There's often a Darkness we can feel in the winter

There's often a Darkness we can feel in the winter. We can feel darker when the days get darker. We can feel heavier as the air grows heavy with cold (at least in this northern hemisphere).

This can also happen in our own inner seasons in the heat and bright sunshine of the summer.

A Wintering, I call it.

A time when we go extra Internal, when things slow down, perhaps in a way that feels very uncomfortable for us, when nothing new appears to be growing and we sometimes wonder if the stores we have, Emotionally, Energetically, are going to be enough, when we're asked to be more Still.

And this can make us feel a certain kind of panic, or a certain kind of gloom, because this world hasn't taught us how to be with Her.

She is the sparkling, wondrous ecstasy of Bliss and Expansion and she is the Internaling, the Quieting, the Wintering, the Dissolution into Dark.

This is why we only think "it's working" when it APPEARS to be working, it's why we only feel good when we have validation, it's why we only Believe when we already have proof.

But there's an easeful (I didn't say 'easy') — an easeful way of holding ourselves in these Wintering places, an easeful way of supporting our nervous systems and Emotion Body in these times of Wintering, an easeful way of helping our inner-petals blossom again:

We Tend.

We devote ourselves
to Tending.

Small acts of care, gentle acts of Return… every day… little ways we let ourselves fill ourselves with what we have access to, with anything we can find, with any form of Nourishment, and we let it warm the tiny, small reaches of our experience breathing even a little bit of Life and Light into them, and when we keep Returning to this Tending day to day the garden blooms.

If you're feeling heavy, in your Wintering, turn to whatever resources you have at your disposal, that book that has uplifted you in the past, that course sitting on your shelf, that mentorship you haven't really utilized, that podcast that always reminds you of something beautiful, that meditation practice you have been putting off...

Just touch into them.

See if you can turn toward them
open toward them and let yourself Receive

Let yourself be Filled even in teeny-tiny ways just to Tend to the small,
quiet parts each day and let the Nourishment grow, your own gift to you.
