Inner Earth Letter #1: on January

On slowly orienting forward, practicing 'meditation in movement' and 5 tips for January

Thank you for tuning in, and welcome to January.

A somewhat strange month where constructs celebrate new beginnings, but our natural surroundings still rest in the quiet and rhythms that invite slowww (snowy!) steps. To make sense of this month in these two opposites, we can feel how January doesn’t join anything that’s loud, nor reveals big announcements, but gently whispers new intentions. Where December is about ending and closing, January does carry the energy of staying inward but slowly moving forward. "It's the month of listening for the seed, not planting it". Don’t forget to keep on extending your exhales and lay your body to rest this month, and from there feel into what silently wants to come alive - instead of rushing your way into new things, without checking in from a place of calm and grounding.   Scroll down further to find a body-oriented practice for January, a guiding question to take with you into the rest of the month, and some ideas on how to attune to this month's energy.
