Craving sugar?

Sweet boosts Stomach function, and is usually a sign that your digestive system needs some extra TLC. Listen to your body. Are you using the bathroom regularly? If not, are these the times when that chocolate craving just won’t go away?

What if you were to honour your craving?

Snack on some fresh or dried fruit or stir a spoonful of honey into your tea. For something more substantial, bake pears or apples with honey, cinnamon, and walnuts. Of course, indulging every so often isn’t all that bad. Feel free to have chocolate when you just can’t resist. But when you do, imagine it going right where it needs to go—to give your digestive system a much-needed boost.

Craving salt?

Salt stimulates Kidney function, which is tied to the body’s energy reserves. Think about the times you normally crave crisps. Is it usually late at night? When you’re running low on energy, salt is a go-to.

What if you were to honour your craving?

Snack on salted nuts, wasabi peas, or seaweed crackers. If you crave salt throughout the day, add more seafood to your diet to give your Kidney energy a boost.

And remember: the best remedy for being low on energy is to recharge your batteries. Get lots of sleep and try to lighten your daily load.

We made it through the darkest part of the year! It gets lighter from here on in!

While the birds, bears, and trees have worked out how to manage less sunlight and colder temperatures, humans still push along. And all of this pushing leaves us feeling tired, anxious, and sometimes even sad.

But the winter blues are nothing to fear—they’re simply the body’s way of communicating. The body is giving you hints so you can step in and make some positive changes.

The Kidney is dominant at this time of year, and its sensory organ is the ears. To support your Kidney from the inside-out, wear a hat that covers your ears. Once inside, rub your ears with the palms of your hands until they are red and warm to the touch.

Wishing you a peaceful start to the week 🕊️

The coldest season of the year asks us to turn inward and rest, rest, rest. But rest doesn’t just involve getting a good night’s sleep; it engages every part of your being. Give yourself permission to lighten your load by letting go of what can wait and saying “no” without guilt. And remember to lighten up on your diet by eating warming foods, such as soups and sauteed vegetables. This simple shift allows your digestive system to rest, so the body doesn’t need to work so hard to process the foods you eat.

The way you live your life determines the state of your health. If you take care of your body and save your energy throughout your life, you will likely enjoy good health as you age.

Cold is the first enemy, and the most important pathogen we must avoid. Without cold essence, your body is able to maintain balance and function properly. If you have cold essence, your body will not be able to function as intended; in other words, if your body is at a certain level of cold, it will stay at the lowest level of functioning. You’ll never have the chance to allow yourself to heal and repair.
