Deep Winter Rejuvenation Strategies

The organs of the human body feeds primarily on light and all the forms of qi that are available in nature. Warm those kidneys! Heat lamps, heating pads and hot water bottles allow you to periodically nuture that fire. We can add warmth directly over the back, where the kidneys are located, and from the front: the area between the navel and the pubic bone.
Get as much sunlight on your face and body as is available. Facing the sun for 10 minutes, with your eyes open or closed is an excellent way to absorb the energy of the sun. Take your dose of Vitamin D3 at the same time in order to magnify the body's production of vitamin D.
Winter is traditionally a time to consolidate and build energy in preparation for the expansive and creative energy later in the year. So it is a good time to retreat and sleep a little more. You can probably feel that tendency to hibernate. The grizzly bear will have fierce energy in the spring, but right now he is sleeping!
