Winter... Naturally

Well, here it is again. Winter. The lack of daylight during the dark, gloomy, rainy winters where I live in the Pacific Northwest affects everyone who lives here.

For many, winter is a time of suffering what's commonly called The Winter Blahs. The medical name for it is Seasonal Affective Disorder. Its acronym, SAD, pretty much explains what it's like.

The symptoms of SAD can be mild and almost unnoticeable, or they can be so extreme that the sufferer is unable to function normally. Here's some of the main symptoms of SAD:

  • lack or loss of energy
  • craving for carbohydrates, sugar, and alcohol
  • weight gain (must be all those carbs!)
  • wanting to sleep a lot more
  • depression and mood swings
  • lowered immunity to illness

All of these are the result of one single cause: the lack of natural daylight.

Physiologically speaking, it all begins in the Pineal gland. This gland is the body's light meter. It senses and responds to the amount of natural light received by the retinas of the eyes.

Among other of its functions, the Pineal gland controls the production of Melatonin and Seratonin. The quanities of these two hormones produced by the Pineal are based on the amount of light it's sensing via the retina. The greater the amount of natural light, the more Seratonin it produces. The lesser amount of natural light, the more Melatonin produced. So when Winter comes along and there's less natural light available for the Pineal gland, it does two things: increases Melatonin and decreases Seratonin.

What does this have to do with SAD?

  • Melatonin is the sleep or hibernation hormone. Its production is increased when the Pineal gland senses less natural light. Melatonin also lowers body temperature in preparation for sleep or hibernation, which then triggers the body to want more calories to burn for heat. This results in cravings for carbs and sugar.
  • Seratonin is the mood elevator hormone. It decreases depression and anxiety. It also regulates digestion. Its production is increased with exposure to natural increased light.

The lack of sunlight in the winter causes the Pineal gland to increase the output of Melatonin and decrease that of Seratonin. The result is SAD.

There are lots of methods for overcoming the symptoms of SAD. Some are pricey (extended vacations to tropical countries). Others are questionable (drugs, prescription or otherwise). There are also lots of alternative methods such as light therapy and natural supplements. However, there's one important message being sent by our body that most of us who suffer from SAD aren't hearing, and it's this:

Winter is NOT the time to be as physically busy
as you are the rest of the year!

We've become so accustomed to an artificial lifestyle supported by artificial means that we've forgotten there are certain rhythms to our life. Ignoring these rhythms creates problems with physical and emotional health. When we were "blessed" with the miracle of artificial light we lost connection with one of the most important rhythms of our life - the changing of the seasons and the resultant change of the amount of natual light.

Our bodies are designed to correspond to the differences of the energy of each season, but with artificial light we can ignore the fact that Winter is a time to rest from the hectic activity of the other seasons:

  • Spring, when our energy increases in preparation for the busyness of Summer
  • Summer, the highest energy part of the year
  • Fall, when we slow down and prepare for the quiet of the dark part of the year
  • Winter, when we rest

You wouldn't think of keeping the lights on and working 24 hours a day and going without sleep. So why do you think it's okay to work as hard, as long, and as energetically in the Winter as you do in the Summer? We don't get more colds and flu in the Winter because the weather's colder. We get colds more often in the Winter because we don't honor our body's natural requirement for rest during that season.

Here are some protocols I offer to help you overcome the symptoms of SAD. Also, I invite you to include amongst those protocols a very critical look at your daily schedule to see what activities you can revise, delete, or reduce for the Winter.

  • In the evening, don't watch the news or shows with violence on TV. In fact, don't watch TV at all in the evening. Instead, listen to relaxing music and/or read. This will aid you in sleeping more easily.
  • Exercise during the daylight hours. Don't rush off to the gym after work when it's dark outside. Instead, shift your work-out time to midday.
  • Allow yourself more sleep. Go to bed earlier. Sleep in more on weekends. Take naps.
  • Shift your social activities to daytime hours on the weekend and reduce the evening parties.

Give yourself permission to slow down in the winter. Your body will thank you.

Love,
Kathy


Overcoming the Winter Blahs... Naturally

The lack of light during the short days of our dark winters affects us all, particularly those of us who live in the northern hemisphere.

The Winter Blahs are technically known as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). SAD describes pretty acurately what it's like to experience how the lack of light affects us.

The Winter Blahs aren't relegated to only those who live in Northern locales. People who live in sun-infested states such Florida, California, Nevada also suffer from SAD. In their case, it's a year-long malady, caused by the same thing: lack of sunlight. People in those areas tend to stay indoors to avoid the heat or extreme sun and wear sunglasses while outside, creating the sunless effect of winter all year long.

A few of the things covered in this ebook:

  • How I discovered the Winter Blahs (my story may sound very familiar to you)
  • How modern technology created SAD
  • Your solar batteries - what they are and how to recharge them
  • Natural healing protocols
  • How TV and potato chips increase the effects of SAD

Learn what you can do naturally (without prescription drugs or expensive trips to a tropical country) to relieve the depression and other debilitating symptoms of the Winter Blahs.

Omnidimensional Oracles
Universal Knowledge and Practical Wisdom for Human Evolution

Symbols are greater than what you currently deem them to be. They are powerful beyond your current understanding of them. Their power lies in this one concept:

Symbols hold the energy of the structure of your world
and how it works.

The symbols contained within the pages of this book hold the foundational energy that is the basis of all that exists within all worlds. When used with proper intent, the true purpose and power of these symbols is revealed. They then become oracles of great knowledge and wisdom.

Symbols give structure, meaning, and purpose to the intelligent energy of which all in our world is composed. They bring abstract concepts into our physical world of the Third Dimension and make them substantial so that we can understand them. They bring the invisible energy of our thoughts out into our world and make them visible, tangible.

Of all the beings on our planet, in our dimension, only humans have symbols. All other beings in our here and now have languages by which they communicate using sound and their physical body. It's only humans who have written or drawn symbols which we use for communicating our thoughts to each other.

These Omnidimensional Oracle symbols have been created in partnership with the Omnidimensional Beings and myself to communicate specific energies of conceptual systems of belief by which we humans operate in our world. The written messages that accompany each of the symbols describe their energy, their relationship to our Third Dimensional reality, and how they may be used for the higher purpose of raising frequential vibration of each person and subsequently, that of the collective of humanity.
