Course description
Winter has a unique impact on individuals. Some find it a time of tranquility, satisfaction, and introspection, while others may experience common seasonal afflictions such as depression or Seasonal Affective Disorder, free-floating anxiety, sluggishness, susceptibility to colds and flu, arthritis, respiratory problems, and lower back pain. Many of these issues can be traced back to an imbalance in Water energy, a concept closely associated with the Kidneys and Bladder in Traditional Chinese Medicine’s Five Element Theory.
The Water element in TCM encompasses willpower, wisdom, reproduction, development, and your core energy. As the season’s energy descends and turns inward, it becomes a period for profound, rejuvenating rest.
In our enriching 1.75 hour live virtual session, you will gain invaluable insights into harmonizing your Water energy through nourishing foods and spiritual and lifestyle practices that you can seamlessly integrate into your daily routine. This session will empower you to navigate the winter season with renewed balance.
This class will cover:
- The TCM Water element constitution, and how to determine if your Water energy is imbalanced.
- Specific food and lifestyle suggestions to remedy the above common winter ailments.
- The importance of honouring the elements in nature and in your body to remain in alignment.
- The spiritual aspect of the Water element and how this is related to what you eat and how you live your life.
