Body, Mind & Soul: On WINTER

On Winter

The beauty of winter is its ability to shift one’s focus from the externals of life to the inner place of introspection and self-reflection. The mountains release the mosaic of autumn to winter’s stillness, quiet, and reprieve. One can certainly appreciate the uniqueness of the Hudson Valley as the trails transition from biking and hiking to cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

What a glorious opportunity to have the gift of diversity to explore the abundance of winter through the whole array of experiences and events: from holiday decorating to the beauty of local community, the ambiance of warm apple cider from a local farm stand to unique hand crafted shops and boutiques.

It is this time of sharing and gifting that one can truly appreciate the beauty of local community and the supportive interconnectedness that flourishes at the holiday time.

Indeed the holiday season is one of giving, yet be sure to give to yourself as well. Give yourself the opportunity to feed your soul with the nurturance of the quiet, still nights and soft snow brushed landscape. Take time to “be” and know it is okay to merge with the theme of winter, a time to slow down and take an internal observation of areas in your life that you would like to release rather than replant into the growing season of spring.

By a warm fire or simply a walk in the woods, take some easeful breaths to let the year of past slowly release, allowing the opportunities of the new to be explored and nourished for the beginning of the New Year.
