Today we honor the qualities of yin on the shortest day of the year, the winter solstice.
Imagine a single flame in a dark room. This is yang, emerging from the consuming darkness of yin. Beginning tomorrow, the flame will grow brighter as we advance towards its fullness at the summer solstice. But for today, let's enjoy the stillness, the winter, the calm of yin. Happy Solstice.
Love and gratitude,
Your Acupuncturist
