December newsletter

 

As we welcome the contemplative yin season of Winter, we assess where we came from and where we are now, to consciously direct where we are going. 

To support your year-end reflection & manifestation process, I integrated my favorite retrospective practices within a Chinese medicine Five Elements conceptual framework. Download here:

REFLECT + MANIFEST

REFLECT on the past year, reconnect with your Purpose, clarify your Visions, then MANIFEST your new year and each season with a clear Plan and aligned Actions.

Reflect & Manifest

 As we welcome the contemplative yin season of Winter, we assess where we came from and where we are now, to consciously direct where we are going.

To support your year-end reflection & manifestation process, I integrated my favorite retrospective practices within a Chinese medicine Five Elements conceptual framework. 

To facilitate seasonal reflections throughout the year, I created a similar template for your quarterly reflection & manifestation process. Get both here:

REFLECT & MANIFEST

REFLECT on the past year, reconnect with your Purpose, clarify your Visions, then MANIFEST your new year and each season with a clear Plan and aligned Actions. 

Enjoy! Happy holidays ❤️

Five Elements │ Wander & Wonder

 

Happy November!

As the winter oceanic swell grows, we are baking more, sleeping earlier, and starting to wrap up the year. How are you celebrating and experiencing the changing seasons?

ESALEN 2022 │ We just returned from our Five Elements of Yoga & Chinese Medicine weeklong retreat at the gorgeous Esalen Institute along the Big Sur coastline. The cliffside hot springs, delicious foods, beautiful community, smiling Milky Way, and deep wisdom from the land, waters, and her people nourished me deeply. I hope you can join us at Esalen, next year!

WANDER & WONDER │ In one of my favorite Five Elements of Chinese Medicine classes, I shared Wandering & Wondering, a process that roots & nourishes my life, and I hope will inspire you, as well.

Download my Five Elements Wonderings class handout here:

WONDERINGS

I invite you to:

• Open. Choose a question (or a couple). Focus on ONE element through the duration of your walk, or explore ALL elements in different sections of your walk.
• Wander. Bring these questions, your journal, and writing/ drawing tools. Allow yourself to meander without direction through a landscape.
• Wonder. Hold your question(s) lightly. Dialogue with the landscape of both your external and internal terrains.
• Sit. Notice a place that calls to you. Silently sit and observe both your external and internal environments. Free-write observations & insights.
• Thank this place before you continue wandering & wondering through other question(s), or close your journey.

May the gifts and changes of this season nourish you. May you open to wonder in moments both small and large. May you enjoy the loving embrace of your family, community, and our planet. Thank you for your presence on our Earth!

🍁October newsletter

 

As the days shorten, plants send their energy to their roots and go to seed, while deciduous trees shed their leaves. We cozy up in warmer clothes, and start storing up our food and energy reserves for the winter. In autumn, we transition from the more active yang seasons of spring and summer into the more restful yin seasons of autumn and winter. We too send our energies underground, sleeping and eating more, and moving and doing less. In autumn, we bundle, store, and prepare for the more fallow winter season ahead, when the world rests.

Soup is perfect for welcoming autumn! Enjoy warm nourishing soups medicinally loaded with a hearty Chinese herbal base. Slow-cook over the stovetop or in a crockpot with your favorite proteins and veggies...

Visit Mountain Rose Herbs for the rest of this article, to learn about some of my favorite Chinese medicinals to enrich nourishing stews!
