Wintering…

Hello Lovely.

I hope you are amazing today!

Winter is a lovely time to begin to reflect and nourish the seeds of the women we are becoming next.

How does it feel to know that there's nothing you need to do to connect with the magical energy of Wintering.

We are still in a Yin time of Year where the energy is about stillness, replenish and recharge, receptive receiving time of the Year.

"DOING" anything as it will interfere with the potency of the energy present right now.

Did you know that in a Woman's Cycle of life, Winter is the post Menopausal Years, or the time of Menstruation.

A time when we are fully in our Wild ness, a time for really listening and tapping into our inner Wisdom.

This isn't a time to look outside ourselves for answers, but to cultivate and trust the Wisdom of our own heart.

Wintering;

You may think yourself lazy or flawed.

Yet your body is made of almost exactly the same elements as the stars. 

Your bone composition matches the coral in the seas and you, my friend, are ruled by the moon and the sun. 

Whether you like it or not. So no, you are not lazy, Nature is simply pulling you to slow, like the life, the floral and fauna around you. 

It is not your moment to rise. 

It is winter, you are wintering. 

And you are right on time.

Donna Ashworth.

If you're anything like me, the energy swirling around right now might make you want to cuddle up with a blanket, a book or Netflix, and stay home with some yummy comfort food.

Do It!

Be gentle with yourself during this dark wintering time.

The element of water can make us emotional and a little weepy and extra sensitive as the element of water corresponds to the emotions, and also replenishment.

Why is it so important to get into nature's rhythmic flow?

Because when you align with the energies of nature, you come into harmony with the life force itself.

Super powerful for manifesting and visioning! So here are a few prompts to begin to vision your dreams for 2023.

Enter ~ Geranium ~ The Oil of Love & Trust.

“My gift to you is equilibrium”

Affirm” I open myself to give love and receive love”

Geranium works her magic for dissolving negative emotion

Geranium can be used for chakra balancing, to restore the equilibrium between male and female energies. She wraps you in a bubble of love, reminding you of your specialness.

She dispels doom and gloom and can help to overcome apprehension. 

Geranium helps the mind to focus and centre at times when it is overwhelmed with pressure and the sense of 'too much on my mind' and gently guides awareness to the heart. 

Geranium helps switching gears so we can take a moment to appreciate and smell the flowers on the way.

Ritual.

Visualise the flower of geranium in your heart centre. 

Inhale the oil and imagine the flower slowly expanding, until it covers your upper torso. 

Sense the pink petals expanding to touch every cell in your body, feeding and nourishing them with love. 

With each inhale of geranium feel greater waves of love washing over you.

As you fill up with love, be reminded to give generously of love.
