We hope you’re finding a sense of rhythm throughout your days. The month is about to wrap up and December arrives soon, the last month of the year. The remaining days of 2025 usher in the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, and we slowly make our way back to longer days little by little. We’re considering the seasonal call toward inward care and simultaneously stirring outward connection. The phrase “opposites create balance” in Ayurvedic teachings applies to season, self, and all the ways we find nourishment. We can listen to signals that can support us … feeling light and airy, maybe even flighty or anxious? Perhaps skip the caffeine and choose an herbal tea instead, look for a bird or pet to observe, pull a blanket around you, and tune into your breath for a slow exhale … feeling lethargic, stuck, sleepy? Find some fresh air, move, wiggle, dance in the kitchen, hum or sing.
The directions are infinite, we contain a multitude of possibilities, and one of the most helpful things to remember is that at your core you’re whole, healthy, and complete, just as you are. This moment doesn’t have to be analyzed and audited, we can simply be, rather than become swirled up in the tasks of doing. And that doesn’t mean we drop all the ways we engage with the world around us - it can be a moment to moment reminder that the only experience we have is in the present.
We look forward to meeting you in the moments ahead, as the solstice brings us more light, as the year comes to a close, and the next year begins. Keep going, we’ll meet you there … moment by moment.
