The most underutilized energy source, in our Modern World, is that of the winter. 

What do I mean by that? 

Winter is just dead and quiet right!?

Yes, it sure appears that way, but we all know very well that it indeed is not! 

Winter is a resting time, a going within- to the roots. Deeply nourishing, deeply grounding after releasing all that no longer serves us. It is a time of deep reflection, slow pace, and consistency to remain dormant and dare I say unexciting! 

How do you do in the winter? 

Do you mirror nature? 

It is rare to find those who do. Possibly cultures in the immersed in winter for most of the year are the best- like the Scandinavian cultures. 

They have greatly embraced this energy which has lead to not only their survival, but their ability to thrive beyond most modern day cultures. 

They eat locally grown roots, wild game, cold water fish, and have beautiful family and cultural rituals like cold plunging and sauna. 

A place that could be so "hard" becomes so healing when the season is properly honored. 

So how can we bring this into our life?

Let's dive into the energy of winter and see how we can use foods, lifestyle practices, and get comfortable "doing nothing".

Although it's the end of February, we still have 1 month until the Spring Equinox on March 20. So if you haven't already, this is your time to dive in to the winter energy. 

Lets slow down and deeply nourish ourselves so when that energy in the earth starts to rise, we have the energy to move with it, cleanse in the spring, and have sustained energy for the year! 

Here's to winter!

A deeper dive into using the energy of food to heal. 

We look at depleted energy vs excessive energy looks like in the body and which foods help to balance and heal those conditions. 

Understanding the energetics of food from an ancient perspective has been one of the most pivotal concepts in helping clients heal as a holistic health coach.

At the beginning of my journey into holistic health, I started by immersing myself in the framework of Acidic vs Alkaline foods and cooking methods. This can be a very healing way of eating for those who have inflammation, congestion, and diseases like cancer, etc. 

It started to open my eyes to the reality of healing that didn't need to be seen under a microscope- it can be intuitively understood, simply!

And that was just the beginning.

Soon after I went to a health and healing culinary school where we studied in depth about all types of ancient healing modalities like Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), macrobiotics, Ayurveda, and more. 

All of these ancient wisdoms look at the energy of food, the energy of cooking methods, and how they apply to the energy of the body.

They can counterbalance imbalance, and restore harmony when done correctly. 

I am so excited to share this knowledge with you because it has been paramount in helping myself and others find balance in their health through a framework that is more intuitive and simple in nature!

I hope you enjoy it! 

Haha yes, it's the 3rd episode and I'm finally introducing myself! 

I describe a bit of my back ground in Holistic Health and piece together the idea of Modern Sage- ancient wisdom in a modern world. 

I am so grateful for you listening to this podcast and the "unperfected" place I am currently in, which is, the beginning of starting something new. 

In this episode, we talk about Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Macrobiotics, the healing power of water and light, and so much more! 

It's an introduction to the ideas behind ancient wisdom, how all wisdom's have paid attention to the "energy" in the body and knew the connection between the soul and the physical body. 

Whatever shows up physically is a representation of what's happening in the energetic, emotional, and soul body. 

When you can tap into this concept, healing becomes much more clear and space for your own intuition comes in. 

No one knows you better than you, let's talk about reigniting your own wisdom, let's start to dismantle our programing that told us we had to seek advice from others, and learn how to use our bodies as a guide and dive into ancient wisdom in our modern world. 

I hope you enjoy this episode, and please remember to subscribe! 

Thank you for being here!

A modern dilemma for parents at this time is choosing between traditional schooling in the US or alternative. I have always swayed towards alternative for 100s of reasons, but ironically, we find ourselves in a public school kindergarten. Although there were some amazing reasons we chose this elementary school kindergarten, my heart still wavers . But does a mom ever feel like she has made the right decision? Let's talk about it
