Living with the Seasons – Winter

October 26, 2019 No Comments

In Chinese Five Element Theory, winter describes a time of hibernation. It’s a period of stillness, introspection, and deep restoration. As the season is governed by the element water, the bodily systems of the kidneys and bladder need to be considered at this time of year. Together with the reproductive organs, these are considered to house what’s referred to as ‘Vital Essence’, or what you could call our ‘mojo’!

Mojo requires a balance of activity and rest. Imagine a brisk walk in the woods before coming home to a bowl of steaming broth, morning yoga before enjoying a slow breakfast, or chopping logs before curling up in front of the fire.

Last year, Gemma wrote a beautiful piece on winter living. Today, I’d like to build on this and focus on three important areas to help you enjoy your most restorative winter yet!

The Transformative Power of Rest

October 25, 2019 1 Comment

The Nature of Rest

In Chinese Five Element Theory, winter describes a period of hibernation, introspection, and deep restoration. Nature reminds us that we require deep nourishment at this time of year. We can all benefit from taking time out to rest and refocus, and the winter season naturally supports this important process.

Living in a fast-paced world, isolated from nature, it’s easy to miss these natural influences. Once upon a time, nature was home. Our lives were inseparable from it, and it profoundly shaped our existence, providing everything that sustained us. But not anymore.

October 4, 2019 No Comments

Today, I’m here with SOL nutrition expert Florence Neville and we have some advice and ideas for what to eat in winter to help you feel nourished and content throughout the season.

Florence is an experienced health and nutrition coach who helps people use food to reach optimum health and I have worked as a nutritionist and holistic chef on wellbeing retreats around the world, gaining valuable knowledge and experience supporting people on their own wellbeing journeys.

At State of Liberty, we believe eating should be joyful and celebratory. Nutrition, health and wellbeing are intrinsically linked. When we’re conscious of our food choices and aware of our personal needs, natural rhythms, cycles and habits, we are choosing the most responsible and liberating way of eating and living.

How to Create a Home that Supports Your Wellbeing

November 20, 2018 No Comments

At State of Liberty, we believe self-care is a way of life and that the best place to start is in the home.  Your home environment can greatly enhance your sense of wellbeing, support your self-care practices and nourish you.

Clearing and letting go of unwanted and unused belongings, or cleaning and adding fresh flowers, can transform the atmosphere, helping us move from feeling stuck and overwhelmed to feeling light and inspired.

In short, creating a safe, supportive and inspiring space in your home is a key part of establishing a regular wellbeing routine.
