The final few months of the year often find us in a frantic state of high-energy activity. Yet instead of having fun, we often end up feeling ill, anxious, or... depressed. Acc. to Taoist philosophy/ Chinese medicine, the action-packed schedules we keep fall out of sync with the earths natural cycles. Taoist philosophy conceptualizes universal balance in terms of yin and yang, complementary forces that govern the universe. Yin characteristics are cool, wet, slow, feminine & quiet, whereas yang is the opposite: warm, dry, fast, masculine, extroverted. Winter, the yin season, is a time for storing and conserving energy in the way a bear retains fat by hibernating, or a farmer stores food for the cold months ahead. To stay balanced during winter, conserve your yang energy. Restorative yoga, tai chi, qigong, and walking are best suited for yin season, as they safeguard your energy reserves (Source: YJ) 14th Dec, a chance to experience, manifest & express some yin
