Merry Winter Solstice 2015!
Are you ready for the new energy coming our way?
I love this night, the longest night of the year. I find it mysterious, empowering, challenging and exciting!
For the past few years, the Winter Solstice has become more than just a seasonal change for me. It not only officially marks the start of winter; there's something else that shifts during this time.
To be honest, I used to think all the Solstice rituals, Aztec Calendar theories, and 2012 predictions were just a bunch of New Age hocus pocus. But then, I started paying attention. I started noticing the subtle and not-so-subtle changes happening in my own life as the Solstice approached. I noticed a shift in my outlook and energy. And it wasn't just me – I saw changes in my clients, colleagues, and friends too.
These shifts even affected my energy work. I began to connect with more Guides, channeling more precise energy, and gaining a newfound confidence. This experience has made me realize just how special and sacred this night truly is.
One of the things I absolutely love about the Winter Solstice is its quietness, coupled with an undeniable energy swirling in the air. If you take the time to truly listen, you might just hear your Guides speaking to you. You might receive messages from your animal spirit allies or even love notes from departed loved ones. It's a night brimming with deep magic, hope, and opportunities to learn and grow.
Most importantly, this is a night where you have the chance to heal. It's a special night where you can gather all the different pieces of yourself, even those you've been hiding away, and integrate them into a whole. Let go of whatever's been holding you back and take that leap towards healing.
The Winter Solstice holds incredible power and potential. Embrace its enchantment and allow yourself to experience the beauty of this night.
As I write this, I see the ancient Egyptian Goddess Isis coming forth with her deep blue wings, opened wide to welcome you in her embrace. She is ready to help you on your journey to feeling whole, spiritually connected, empowered. You only need to accept her Love and her help.
In her mythology, she travelled up and down the Nile River to find the pieces of her husband, the God Osiris, who had been dismembered by his vengeful brother in a struggle for the Egyptian throne. Isis found all the pieces, created the first mummy, and the first mummification ritual to bring Osiris back to life. In doing so, she also brought back Light (Osiris is the Sun God) and order to the Kingdom. Hers was a journey of Love, of service, and deep life-giving magic for the highest good of all. I love that she is stepping forward to be our guide this year! She is one of the most ancient and powerful goddesses; let's get ourselves ready to work with her!
How?
Here are a few ideas:
Give yourself some quiet time to reflect on pieces of you that you have left behind due to pain, shame, or the need to fit in. Is it a funky, spunky part of your personality? Is it your inner rebel? Is it the part of you that truly believes in magic? The part of you that believes in true love? Write about it in a journal, or draw a picture, or paint what this piece means to you. Then close your eyes, and ask for help to make peace and find forgiveness. Know that you are now strong enough to reintegrate that piece of you in your current life. See yourself bringing that piece of you in your body. Where does it fit? Your heart? A chakra? Breathe it in, feel it... and take time to rest. Now that you acknowledge that piece of you, what is possible for you?
Put on your favourite music, and move your body! Dance! Too often, we allow our minds to direct our life... for just a few songs, allow for your heart and your spirit to move you. Find balance as you integrate your body, your spirit, your soul. Enjoy your body and how it moves. Speak lovely things to your body. Listen for its wisdom.
Light a deep blue candle in a gold dish. Burn incense. Meditate on your biggest dream, your biggest desire. Ask for the courage and strength to find all the pieces of the puzzle, all the resources you need, and the wisdom to see your dream or desire manifest. Remember that your quest will include action, not just wishful thinking. Ask about your next right action step, listen for the answer, and DO IT.
Enjoy this special night filled with nurturing energies that are here to support you on your journey towards greatness! Always remember the beauty and magic that reside within you. You may feel alone at times, especially during the darkest nights, but rest assured that you are not alone. As you step into this new energetic portal, do so with grace and embrace the feelings of wholeness and enchantment that await you.
If you could use some extra assistance, I would be delighted to help you rediscover parts of yourself that you may have buried deep within. These forgotten pieces of you may be hiding beneath beliefs and patterns, or they may feel heavy and sluggish in your chakras. Perhaps they even manifest as an empty space in your heart. Through a session with me, let's explore what can shift and unlock the potential within you.
Know that I am surrounding you with love and sincerely wish you abundant joy in this new year.
