The Winter in our Life

Author

Winter is a season that allows us to find refuge in order to feel the warmth and comfort we seek. This is a season in which we tend to isolate ourselves to look within and try to find our place in this world.

Just like trees shed all the leaves and become bare, we too go through a process of “shedding our old skin” if you will; we prepare and adjust accordingly in order to transform and evolve. As human beings we tend to hibernate in order to re-charge from our daily fast paced environment; finding comfort and joy in the small things in life.

Winter can be a wonderful time to focus our attention in the things we have been putting off; working from the inside out so that when the season changes we are ready to blossom just like the flowers in the spring. Changing with the seasons is a very cleansing process that can bring personal and spiritual expansion. Every waking moment brings a new leaf of growth; therefore, it is important to appreciate every moment and every season in order to see the splendor and divine connection surrounding our existence.

Winter can be full of storms but instead of worrying and seeing that as a nuisance try to connect with the energy of that storm. See it as a way of purifying and bringing forth change. Metaphorically speaking, every storm as chaotic as it maybe, always brings along peace, sunshine and a new beginning after is gone.

Sunshine and rainbows are always associated with the peace brought forth after a heavy storm. Life works the same way; just as the winter comes with hibernation, cold months, and storms, so does it bring beauty, warmth, and a period of self reflection and transformation so that we can be ready for the blossoming of our own spring.
