February Defrost

Come and warm yourself with some gentle February intentions.

The days are getting longer!

It might be cold, it might be rainy. But it’s February, there is more light every single day, and there are bulbs making an early appearance! We are coming to the end of the colder months. I am leaning into every sunny moment, enjoying the steam off my coffee, looking for signs of life in the garden. Good times are coming!

The first of February is Imbolc on the Celtic Calendar

Halfway between the winter solstice (the shortest day) and the spring equinox, when the day and night are the same length, Imbolc tells us that brighter days are on there way! We’ll see snowdrops soon! Otherwise known as the fire festival, it’s all about warmth ~ fires and candles, blankets and hearty meals.

Where is the warmth?

What feels warm for you right now? Is it the external warmth of a fire or a cosy jumper, the emotional warmth of a hug from a friend, the internal warmth from moving your body. Do you have a favourite mug, blanket or comfort read?

What warm thing can I lean into this month? What feels good and nurturing to your soul. Feel how your body relaxes into the sensation of care.
