Healing Happens in Seasons—not Overnight

Hi loves,

Something I’ve been reflecting on lately is how much our healing journey mirrors the natural world.

One of my teachers once told me people are just like plants. 

Our core basic needs include:

• Sunlight

• Water

• Salts

  
  

Now  let’s look at the flip side what we get exposed to without really thinking about it:

• Synthetic blue lights have been proven to harm us.

• Dead de-mineralized water has been proven to create oxidation (cell death).

• Sodium isolated from its trace minerals has been proven deadly to our blood.

We are part of nature—not separate from it—yet we often expect ourselves to heal in a straight upward line. 

It’s easy to get mentally hi-jacked when you’re doing everything “right” and symptoms pop up, you hit a low and you begin to question all your choices. 

But real healing is not static. A patient once described her experience like playig the arcade game "Whack A-Mole", just as you overcome one thing, another surfaces. Yet, Nature is not static, And neither are we.

When we look at the cycle of the four seasons, we see that each one carries a purpose…and each one is necessary.

Let's break it down:

🌱 Spring — New Beginnings

Spring is the season of hope, curiosity, and renewal. In healing, this is when we start to feel little sparks again—new habits forming, new perspectives taking root, or simply the feeling of “maybe I really can change.” It’s the beginning of possibility.

☀️ Summer — Growth & Expansion

Summer is when energy rises. This is when the work we’ve done starts to show. We feel more open, more connected, more in our power. In healing, Summer looks like momentum, confidence, and the desire to express who we really are.

🍂 Fall — Release & Reflection

Autumn teaches us something powerful: healing requires letting go. Old identities, old stories, old habits, old wounds that no longer define us. This is the season of honesty and discernment. It’s where we harvest the wisdom from our experiences with gratitude and release what no longer nourishes us.

❄️ Winter — Rest & Restoration

Winter is the most misunderstood season—but it’s also the most essential. In healing, Winter is the deep inner work. It’s rest, stillness, and the quiet space where our nervous system finally recalibrates. Without Winter, Spring can’t happen. Without rest, regeneration is impossible.

Here’s the truth:

Your healing journey isn’t stalled.

It isn’t behind.

It isn’t “not working.”

You’re simply in a season. 

And seasons change.

And every season has value.

When we stop resisting Winter…When we stop rushing Spring…When we stop overextending in Summer…When we stop clinging in Fall…

We finally begin to heal in a way that lasts.

This month, I invite you to tune into the season of Gratitude. 

In the book “Joy the Surrender to the Body and to Life” the emotion of Joy is described as having the highest frequency possible in human experience.  Yet, joy cannot be experienced without Gratitude, the 2 must coexist, perhaps you could say they are 1 in the same.

Ask yourself:

• What is my purpose?  

• What do I want?

• What am I ready to transform?

  
  

Your body already knows these rhythms. Your soul already understands these cycles.

Healing is about balance and harmony.  We are a living symphony.  The living journey is simply remembering how to exist in harmony with our own self, which naturally puts us in harmony with all around us.

The only real healer is you.

With love and wholeness,

Jenine, Mathew, Grandpa Vern, Everley and Aria.

From Our Heart to Yours.
