Imagine the perfect fall day: warm enough to feel the sun on your face and cool enough to wear your favourite cozy sweater. You’re strolling down a path lined with shimmering golden trees, sipping pumpkin spice, and looking up in awe at a cloudless bright blue sky. Crisp autumn air fills your lungs. 🍂☀️

Your mind is quiet, your body relaxed, and your spirit soaring like the birds heading south for winter. You feel invigorated, alive, and at one with yourself and the world. 

Now, imagine you could bottle that feeling and tap into it all winter! ❄️

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, your kidneys are that bottle. They’re little bean-shaped reservoirs of Chi - your vital life force energy. 

When you leave behind summer and early autumn’s warm, bright “Yang” energy and transition to November's dark, damp “Yin” energy, the natural sources of Chi available in our environment (think long days and the heat from the sun) diminish, and your precious Kidney Chi stores can quickly deplete. 

To keep your vitality through the colder months, it’s essential to slow down and rest deeply. But ironically, we’re expected to be more productive than ever. The discord between our natural rhythms and societal pressures in the northern hemisphere can lead to a weakened immune system, low moods and feeling scattered and drained. 

This profoundly restful series will preserve and restore your energy and balance your nervous and hormonal systems so you can feel your best as you transition to a new season!
