Living the Dark

This week let's celebrate the Dark of the Year.

We all know it's rediculous to be afraid of the Dark, but cultural associations with Darkness remain strong, and it seems almost natural to be uncomfortable with this time of the year..

So, we'll talk about the gifts that this time of the year bring us - such as much needed rest! And much needed introspection as well.

And we'll take a look at the Dark Side of Your Moon. You know when the Dark of your Moon is showing up whenever you find yourself in emotional turmoil. Understanding this will help you put yourself right.

Then I want to share some thoughts about using the energy of Surrendering in this Dark Time.

And that will bring us to a talk from Echart Tolle on the Deeper Dimensions of Stillness.

Finally, I have some recipes to help you fend off winter-related illnesses.

Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

Some of the music you'll hear on this weeks show include Nuit:"Mother Night"; Loreena McKennitt: "Dark Night of the Soul"; Wendy Rule: "Frost at Midnight"; Scott Helland: "Extreme Files Under Strange Black Twilight"; Orchis: "He Walks in Winter" and more.
