Winter is the season when the energy of the kidney needs to be nourished. It is time for storing energy rather than expending it. It is the most Yin of the seasons. When the weather turns cold everything in nature goes to sleep and into hibernation. Like the plants going into their roots, we sink our energy deeper inside of us. The deepest place in our body are the bones and bone marrow which is governed by the kidneys. Standing postures are considered Yin and are known to be strengthening the joints and bones. Avoid rushing, stay warm, go slow, go to bed early will help to nourish the kidneys. Water flows downward, cleanses, nourishes and calming. Our Qi Gong practice will reflect that.
Kidney Qi governs our vitality by being a reservoir of Yang Qi, balancing our modern-day world, which is very Yin. Kidney Qi is like water, flowing effortlessly, enveloping and cooling.
