How to Move Peacefully into Winter

Here in the Northern Hemisphere, we are entering the season of Winter. The Solstice on December 21, tomorrow, marks the shortest day of the year and welcomes the longest night. It’s at this time of the year that I encourage my listeners to slow down, breathe and take stock of their year.

Winter is the end. And the beginning. To unify with winter, look for ways to emphasize receptivity and introspection:

  • Nap in the afternoon and listen for cheerful voices in the kitchen.
  • Allow the outer weather to cool the surface of the body, while reflection and introspection warm your spiritual core.
  • Create time to rest and practice deep reflection and meditation.
  • Strengthen your listening skills.
  • Recharge your batteries.
  • Enjoy the stillness.
  • Eat a few salty foods.
  • Listen to harp meditations

About “Winter” from the award-winning CD, Seasons of the Soul

I composed “Winter” harp meditation music with Five Elements Traditional Chinese Medicine in mind. I incorporated chi balancing concepts of the chillier months including peaceful stillness and the element of water.

This is a season of deep yin and strengthens the kidney and bladder systems. Ears, bones, and adrenal glands also find rest and healing this time of year, if you stop and allow them to rebalance.

I used Pentatonic and Mixolydian music to represent the stillness, the quiet that comes after a snowfall, and the drops dripping from icicles the next day.

Enjoy this free track from Seasons of the Soul, and find your easy transition into Winter.

Harp Teachers Scarce in Your Area? Online Harp Lessons Available

Ready to start playing harp? Or ready to take your harp playing to the next level? Do you live in a place where harp teachers are scarce? Let’s talk.

I learned online by Skype…I showed up for my weekly lessons, practiced religiously, and made big progress with my teacher – who lived 3000 miles away. I’d love for you to have the same experience. (Except now I use Zoom).

Cymber Lily Quinn, harp meditations, Hilo Hawaii“Cymber made me feel as though everything was possible!”

“Cymber helped me to begin to play the Celtic harp and move from insecurity to confidence.

She gave me many useful and specific details on how to position my hands, arms, fingers and even body posture. She made suggestions for how to improve tone and work towards a fluid, pleasing sound.

She was calm, supportive, joyful, friendly and a good role model.

Cymber shared useful sheet music recommendations and gave me exercises to improve fingering. She could perceive what I was doing well and what I needed to improve and could express that in a way that I could benefit from.

She made me feel as though everything was possible and that I would be able to share soothing, healing music which is my goal. She gave me information that related directly to the course I am taking elsewhere to become a certified music practitioner.

Cymber is a marvelous teacher with healing aloha!

Yay, Cymber!!”

Update from Suni: ” I just got my first paid gig as a healing harpist in a healthcare facility. You helped me get started!”
