On December 21st it will be the winter solstice. This is a time of extreme yin, extreme darkness. As we know it, this Wednesday is the shortest day of the year. From there, the light gradually begins to return as the days get longer and longer. The solstice is an excellent time to reflect on one’s life, health and direction. Taking a few moments to write a few goals for the upcoming days or months and possibly even write down something you’re ready to discard and let go of. This time of year is also an excellent time to nourish the yin aspect of your kidneys. In Chinese Medicine, moxa is a preferred method specifically for nourishing and tonifying the kidneys during the solstice. So come get your moxa on!
