The Wisdom of Winter

From the email newsletter Yoga Journal, an excerpt on allowing ourselves to slow down rather than speed up this holiday season…

Today, in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year and the advent of the dreaming days of winter. A day that reminds us that Mother Nature intends for us to rest, relax, rejuvenate.

The true gift of the Winter Solstice is a call to slow down and collect our energy in readiness for the bigger, brighter things to come – the opportunity to slumber, to dream — all in preparation for the growth and change that is to occur in our lives when spring makes its high voltage appearance in our lives.
