#121 Winter, The Water Element and Rest with Tahnee & Mason Taylor
It's time again for our guiding seasonal podcast with Tahnee and Mason, where they tune into the energetics, undertones, and wisdom of the season within Daoism. With 30 days of Jing in full swing, and people easing back off stimulants, this episode couldn't have landed at a better time. In Daoism, the season of Winter is associated with the element of water and the wonderful Kidneys. The Kidneys are the bedrock of our yin/yang energy, a storehouse for our Jing, and govern the regulation of fluids in our body. Of all the seasons, Winter is the most Yin. The beauty to be found in this season comes from allowing space for introspection, reflection, restoration, and the inner alchemy of the kidneys, transforming fear into wisdom. As with all the seasons we move through, Tahnee and Mason translate a fluent foundation of what embodying this season looks like; The warming foods to eat, herbs to have on hand, and practices that best support us, both in this season and in this point in time collectively. Dress for the elements, protect your Qi with layers and woolies, observe Mother Nature; And as the sun sets early and rises late, so should we flow with her motion and allow our bodies to rest, and consolidate our essence into Jing. Tune in Mase and Tahnee discuss: -The energetics of Winter. -Why rest is crucial in Winter. -Herbs and foods for Winter. -Observing fear-kidney related. -Transforming fear into wisdom. -Balancing Yin and Yang energy. -The esoteric nature of the Kidneys. -The Water element and the Kidneys. -What menstruation blood says about our Jing essence. -Practices and meditations to support us through Winter.

#118 Are You Dehydrated? Hydrate with Tracy Duhs
Tracy Duhs is a modern wellness hydration expert that has devoted her life to helping people awaken their vitality and feel alive. An educator, founder of two naturopathic clinics, and host of the podcast 'Hydrate with Tracy Duhs'; Through research on the vibrational frequency of the voice, sound, and how it affects our immune system, Tracy's approach to healing took a turning point. "I found out that our bodies are 98.9% water molecules, and water is the source-receiver of all information that we're in contact with. I realised that the words I was saying, and thoughts I was thinking we're imprinting the body of water that I am". For a deeper understanding of this theory, you needn't look any further than Dr. Masaru Emoto's work around crystals formed in frozen water and the changes that occur when concentrated thoughts are directed towards them. Emoto discovered that water from clear springs and water exposed to loving words showed radiant, complex, and colourful snowflake patterns. Contrastingly, polluted water, or water exposed to negative thoughts, formed incomplete patterns with dull colours. Tracy's education and healing work is underpinned by the belief that our cells have their own innate intelligence, and by removing the obstacles for healing, giving the body the building blocks for biogenesis, and allowing our cells to do what they know how to do, we can thrive in good health. In this energised chat, Mason and Tracy discuss the nature and different qualities of water, with Tracy giving her best guidance on how to access mineral-rich water, build back up filtered water, and the types of adulterated, traumatised water we should avoid. Be sure to tune in for this epic information, and so much more! Mason and Tracy discuss: -Eating for hydration. -Quinton and its benefits. -The fourth phase of water. -Deuterium depleted water. -The crystalline structure of water. -Hydration through your movement. -The benefits of molecular hydrogen. -Creating a hydration focused lifestyle. -Why hydration is not just about water. -Gratefulness to build up the structure of water in our body. -Filtered water; Not as good for your health as you may think. -Metabolic water; The purest most deuterium depleted, structured water there is.
