Being kind to yourself inside and out is paramount during this season. A season for being prone to both physical and psychological gentleness, surround yourself with comforting thoughts, food and people. Expecting too much of oneself in winter may lead to the unnecessary destruction of life force and addictive negative habits. The sustaining mental state of Winter is courage, however, under stress this emotion becomes fear. Limiting stress by feeding your body and soul with nourishing and warming food is encouraged. It is so important to put oneself first as all dangers real or imagined may take full force easily in an unbalanced mind or body. Protect yourself by nourishing your body, mind and soul this winter.
