Healing Through the Seasons: A Taoist Summer
I used to suffer horribly from Seasonal Affective Disorder (it’s called SAD for a reason!). I dreaded every winter: its dark days, and the trees with no leaves.

Deeply Daily Breathwork (A Taoist’s Autumn)
The closest I ever came to labeling myself is right before your eyes: a gluten free yogi. But if I had the nerve to label myself, I would see the term Taoist float to the surface.

Heart Opening, Nearing Winter’s End
Once plagued by a yearly bout of the winter blues, I sit here this Valentine’s Day, with complete surrender to the season. Forcing our will against the inevitable never plays out favorably.
