In Winter: Dive Deep to Rejuvenate Your Life Energy
In winter when cold, ice, and snow cover the Earth, it can feel difficult to believe that warmth and light will ever return. Perhaps you’ve found yourself feeling stuck, and think nothing is happening of any value. The truth is that much is happening internally that is of great value. If you dive deep you can restore and rejuvenate yourself for greater life energy.
“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” ~Albert Camus
Allow me to share this personal story. A few years ago after a winter storm, and when the snow finally melted a bit, I decided to take advantage of some of the sunlight to get out of the house. I took a walk around one of the beautiful glacial lakes here in these Cascade Mountains. What I noticed was that part of the lake was still frozen, while the other half was still flowing. In the part that was flowing, ducks were swimming and searching for plants close to the banks. In the part that was frozen, ice created webbed patterns making it difficult to see beneath the surface. I watched two men throwing stones into the frozen part of the water. The first man was throwing heavy stones into the icy end making a huge impact at the surface as it descended into the lake. The second man was skipping a small stone across the ice. This made beautiful tones that rang out across the lake. The visual impact and sounds of these stones really stayed with me.
When I shared what I saw with my Science teacher-parent, he responded, “We seldom appreciate the wonders of water in winter in its relationship to supporting life. When we see frozen water, it is often associated with an absence of flow and life. But, its unique features allow nature to function properly in the process of change. An example that many of us would never notice, and might take for granted, is that ice floats on lakes in the winter. What we miss is the fact that water when it gets colder falls to the bottom of the lake. When water gets close to freezing, it then rises to the surface. This causes the ice to form on the top, and in so doing, turns the water over completely in the lake. This turning over moves the nutrients in such a way that aquatic life is refreshed.” ~Dr. Robert Knodt
The process of inner growth is like that for us, too. It takes diving deep into the unseen and then allowing time and space for the process to unfold. A heavy stone dives deep. It can be hard at first. Feeling all our feelings, getting in touch with the message underneath can lead to greater compassion, understanding, and forgiveness. When you give yourself the time to go through a process of accessing your inner truth, you come back with greater clarity. Through mindfulness, it is the process of turning over your inner lake.
Your interior life depends on listening. Subtle or seemingly small encounters, synchronicity, or messages in your daily life can change your perspective while renewing your energy. This is like the second stone ringing out across the ice carrying a message to inform all of your life. Everything in the Universe can be a messenger. There is nothing too small or insignificant. A newsletter heading, the cashier at Starbucks, or a small gesture of someone smiling or holding the door can make the difference between gloom and bloom!
When you begin to trust the messages from within and realize that the Universe is conspiring with you to build your spiritual self-esteem, doorways open to new possibilities and awareness. Taking action with the guidance and wisdom you receive will bring balance and more harmony to your life. Every single event, person, situation, the reason for joy, pain or grief has, in fact, the potential to lead to a greater expansion of spiritual awareness and connection to nourishment. Through this lens, you can begin to see places in your life where you have felt stuck or frozen where your inner lake was turning over differently. When this time comes, spend time and dive deep to create new harmonics to create harmony in your life.
The time you take for reflection will improve your quality of response to whatever life is presenting to you next. It might feel like it is impossible to take action when you are stuck, depressed, or in grief. But, by going through the process of self-care, it is then possible to emerge with greater insight and renewal. Give voice to your thoughts through journaling. Draw, dance, and play the music that helps you feel connected to harmony. Build in a movement practice that incorporates a focus on your breath. Read material that will help deepen and expand your understanding. Find a compassionate listener. Eat healthy foods. Spend time in nature. Take inventory of what is good about you! Find a way to go with the flow. Rest and renew.
Want to experience greater insight and rejuvenation in the process? Contact Kimberly Rex, MS here to experience a Resonance Repatterning® session. Each session dives deep in a way that brings more life energy and nourishment to your life with natural modalities designed to help you feel more energized, centered, and empowered.

Winter Wellness Naturally
Winter is a time to consider going within to nourish your roots. It is time to incorporate self-care even more consciously during these cold months. This article shares natural ways to build integrity in your winter wellness naturally.
1) Take Care of Your Kidneys and Bladder
Winter is Water Element time in Traditional Chinese Medicine. So this is is especially a good time to do self-care for your kidneys and bladder. 1) Be sure that the food you eat and the beverages you drink are not cold. They should be at least room temperature. Drink 2-3 cups of water or tea between 1 and 3 pm to hydrate your system. Add a little salt to your meal at dinner (between 5 and 7 pm: Kidney time). 2) Eat foods with root vegetables, whole grains, and small amounts of meat or fish protein. Include foods that are dark blue or close to black in color to feed your kidneys. If you are a vegetarian, eat more beans, nuts, seeds, and tempeh. 3) Keep your feet and kidney area warm throughout the winter. Wear a scarf to keep your neck warm. 4) You can do some movement for this purpose as well: marching in place is helpful. Rub your ears also as they are related to Water Element.
2) Take Care of Your Lungs
Movement and Breath: Be sure to stretch your upper body. By doing this so, you are expanding your lungs. You can do this by opening your arms to the side and above your head to open your chest (stretching your lungs). Open your neck and mouth with a sound to expel toxins from the lungs as you do so. Stretch your upper body from side to side with your arms crossing over each other in a push to the opposite side to stretch your lungs for winter wellness.
Breathing Exercise: Pursed Lips Breathing: Pursed-lips breathing can slow down your breathing, reducing the work of breathing by keeping your airways open longer. This makes it easier for the lungs to function and improves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. This breathing exercise can be practiced at any time.
How to:
- Inhale slowly through your nose.
- Purse your lips, as if you are going to blow on something.
- Breathe out slowly through your pursed lips. This should take at least 2 x as long as you take to breathe in.
- Repeat.
3) Take Care of Your Large Intestine
Taking care of your digestion means being sure you are eating to keep your digestion running smoothly. When you have issues with digestion or elimination, incorporate fennel, ginger, marjoram, thyme, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper in your cooking and teas. Consider flax seeds, flaxseed oil, and psyllium if you have difficulties with elimination.
Look at stress in your life that constricts your ability to let go. Be sure to keep hydrated. You can also use the sound, “M” for the sound of letting go.
4) More Natural Remedies for Winter Wellness
These two articles have additional winter wellness resources with nutritional, herbal, and tea recipes.

Freedom and Choice in Challenging Times
Freedom and choice in challenging times can feel more overwhelming when you think the world you knew is no longer reliable or falling apart. This can be related to your experience in sudden shifts, loss, abandonment, grief, insecurity, or safety. These events change and challenge your perception of what you can count on. Blurred by the pain that comes forward in the process it is important to return to who you truly are.
In this territory, you might feel more detached from people and life around you in your attempt to put things back together. When stressed your body creates more cortisol and your thinking becomes blurred. The ability to think or act in the moment is reduced to emotional and survival reactions. Challenging times affect how your body processes new information how you digest your food, and how your immune system functions. However, you do have the freedom and choice through personal agency to let go of what does not support your health and well-being to restore harmony and balance within.
Freedom to Remember Who You Are
In this article, you will find (4) intentions for new possibilities from the vast work of Resonance Repatterning tailored to this topic. Use these intentions as an invitation to freedom and choice in challenging times.
Remembering who you truly are and what you do comes from moving back into your body for self-care. Your body is a magnificent self-healing and creative entity so it is essential to take care of your life energy with whole foods, sunlight, movement, clean air and water, sleep, and nourishing touch so it can function well.
This also means that you meet life where it is presenting itself to you with the fullness of your being so that you can be proactive in your response to what is showing up. With your inner values for your physical and spiritual needs. you can choose loving and compassionate steps to plan for what is essential for your body, mind, and spirit. If you believe in taking care of the earth and rescuing wildlife and forests, remember who you are, and what you do. Act upon the importance of human rights, and non-violent communication. If you believe in the power of diversity, art, music, gardening, and community action, you have the choice to continue acting upon your inner knowing.
If this means changing how you spend your money or time, how you eat, or where you live, consider these options from the place of prioritizing self-care while reducing potential stress in the future. This includes creating provisions for facing life even in the presence of uncertainty and insecurity. You have the freedom and choice to take care of your body-mind-spirit’s needs,
Affirmation: “I keep moving towards remembering who I truly am and practicing self-care. free of distraction and guided from within to do whatever action I need to do next..“
Freedom to Pursue Your Purpose
The story of Viktor Frankl exemplifies how remembering who you are can align, and act upon your purpose based on what gives meaning to your life, despite what challenges present.
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
~Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
Affirmation: “I am free of all self-doubt and fear about achieving what I believe in.“
Freedom to Connect With Others
Connection with others at this time is important to share and care for each other in safe and nourishing spaces. It is through loving bonds that your body-mind system can take care of itself. In fact, studies have been done to show that long term-loving bonding relationships create longevity, reduce stress, and support greater well-being.
Especially amid challenging times. it becomes essential to face life instead of running from it. Discerning what is loving and kind for your life is vital while also staying open to connection to what is life-energizing. This discernment happens when you expand your practice of appreciating life’s creative potential for beauty, comfort, wonder, and healing. Notice how this self-care affects your body, your thoughts and attitudes shift your resonance toward kindness in life. This is especially important for building the capacity to manage challenging and painful experiences.
Connecting to or remembering kindness in your daily life allows you to have the freedom to choose what you experience daily while also impacting the web of connection. So as you move through the world practice small acts of kindness. When you experience kindness choose to allow it to be taken in fully to nourish your body-mind-spirit system.
In the process of taking and giving kindness, the feelings of resentment and fear diminish. What you create with the unconditional love of the universe is available to you through the inspiration you receive from journaling, meditation, movement, poetry, art, reading, a smile, a door opened, a meal shared, walking your pet, spending time in nature, and even listening to music. Find ways to take nourishment for yourself and with others to experience the life-enhancing benefits.
Affirmation: “I catch each wave of grace and go with its movement, which gives me the strength to manifest my potential to make life-affirming choices.“
Truly listen to the messages that emerge when you are together. Be there for each other in ways that build safe, secure, and loving environments. Notice synchronicities and honor the timing of the universe as you move through life. Take action on internal guidance and messages. One way to check-in each day is to ask yourself three questions on awakening in the morning: 1. Who am I? 2.What is my purpose? and 3.What do I need? This will allow you to deeply focus and take nourishment from freedom and choice in challenging times.
This is your invitation to create freedom and choice in your life with the 3-month For Every Season Winter Program beginning on December 1, 2024.
SPECIAL OFFER: When you sign up for the For Every Season Winter Program before December, you will not only get all the materials for this three-month process, but also receive the Winter Solstice 60-Minute Group Repatterning on December 21, 2024 for FREE.

Listening to Your True North
Listening to your True North in a world that asks you to interact with diverse and sometimes dissonant views can sometimes be challenging. Expressing your values through your communication and actions in some spaces might leave you feeling disoriented, confused, and de-energized.
If you have had experiences where you did not have permission to express your views it can be difficult to give yourself permission to radiate your light and make choices based on your inner guidance. Family, societal and cultural systems might override your ability to get in touch with what you truly believe, choose and value.
The truth is that there is only one you. You were born with the DNA from your ancestors AND you were born with a gift and unique expression of the universe. In Chinese Medicine, this is referred to as your Original Self or core essence.
So how do you find your back to your core essence? You begin by looking at what you have been living and where you have pushed up against challenges in your life. For it is within these experiences that your North Star can be found.
In Resonance Repatterning® there is the opportunity to look at parts of yourself that have been immobilized or stuck in an energetic posture you took for survival needs. These parts hold the information you need to access what you need to learn to get to know more deeply the voice of your true essence. By doing so, this mobilizes the energy to be able to face life in a new way in the outer world.
For it is with the loving permission from these earlier experiences that you gain access to all of wisdom from your Family Systems, and get to know the strength and good within yourself. It is with this growth and transformation that allows you to discern what is aligned with your values that create the principles for your life.
Listening to Your True North Activities
Explore these (2) exercises from that process to give your True North and inner Essence a voice.*
You will need paper, and drawing materials like pencils, pens, crayons, colored pencils, or markers for these activities.
