Do you pay attention to what your body’s is telling you during the changing of the season to winter, apart from buying holiday gifts nobody really needs, watching football and eating bad food that isn’t good for you?
Lara Day explains why we must pay far more attention about the seasons from a health perspective and the real benefits of observing the winter solstice this week on Spirit Gym.
Learn more about Lara’s work at her 13 Holy Nights website at 13holynightsoracle.com and on social media via Facebook at facebook.com/larajday and Instagram at instagram.com/larajday .
