As we are in the depths of winter right now, I wanted to share a little more about the kidneys and how we can replenish our chi during the winter months in order to increase our vitality for the year ahead.
Healing the Sister Wound
The sister wound lives in all of us. It stems from the patriarchal fear that our feminine power when combined undermined the patriarchal need for power and control. And so, instead of honouring our ability to connect and promote harmony, the system turned us against each other.
