Musing…
“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”––Lao Tzu
Kate’s Turn:
Rest is a vital aspect of healing, of a healthy lifestyle. Our cultural norm is to produce, to work, to be in the yang energy of output. When this is imbalanced, it can often stress and take a toll on our well-being. The doctor’s familiar advice for feeling ill, after all, is to rest. Don’t wait until you get sick. Embrace your winter yin energy.
Winter is nature’s example of rest in the cycle of growth. Mother Earth quiets herself and takes pause under the blanket of snow. It is the yin, the receiving aspect in the balance of yin-yang energy. Quieting our external ‘doing’ can give our internal ‘being’ an opportunity to restore and renew. Focusing our attention on our inner nourishment, in good time, will naturally lead to further creative expression. This time of rest can offer a fresh perspective, a new idea, a renewed vision. No need to hurry. Trust in the roots of your creative nature.
“Maybe you are searching among the branches for what only appears in the roots.”––Rumi
Get Fired Up:
Snuggle under a blanket and embrace winter’s gift; restore your core (your creative nature ) with rest and reflection.
Place the fruits of your quiet time on a vision board for later activation…everything will be accomplished.
“The end of all of our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”––T.S.Eliot
