A S T H E S E A S O N S L O W S…
On Sunday I hosted a wonderful Winter Retreat Day followed by my monthly Journey WithYin session, and was reminded of just how deeply our bodies feel this shift into the darker, quieter months.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, we’re stepping fully into the realm of the Water element — the season of the Kidneys & Bladder, the guardians of our deepest reserves.
We’re entering the most yin point in the year, a time when nature contracts, quiets, and chooses stillness.
And we all feel that pull too. The tug to slow down, move gently, warm ourselves by open fires and refill our inner wells. But just as our bodies whisper for us to rest, silly season arrives and life asks us to speed up!
The timelines get tighter, the lists get longer and the pressure builds. And this creates a real tension between what nature asks of us and what life expects of us. And it’s exactly why so many of us feel stretched, depleted or on the edge of overwhelm at this time of year.
This Sunday, I’m holding my final Sunday Slowdown of the year, dedicated to nourishing this Water season within you.
An hour online of:
✨ gentle movement
✨ calm, steady breathwork
✨ guided release + grounding visualisation
✨ deep, restorative rest
A soft reset for your nervous system, right before the final run towards Christmas.
As a small Christmas gift, this session is £10 (usually £13).
The link is in my bio if you already know you need this hour or comment ‘PAUSE’ & I’ll send it to you.
The season is slowing and your body is asking you to slow too - can you hear it?
Hope you can join me (7.45pm - 8.45pm, camera & mic off via zoom).
Jane 💗
