Embracing the Energy of the Solstice and Winter

Winter in the Northern Hemisphere gives us the perfect opportunity to embark on self-reflection and spiritual growth.

Creating a sacred space, honouring the time for solitude and taking the time to reflect can lead you on a path of self-discovery.

The cold and dark of winter is an opportune time to turn inward, reflect on the past year and ask: What did I learn? What do I want to release? Have I honoured myself in areas of health, wealth, connection, goals and intentions? What have been my joys and struggles?

Here is a simple ritual to bring you into a space of reflection:

·        Find a quiet space.

·        Purify it by burning sage or a favourite incense.

·        Light a candle and gaze into for a few minutes to quiet your mind.

·        Focus on your breath… inhaling deep into your body and exhaling fully.

·        Give gratitude to the past year. Being thankful for the lessons and the gifts.

·        Think of the parts that were significant in your year.

If you wish to journal on the above questions, now is the perfect time.
