Embracing Winter's Flow: A Season of Self-Discovery

“Within the silence of winter, I discovered an invincible summer.” - Albert Camus

I can't help but think about the transition from fall to winter. It's not just about the changing weather; it's a metaphorical shift from receiving to releasing information, a time to sit with what remains and what endures.

Winter, often seen as a season of cold and stillness, is actually a season of laying down a foundation.

It's not perfect, not complete, but it's where we start building. Think of it as the groundwork for what's to come. Over the winter season, it's crucial to ensure that this foundation is solid. We need to understand it, know what we're building on, and, most importantly, recognize who we are at our core.

Water, in its essence, seeks the lowest point.

Similarly, we should explore the deepest parts of our soul during this season. What struggles lie in that lowest point, and how can we help our inner selves navigate through them? It's a season of going with the flow and finding out who we really are, with love, grace, and ease.

I invite you to creatively contemplate during this winter season.

Dive into the silence within, explore the heart space, and tap into the pure emotion of who you are. It's understandable that sitting with ourselves can be scary; we fear the emotions and thoughts that might surface. But let's remember, we are much deeper than those passing things. Our true essence lies beneath the fear, waiting to be discovered.

Winter is not about being hard on yourself or struggling; it's about playfully coming into who you are.

Learning to flow within yourself is the key. And as spring approaches, that freedom of movement will naturally extend outward. The essence of who you are will begin to realize it's okay to come out, to grow, to change.

You can't be okay with who you are if you don't know what you're working with.

Understanding and questioning with grace and ease is the beauty of winter. It's an invitation to embrace your true self, to flow and move freely through the rhythms of life.

So, let's look at winter not with dread but with excitement.

It's an opportunity for self-discovery, a chance to unfold and grow. Remember, I appreciate you a lot, and I look forward to our continued journey.
