Minor Snow ❄️

A Quiet Season of Storing & Nourishing**

From Nov 22 to Dec 6, Minor Snow marks the true beginning of winter’s “closing and storing” phase.
Nature seals itself—frozen rivers, frozen soil—to keep warmth inside.
Our bodies mirror this rhythm.

Where do we store energy?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, our reserves sit in the Kidney system.
This is the season to warm, seal, and nourish.

✨ Kidney-Nourishing Winter Soup / Congee

Ingredients:
Chestnuts, almonds, goji berries, dried tangerine peel
(You can add grains to cook as a congee.)

Benefits:
• Warms Kidney Yang
• Nourishes Yin
• Moistens the Lungs
• Strengthens the Spleen
• Gently restores winter energy

A warm bowl a day helps the body store what it needs for the cold season.
Slow down, seal in warmth, and let your energy return. ❄️🖤

立冬 | Beginning of Winter

“Li D**g” — the Start of Winter
In The Seventy-two Seasonal Divisions, it says:

“Li means beginning; D**g means end. It’s the time when all things return to stillness and rest.”

From today, winter officially begins.
The world enters a state of preservation —
waters freeze, plants wither, animals hibernate.

🌿 As nature begins to rest, so should we.
It’s time to slow down, to live with less desire, less consumption, and less noise.

In The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic, it says:

“During the three months of winter, one should restrain desires, keep calm and quiet, conserving energy within.”

Desires drain our inner vitality.
When we simplify our wants and quiet our impulses,
we begin to feel a deeper sense of peace and abundance.

In many parts of China, people speak of “māo dōng”— literally “to curl up for winter.”
Go to bed early, wake up late with the sun.
Sleep more, think less. Eat simply.
Align your rhythm with nature’s.

🌙 Only by conserving energy can we glow from within

Restorative Guidelines for Qi and Shen Deficiency

Individuals with Qi and Shen deficiency often experience fatigue, mental fog, emotional instability, and heightened sensitivity to stimuli.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the key to restoration is conservation and inward gathering, rather than stimulation or dispersal.

✅ Recommended practices to support energy recovery:
• Simplify daily routines and reduce workload
• Eat lighter meals in the evening
• Prioritize rest and early bedtime
• Minimize overthinking and emotional consumption
• Increase time in natural environments
• Practice solitude and quiet sitting
• Engage in gentle, centering movement (e.g. Tai Chi, Zhan Zhuang, Yin Yoga)

❌ Practices to avoid due to energy depletion:
• Staying up late and sleep deprivation
• Overconsumption of spicy, oily, or greasy foods
• Excessive screen time (phone, computer)
• Prolonged social interactions or digital communication
• Mental overstimulation and emotional arousal
• Intense physical workouts or endurance training
• Hot yoga, sauna, or heat-based therapies

Healing requires containment.
In a world that encourages constant output, learn to honor the cycles of stillness and deep replenishment.

Dullness is not weakness. It is a strength in disguise.
To be selectively dull - toward things that disturb your peace, that drain your energy, that do not serve your growth - is to possess emotional mastery.
Like flipping through a page without getting stuck, we pass over harmful thoughts and judgments with no ripple in the heart.
This is not numbness, but a focused mind pulling itself out of the chaos -
and back into presence, clarity, and inner power

What is Qi (氣)?
Qi is the invisible force that powers everything within us - not just our physical body, but also our emotions and thoughts.

In classical Chinese medicine, Qi is the bridge between the body and the mind.
When Qi is strong and flows freely, we feel calm, energized, and whole.
But when it’s weak or blocked, we feel tired, anxious, or stuck.

Modern life often disrupts our Qi through stress, overthinking, and emotional suppression.
That’s why daily breathing, mindful movement, and emotional awareness are essential.

When Qi flows, life flows. When Qi is disturbed, everything feels off.

Take a moment today to feel your breath. That is Qi in motion - your own life energy.
