Manage episode 390455270 series 3485297
Are you living in sync with nature's rhythm, or are you letting today's fast-paced world dictate your lifestyle even during the winter pause? In our discussion of Daoist medical theory, we unravel the necessity of slowing down and conserving energy during the deep midwinter to improve our wellbeing and that of our planet. The first part of our episode explores the profound impact of aligning our lives with the winter's hush. We delve into the role of yin energy in recovery and restoration, and the connection between the water element and our kidney and bladder health during this cold season.
In the second half of our show, we share practical advice to keep you nourished and healthy as the temperature dips. You'll learn about the importance of dressing warmly, practicing relaxing exercises like chi gong meditation, and increasing dream practices for deep inner work. We also touch on the benefits of meditation during winter and the ancient Chinese tradition of avoiding travel during this season. By the end, you'll appreciate the wisdom nature offers, seeing winter not just as a time of cold and darkness, but as a vital season for self-reflection, deep nourishment, and strength cultivation. Join us for this insightful conversation filled with practical insights and wisdom.
