Staying Healthy in the Winter
Wednesday, January 10 
6PM

Winter is nature's resting season. Some aspects of nature may look dead; however, it is not.
Nature is storing its potential deep in the earth and in the roots of vegetation. Life does not stop
during the winter months. Remember that the bulbs that are in the ground are not dead, and the
seeds that fell to the ground from the trees/plants are still alive. They are storing up their energy
and preparing to burst forth during the growth period of Spring. In a similar way, by resting, you
store up your energy for spring. Some of the gifts of winter include strengthening of reserves,
wisdom, stillness, and reassurance. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Kidneys and
the Bladder are associated with the season of winter. These two organs work together to perform
many important energetic functions vital to your health. If the energy of the Kidneys and
Bladder are not balanced, you may experience urination issues, chronic low back pain, bone and
teeth issues, tinnitus/hearing issues, infertility/sexual issues, and/or premature loss of head hair.
If you are interested in learning how your body works from a TCM perspective; if you are
interested in learning safe and natural ways to follow and use the energy of Winter to stay
healthy, then this class is for you. Renee Lehman, MS, PT, MAC, Licensed Acupuncturist and
Physical Therapist, will present practical self-care practices (including Lifestyle
recommendations, Qigong movements, and Eating for Healing) to help you support your body’s
energy (Qi).
