Spiritual Winter by YiYe Zhang

A Spiritual Winter can be very hard on our resources. Yet, at the same time, it provides us with a rare opportunity to answer the calling that we didn’t even know we had before.

In a time of trauma, what we can learn from Winter is to immerse into the dark. In the darkness, we suspend our everyday mentality, we incubate. Our Soul resets and reclaims our intrinsic rhythms, like going back to the womb. 

The divine light, that we consciously understand, pours out from heaven – the above.

๐Ÿ’™ But here, in Spiritual Winter, it is a different type of light from what we used to know. It rises from the below. Fire within Water. Like a blue flame emerges from the darkness, spontaneously and potently.

How To Truly Nourish Your Soul In A Challenging Time by YiYe Zhang

How To Truly Nourish Your Soul In A Challenging Time

โœ๐Ÿป๏ธ Like anyone who loves this world deeply and painfully, in recent years, I struggled with my practice of writing and art. With a heavy heart, on many occasions I could barely string a few sentences together.

Any challenging episode is like a spiritual, metaphorical Winter.

Chaos disrupts, yet simultaneously, it invites us to re-adopt the beginnerโ€™s mindset and fresh eyes, take a long journey to follow our roots, and deepen our craft, as a way to tend our spiritual garden.

๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป In the middle of the fertile void, perhaps a part in us can feel that the Dao is always present.

Sometimes, suffering and limitation become the agents of transformation.

If we willingly allow ourselves to enter the unknown, reaching down to our inner core, relinquishing our resistance to our deepest reservoir, we can find ourselves again – as a more nuanced and complete version.

After you have experienced breakdown of wholeness, after you’ve survived the chaos and crisis, after you’ve reintegrated yourself from the stone and cave, you are returning to wholeness in a different way.

And in this new episode of the Soul Medicine series, weโ€™ll look into how to embrace our Dao and 5 ways to truly nourish our Soul during spiritual Winter.
