Winter is a season of hibernation and reflection. It is the period of stillness that comes after shedding and releasing. Nature itself goes dormant for autumn, bears hibernate and blankets of snow and frost and bring their own beauty and landscape. Hidden below the surface, everything still breathes.

In Winter we can take the opportunity to reflect, learn and grow so when spring comes we are ready to shoot into new growth and action.

Each season has its own energy and ways that we can interact with those natural rhythms. Living by the seasons can be done simply by focusing on your own energy, engaging in practices or reflecting on aspects of yourself that align with that season.

Winter is a time to reflect on your healing, facings fears, releasing old patterns, empowerment, working through past lives, meditations and learning or study.
