❄️ Happy Winter! The season that naturally signals the body to slow down and have inward time. Historically, we did.. Today, maybe not as much. Yet, the energies of Winter invite us to replenish with inward awareness.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Winter aligns with the "water' meridians of Kidney and Bladder — systems tied to deep vitality, fluid balance, and how we manage stress.
Modern physiology also links these themes to how our bodies conserve energy during colder, quieter months.
When Kidney and Bladder energies are supported, we are more grounded and fearless, less suspicious … making room for courage, grounded clarity, and stepping bravely into the unknown. 💙
While Winter is a great alignment time, supporting Kidney and Bladder meridians year around is also beneficial. The energy of these partners support our Bones, Fluids Balance and Teeth Health.
Ready for an easy and feel-good first step ?🦶🏻
Massage your feet… even if it’s just for a few minutes. Daily if you can. The toes also! Kidney and Bladder, as well as other meridians, begin or end on the toes and the bottom of the foot connects us to the ground. Your feet work hard for you. Give them a little ❤️. Along with supporting the meridians, you are supporting your connection to Earth.
Note: if your feet are sensitive, it might show a need for grounding and balancing the meridians of the feet.
Pregnant or have medical conditions involving your feet? Check with your healthcare provider first before massaging.
