Warmest Hugs and Deep Breaths from the Darkness of the Northern Winter

As we embrace a new cycle in the Gregorian calendar, may we also honor the feels of this cold season and stay rooted in our daily routines of connection and nourishment with self-care to water the seeds of our dreams with a fertile ground of balance and wellbeing.

The cellular matrix of our body knows what is real and true, and our heart is the compass that is guiding us through with wise discernment.

Commit to just 20 minutes, and you will continue to see the positive results from these baby steps.

This is a common time of year to feel like our practice isn't getting anywhere. Let go of your addiction to peak experience. Simplify, consolidate, and clarify your focus while honoring yourself with rest and good foods.

This new lunar Year of the Wood Snake is calling us deeper into what we are dreaming into being while letting go and allowing what is shedding away.

Immersing ourselves in nature will be helpful to keep us grounded and connected to our bodies, our senses, and our vital life force.

Self-inquiry through meditation, contemplation, and deep listening will help clarify what is really important so we can refine our focus on what is true and allow the rest to fall away.

Along with each new cycle and season, each day is another opportunity to see with new eyes.

What is seeded now will continue to support our blossoming both internally and externally. Your sovereignty is grounded in your personal choices. This is going to be another significant year of growth and change. Choose wisely and let go of what wants to peel away.

I am always here for you to remind you of the connection between horse and rider.

Giving thanks for this medicine that deepens our relating.

Robin,
