Embracing Winter: Meditation and Human Hibernation with Michael Todd Fink

Winter can feel like an endless night, but what if those cold, dark months were actually nature's way of helping us recharge? In this episode of 'Kind Mind', Michael Todd Fink dives into the idea that seasonal affective disorder and winter blues might be evolutionary tools designed to help mammals, including humans, withdraw and survive tough conditions. Fink compares this natural withdrawal to the practice of meditation, which seeks to find inner light even during life's darkest periods.
Just as the winter solstice represents a turning point towards longer days, meditation can prepare our minds to accept life's ups and downs with grace. Drawing parallels between human hibernation and meditation, Fink invites listeners to reflect on the gifts they've been nurturing during their own periods of retreat. What will you bring forth when the time is right?
This episode is a thought-provoking exploration of how we can find hope and resilience in the cycles of nature and our own lives.
