The Gift of the Kidneys

The gift of the kidneys is resourceful-ness, will, motivation and power. The kidneys teach us that power is gathered not by aggression, but by a balance of rest and thoughtful action. That rest and replenishment fuel the resources for will and motivation. That too much doing and action will drain our kidneys and adrenals. Sleep is medicine for the kidneys. Can you give yourself a little more sleep during this dark time of the year? Can you unplug for 15 minutes, and tend to your kidneys, tend to your will and motivation by NOT doing one. More. thing.? Rest fuels the power of the kidneys. This season, when in doubt, take the nap. Your kidneys will thank you for it--all year long.
