The element associated with the Winter season is water which holds our reservoir of trust, vitality and spark. When 'life happens' and we have shocks, changes, stresses or strains our water element helps us hold trust for a good outcome and gives us the reserves needed to get through. However if our water element is out of balance and/or depleted we can slip into deep fear. This can show itself as being scared to make a wrong move, expecting the worst in every situation, not trusting others, or indeed ourselves, feeling stuck and stagnant, repeating the same pattern over and over. Our water element is our link to our depths. It loves to be fully hydrated both on a practical level, and on an energetic one. Feeling fearful? Give some attention to your water element...it's very good medicine. Sending you much love and heaps of trust, SJ x
