I took this picture of beautiful Lake George when I was celebrating Thanksgiving with my family. It was one of the first snowfalls of the season and a great quietness and sense of peace spread across the lake. I was happy to have a warm cozy fire and a comfy couch to snuggle up on once inside.

Winter  is  the  time  of  hibernation  and  restoration.   The stillness  and  quietness  is  displayed  throughout  the  natural  world.  The  frozen  water  on  the surface  of  the  earth  provides  the  necessary  darkness  and  quietude  for  the  seeds  and  roots  to tap  in  with  their  source  and  nourish  germination.  As  we  too  are  part  of  nature,  in  Winter  our beings  need  to  draw  inwards  to  consolidate  our  essential  energy,  qi  or  prana.  As  we  let  go  of  our constant  outward  activity  and  take  rest,  we  return  to  our  source  and  preserve  our  roots.  It  is  a time  to  talk  less  and  listen  more.

According to Chinese Medicine,  Winter is the Season of the Water element and the Kidneys. Known as our root organ, the kidneys generate and store the original material that creates the fundamental basis for all of our other tissues. The Kidneys also govern the ears and hearing. Winter is a very powerful time to work with sound healing. The vibrations penetrate deeply inside your body, traveling in the waters of the body, providing nourishment to your deepest root and essential energy. The kidneys are also known as the Mother organs. As you nourish your kidneys, your entire organ systems will receive benefit.

I encourage you to take some time out this Winter and nourish your ears and kidneys with  Sound Healing.  I am offering Private Sound Healing Sessions and Gift Certificates for your loved ones for the Holiday. You can get a Holiday package and get one for yourself too! Or join me for one of my Restorative Yoga Sound Baths, this Sat. night (Dec 15, 7-9pm) at Sacred Sounds in the city and weekly on Wed. 8-9:30pm at Narayana Yoga Project in Greenpoint.

 

Sound Bliss awaits!
