CHINESE MEDICINE & AYURVEDA WISDOM FOR WINTER: The kidneys are the yin of yin, housing essence and our vital energy▪️ TCM wisdom reminds us that Winter is the season of the Kidneys and Urinary Bladder which need to be nourished and strengthened through rest, slowing down, and inward reflection▪️This yin yang ☯️ pair work together but can easily be warn out or drained by excessive yang activities: too much eating, too much sex, too much stress, too much work.▪️ It is important to honor yourself during this introspective time ▪️Like much of nature, winter is time to hibernate physically and mentally, allowing a deeper connection within and with Spirit ▪️ Slow down, stay warm inside and out, and settle into nourishing, reflective routines ▪️The kidneys store our vital essence and when that gets depleted by excessive living, the aging process accelerates ▪️ The kidneys hold on to the emotions related to fear and chronic stress related to trauma and accidents • The process of releasing fear is always easier said than done, especially as we heal through unresolved physical, mental, and emotional patterns ▪️Find holistic support if you find yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally challenged. . . #acupuncture #acupuncturesecrets #chinesemedicine #tcmlife #kidneys #urinarybladder #slowdown #ayurveda #ayurvedalife #holistichealth #holistic #holisticmindset #natureheals #winter #winterwisdom #yoga #yogamom #yogateacher #meditate #selfcare #introspection .
