Finding Stillness

As the month draws to a close, give yourself permission to slow down.
Stillness is deeply restorative - it allows your body, mind, and spirit to realign.
In the rhythm of the seasons, rest isn’t indulgent, it’s essential.
Light a candle, take a slow breath, and let yourself simply be. 🌙

Nourish and Restore

As we approach winter, nature reminds us to conserve energy and seek warmth. 🍵
This is a time to enjoy soups, stews, and slow-cooked meals — foods that build strength from within.
In Chinese medicine, this gentle slowing down allows our Yin energy to replenish, preparing us for the stillness of winter, so we can nuture our energy and build strength for the coming year.🌾

Welcoming November’s Energy

As the air turns crisp and the days grow shorter, nature invites us to slow down and turn inward.
In Chinese medicine, autumn relates to the Lung, the organ that helps us take in inspiration and let go of what we no longer need.
Take a few mindful breaths today. With every exhale, release something that no longer serves you. 🌬️
