I spent the majority of my life doing all the things, forcing things to happen, running to and running away from all the things before I discovered that there is another way. No wonder I was burnt out. I had completely lost sight of who I was and what I wanted.

Christina Cecconi is one of the loudest voices in my life who reminds me of the other way. She reminds me that rest is not just for the weary, that there is space in my life to slow down, that something magical happens when you allow rather than force and grasp,  and most importantly, that I am loved for being, not just for doing and accomplishing. She writes me permission slip after permission slip when I can't write them for myself. 

In today's episode, we connect over the energetics of slowing down and flowing with the Winter season and Water Element and I hope you pick up one of these permission slips for yourself.

What You'll Learn in this Episode: 

  • The energetics of descending into Yin
  • The Medicine of "being" instead of "doing"
  • How your Body communicates when you do not allow rest 
  • The connection between the Water Element and Fear
  • How to use manifestations of Earth and Wood to ground Fear 
  • Why there is wisdom in stillness when your life is in chaos


Christina Cecconi uses the timeless wisdom of Classical Chinese Medicine to help cultivate genuine wellbeing in our present day lives. Trained as a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Christina runs her clinical practice, Hinoki Wellness, in Vancouver, BC where she offers gentle esoteric acupuncture and lifestyle medicine.
