Episode 256: Explore the Winter Solstice

For episode 256, we are taking a look at the longest night of the year, as those of us in the Northern Hemisphere observe the Winter Solstice. From a feng shui perspective, the winter is considered a yin season, where we start to move inward physically as well as emotionally. The yin concept is also about slowing down, and emptiness, making winter the perfect time for introspection and self-reflection.

Discussed in the episode:

  • How everything in the universe is made up of both yin and yang energy, as interdependent primordial forces in opposition

  • The cool, quiet stillness of water qi

  • Why this time of year is a good time to cultivate water energy and qi

  • How we can celebrate and recognize the winter solstice, becoming more aware of the yin and yang energy

And much more.
