Are you ready to support your lifestyle with nature’s rhythms and nurture your well-being? In the practice of Chinese medicine, the change of seasons is not just an external event but is also deeply connected to our internal energies. The Five Elements/Phases theory links each season with specific organs, energy pathways, and emotions, influencing our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Winter, known as the Water phase, is a time to foster the most essential aspects of our health: the bones, kidneys, and nervous system. By focusing attentively during the winter, we can forge a deep connection with our breath, blood, and bones, accessing deep-seated reserves of bravery and vitality.
