JustBHappy Posted December 21, 2013 The yin has just about reached it's maximum and has no choice but to make way for the growing Yang. I personally love winter solstice, much more than Christmas.Remember to take it easy. Sleep, rest, then sleep some more before you rest. It's also a wonderful time for meditation and poor time for strenuous exercise. Magical time of change.Happy DongZhi festival ya bums. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustBHappy Posted December 21, 2013 There's a nice little message from ChunYi Lin on his website regarding the Yin/Yang of this day and the importance of meditating and resting while avoiding strenuous work/exercise and sex.http://www.springforestqigong.com/energy-of-food/seasons/winter/special-date-december-22nd/ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soaring crane Posted December 21, 2013 I'm getting fat. Happens every year.  We spent the evening at the neighbors who had organized a kind of St John's Fire Festival (very common here at summer solstice) in their beautiful yard. It was all set up like a winter village, with goulash and Glühwein and Swedish fires... Lots of kiddies running around. It's chilly but not really cold, no snow. Really a magical little event they pulled off there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
