The winter season is upon us,
the snow is falling and the blanket of white has arrived.
I love winter,
and for some reason it brings
upon me a feeling of quiet and peacefulness as the snowflakes fall.
Although you may have an entirely different experience,
such as anxiety and stress,
And being worried about driving in this snowy mess,
Or slipping on the ice,
Is not very nice,
Winter is a good time,
To sit back and drink wine!
(Wine . . . did I say that?
Well maybe that homemade elderberry, dandelion, or blackberry wine could be just what the herbalist ordered?)
It is true,
As all the farmers know it too.
No more planting, seeding, weeding, watering or nurturing crops.
The hay is up, the grain is harvested.
Now is the time to rest at the homestead.
When we look outside and notice Mother Nature, we have a message she asks us to nurture.
Winter is a time of rest,
slowing down is the test.
Many Locals head south,
following the birds,
and being known as "snowbirds."
Now on with the story . . . without all the poetry.
For those of us who do not “fly south for the winter,” looking out your window,
you will see less activity.
There are fewer birds, no bears to be seen, the trees have dropped their leaves, and there is a quietness to be
seen.
One way to REDUCE THE STRESS AND ANXIETY of these Winter Wonderland days,
is to slow down too.
If you are used to being busy, sitting still may have you feeling lazy, so below I have listed some movies. These are Healthy Movie suggestions for you, providing education and inspiration.
The movie Raw for 30 Days shows how diabetes, both Type I and II, have been reversed naturally.This is an amazing film, and really opens your mind to the possibility of healing anything naturally.
Raw for 30 Days isn’t only about diabetes, it is about how your body can heal itself of the most difficult challenges, naturally. You can find this online at: http://www.rawfor30days.com
This would be a great way to stay motivated, pick and choose the things you want to add to your lifestyle and stay on track in 2011.
Other movies you may want to watch are:
- Sicko – found in your local video store.
- Food Inc. – also found in your local video store.
(The above movies may not be suitable for young children; please check the movie ratings.)
- Pay It Forward – a heart-warming movie that is also inspiring.
The first two movies demonstrate what we have not been told, and give us clarity as to why your health seems to be deteriorating faster than you can acquire the knowledge on how to reclaim it!
Education + Action = Transformation.
Winter is a great time to gather together and watch movies, stay warm and relax.
Have a great winter season resting, relaxing and repairing your body before the season of spring is upon us.
