Winter

In some environments, Winter is a cooler, wetter time of year, and some cultures have responded to this harsher weather by brightening their lives with festivals and celebrations. Some countries have no great climate changes, but do have a holiday period tied to their culture.  Whatever your geographical situation, Winter places some stress on the mind and body.  This unit on Winter will provide you with a framework for optimum health and well being in a challenging season.  Click on Pages 178 to 184 to access this section in the Workbook.  The following topics will be covered in this lesson:
