At the foundation of Acupuncture is the concept of yin and yang. ☯️ Commonly, yin and yang are thought of as opposites, but actually, they are two halves of one whole. Everything has a yin aspect and a yang aspect.
Take the seasons, for example. Summer and winter are opposites in a way, but they also compliment each other and bring balance. ☀️❄️
Here in the Okanagan, we just had our first few snowfalls! Naturally, we do things to prepare ourselves for winter, but sometimes, we need a reminder to allow ourselves to slow down and rest.
Winter is the time of year to embrace the Yin aspect of ourselves 🌛
Going to bed earlier 😴, eating warm home-cooked meals 🍲, reading 📚, meditating 🧘, and gentle exercise are all ways we can add more yin into a busy lifestyle.
❄️ What are some of the ways you already make more room for yin at this time of year? ❄️
