The energy of winter is that of going within.
For where there is death, there is life.
Visually the bare branches, the leafy floors look still and lifeless, but there is activity underneath. The trees use their withdrawn energy for growth, for expanding their root systems. All in preparation for the growing season, and it’s already started.
I love how what we can learn from the wintering of trees and use this time to prepare our own root systems, to use this as a time of self discovery. A time of progression. A time to loosen up the blinkeredness of certain ways or engrained patterns.
Winter is connected to our root chakra, the base of the spine. The grounding element is related to earth energy and our feelings of safety, it’s about our foundations & creating security for our emotional & physical wellbeing.
Survival instinct, self-preservation, courage, grounding, material stability, vitality, passion, the power to create.
The Root Chakra is about your physical needs such as feeling worthy to take up space, capable of having your needs met & strong enough to face life.
A blocked Base Chakra would feel like living in fear, indecision, lack of vitality, difficulty manifesting creative ideas.
An open & balanced base chakra allows you to feel more grounded, focused, organised, abundant & in your body.
Ask yourself…
What can you do to treat yourself with more compassion?
How can you become more purposeful in what you do?
How can you live more from the heart?
How can you inspire others?
The Winter energy is the realm of the crone.
The stirrer of the cauldron. The woman within us that lives life in full. The woman who is unafraid to speak her truth. She has lived, she has loved and she has lost. She walked through life and gained her experiences.
Ask yourself…
What is the crone calling within you this winter?
Who is the you of the future?
What will you be experiencing?
What will you be creating for others??
