π€ β¨οΈ WINTER SOLSTICE, 21 DECEMBER β¨οΈ π€
The Winter Solstice arrives quietly, reminding us that the natural world moves in cycles, not straight lines.
It is the moment when night reaches its deepest point, and the Earth pauses before tilting once more toward the sun. π€π
In this long stretch of darkness, we are invited inward. Just as animals burrow and seeds sleep beneath frozen soil, we too can allow ourselves stillness. The Solstice offers an opportunity to honour rest as a sacred part of growth; physically, emotionally, and spiritually. πβ¨οΈ
Holistically, this Season encourages us to reflect on...
π« Releasing what no longer serves, old habits, outdated beliefs, unresolved tensions. Let them fall like leaves returning to the earth.
π« Cultivating inner warmth, through nourishing foods, meaningful conversation, rituals of gratitude, and moments of solitude.
π« Aligning with natural rhythms, allow for slower mornings, early nights, mindful breaths. The body knows how to respond to winterβs call.
π« Planting intentions in the dark, like seeds held beneath the frost, our dreams can germinate unseen.
Winter Solstice marrying up with yesterday's New Cold Moon, will bring gentle energy and time to envision quietly rather than to act. ππ»
The Solstice reminds us that transformation begins before it becomes visible. We may not yet see the light grow, but its return is already underway. By embracing darkness without fear, by resting, reflecting, and trusting the cycle, we create space for renewed energy when spring comes. π«
In honouring this turning point, we affirm that life contains both contraction and expansion, silence and song. The Winter Solstice becomes a teacher, inviting us to pause, to listen, and to root ourselves deeply before rising again toward the light. π€πβ¨οΈ
