Hi Love,
We're in the heart of winter now, a time when the world asks us to turn inward, to tend to the most important thing: the seed that will grow our forest.
Spring will come. We will bloom, initiate, expand. But right now? Right now is for rooting down.
And the way we nourish ourselves in these winter months sets the foundation for everything that unfolds.
The Alchemy of Winter Balancing
In Ayurveda, winter accumulates Kapha, which brings the qualities, regulations and dysregulations found in earth and water. Kapha gives us strength, stability, and sweetness. But in excess, it brings heaviness, sluggishness, congestion, and that familiar winter lethargy.
The goal isn't to avoid Kapha. It's to start balancing with it, to be both strong and soft, sweet and stable.
In this seed-tending time, we can learn how fiber, fat, and bitter tastes can balance your blood sugar and Kapha, making you strong and soft, sweet and stable for spring's bloom.
