I love season changes and living in Chicago we see them all and some are shorter than we’d like (Summer) and some longer than we’d like (Winter) but experiencing them all gives me such joy and I love reveling in the gifts that each season brings.

As we are well into Fall headed into Winter I was reflecting on these changes and our energy and how that relationship is impacted. Summer coming to a close of our BBQ’s and travel plans, time off and long lingering days of eating dinner on the deck and late bedtimes, there is an ease to Summer and we cherish those warm long days. Summer to me is all about Solar plexus, getting out there, doing and seeing, exploring and connecting if we had a social butterfly chakra the Solar plexus would be it!

As our days grow shorter, the weather gets colder, we tune inward and get ready for the holiday season and a long Winter ahead. For me Winter is gestating, taking time to dive into ideas and awareness that in the Summer may feel like “I don’t have time” to explore these energies! Winter for me Root energy, grounding down and hunkering in for some self-exploration and taking care of myself. Winter can be a time of rejuvenation and renewal, New year traditionally a time to make new intentions for the coming year. I used to dread Winter and there have been times when it really wears on my patience but if I allow myself to surrender to the darker days and go inward I have to admit I really love that time to go within and work on parts of myself that Summer is too busy for!
