Stillness in the Dark – The Depths of Winter: Part 5 of Healing with the Seasons

Posted December 15, 2016 — by Cynthia Zanti Jabs, L.Ac.

‘It’s dark on purpose. So just listen.’

These words, from a poem called The Oracle by Lawrence Raab, tell it like it is in the Winter.

The healing gifts of Winter come with deep listening. From tapping into the depths when it’s dark. When we’re weary. When we’re afraid.

Nights are long. Days are short. The cold we step into outside requires layers of protection. Else it makes us cringe. Or makes us sick. And wears us out.

I returned to Baltimore with new energy and 4 more pounds of–no, not luggage–body weight.

Therefore I decided to lose weight. Continue reading “The Power of Losing Weight”

The Three Environments

Posted October 1, 2007 —

We hear daily news about global warming, natural and man-made disasters affecting our environment. How can we live a healthy life in an ever more polluted environment? We feel enraged but powerless. Where should we start to clean up? What about where we have control: Inside and around the house: get rid of chemicals, clutter, recycle, etc?

Then we are ready to clean up the next environment, our internal environment: the body’s pH, oxidative stress, cholesterol, toxins, etc. This entails a wholesome diet, regular exercise, regular sleep pattern, creative work and free time. We do have control over these things but it takes more will to implement them. Continue reading “The Three Environments”
