\"<\/a>Let\u2019s welcome back monthly columnist Marie Bowser<\/a> as she shares with us \u201c Winter Magic: Doing Less To Do More.\u201d Enjoy!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
***<\/div>\n

Depending on where you live, you may already see the signs…\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is snow in certain parts of the United States and a chill has set in at night even in the warmer parts of the northern hemisphere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer.<\/strong> And there\u2019s a natural tendency to have less energy, to be more inward, and to sleep more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Winter Magic: Doing Less To Do More\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"aaron-burden-AtDUYurMJIU-unsplash\"<\/a>This is all normal. In fact, it\u2019s better than normal. It\u2019s magical.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a tremendous amount of power that the darker month<\/strong>s, the time before and after the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere (November 4th through February 4th), can provide us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The energy of winter, of the water element, of the great yin, is quiet, still and dark.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This quietude sets the stage for a perfect deep dive to the inner realms<\/strong>, to the subconscious, to your intuition and wisdom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you are a writer who struggles with blocks to your flow, or you\u2019re scraping together a few moments each day to write part time while working full time and raising a family, or you\u2019re a fully focused, prolific, page pounding machine, right now is a potent time to\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

DO NOTHING…<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"elijah-m-henderson-DMED-sOt1Ak-unsplash\"<\/a>Ok. I\u2019m exaggerating. BUT the invitation at this shift in season is to take your foot off the pedal and give yourself time, rest and space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Allow yourself to sleep a little longer and to use that sleep as an opportunity to dream and nourish your well of inspiration<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Schedule some time each day to meditate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Take an inner journey to connect to your guides<\/strong>, your ancestors or the characters that you\u2019re calling in to see what they have to say.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Doing Less To Do More\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Does this period of time that I\u2019m describing sound challenging to you?<\/span><\/h3>\n

It might be for some people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe you\u2019re not a naturally watery person<\/strong>, or maybe you feel the perpetually productive pressure of a society that applauds and rewards the energy of spring and summer. This is normal too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It may sound indulgent but the stillness, quiet and inspiration that you access as a result will create even greater productivity for you. Water powers cities afterall.<\/span><\/p>\n

Singletasking, slowing down, and inviting in the winter magic\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

I invite everyone, but especially you who struggle with the seasonal shift, to spend time soaking in your tub.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The soothing, warm, water energy will calm and quiet the mind of chatter<\/strong>, allow your attention to go even deeper than you thought possible and attune you to the season at hand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, we can access this potent water element energy all year long, which might be useful to know if you\u2019re in the southern hemisphere and feeling like I\u2019ve left you out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each month at the dark of the moon we experience a water element moment.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even in the summer we have an opportunity to cool our jets, to go inward, to take breath and allow our intuition to bubble up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"nikita-kachanovsky-6loxuv3aXkg-unsplash\"<\/a>Doing less to do more\u2026 give it a go.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t wait to hear what you didn\u2019t do this winter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

P.S. If you are curious to know more about your elemental nature you\u2019re invited to take <\/span>this fun quiz<\/span><\/a> that I created to help you better understand how to use your elemental nature as a superpower as well as some advice on how to work with it\u2019s common challenges.
