Day 1
As we come to a new day in a new month, there begins a shift in the energies around me. I usually have a long an silent walk through the month of November. There are heavy energies that mix and mingle in the time between Samhain and Yule. For me, it is the time that reaches out for silence… However, the messages are not subtle ones at all. Instead, they grab at my heart and mind, demanding the silence my body, mind, and spirit desperately needs. I happily grant myself this reflection period. And now, as we turn the calendar page from November to December, I also try to shift my focus a bit as well.
Keeping in the spirit of stillness and silent reflection that this period brings, I try to reflect on how I can tend to my light within my heart as we await its rebirth at Yule. As a personal ritual, I do this from December 1st through the 21st. With meditation, journaling, candle lighting, and silence, I offer myself this space and time to explore my depths and look to understand what my personal responsibility is within this ever changing world. This year, I will share part of that with you. From now until December 21st, I will post something each day to hopefully inspire you to be part of the process and to maybe do the same. I encourage you to offer yourself a few sacred moments within your busy day to hold yourself in compassion, love, understanding, and with curiosity. Explore your depths. Breathe life into your heart. Dare yourself to dream and to summon your creative spark to birth the life you wish to experience. I hope to see you on this sacred journey to the rebirth of light as we prepare for Yule.
Blessings to you!
