I read a few days ago on TaoistPath.com that as we approach the Winter Solstice, we are in the most Yin time of the year – the time of the most darkness, the time of cold weather. So for us in northern climates, we find ourselves inside most of the time, waiting for the return of the Sun – the Yang energy. This winter I have definitely dedicated myself to my inner work and hermitage, and that has included forcing myself to sit in meditation every day, cultivating a QiGong practice, doing Yin Yoga, being creative (that’s why all these youtube videos are getting pumped out!) and eating healthy home-made food & even doing a blessed herbs colon cleanse. I really do think that this is the time of year for all of us to really go within, spend more time in our inner hibernation creative space, and give ourselves the self-love & self-nurturing that we all desire. Who else is going to love us for us if we can’t commit to loving ourselves first?

Given that there is so much stress, over-consumption and people freaking out about what’s going on in our planet & culture – there is a lot of negative energy to combat to stay sane & healthy. We are living in energetically frazzled times, with the news & facebook feeds serving to support freaking out over everything. Coupled with that, there’s financial losses that are popping up on the radar and I am seeing desperation both locally, close to home, as well as in the distance – on the news. My heart goes out to everybody that is going through it, and I pray that everybody find their inner peace and gratitude for what is, in the process.

Personally, I am grateful that I live in an extremely safe community, in a safe home, living very simply & frugally, and have very little stress in my life. I have no partner / boyfriend, no children, no real job (I freelance) and thus it has gratefully given me a lot of freedom to commit to my own inner work & self-love-healing-cultivation. I know that it’s difficult to commit to yourself and cultivating your tools for self-nurturing when there is so much stress, obligations and overwhelm in your life, but that is when it is even MORE CRUCIAL to have tools to move & clear stressful / negative energy in your field. And instead of actually dealing with the energy by using tools to clear the energetic field and arriving at balance, they instead numb themselves so they don’t have to fully feel or deal with how overwhelmed they feel – this is called addiction. And it does not work to clear or heal underlying issues, it creates less clarity & is a tool of disintegrating the psyche rather than integrating back into wholeness.

Thus it is so important that we all cultivate self-love & self-nurturing, and do our inner work of energetic re-balancing so that we may stay sane & balanced during these transformational times. So, in the name of frugality and economy, I offer you a list of 7 Self-Healing Tools that will always be free. Perhaps you can find 10 minutes in your day to commit to arriving back into stillness. It’s easier than you think; you probably spend 10 minutes a day (or more) on Facebook, reading the news, watching TV or youtube videos, drinking & other distractions from yourself. But it takes commitment to love yourself and bring your attention back within yourself, especially with so much clamboring for our attention from externals.
