Hello beautiful soul,
Welcome to this winter solstice meditation.
The winter solstice is a moment of pause,
A standing still of the sun,
And with that it invites us to pause,
To shift directions,
To set intentions for the upcoming cycle.
We acknowledge the darkness and we celebrate the return of the light as from the moment of the solstice,
The winter solstice,
The days start to become longer,
The nights become shorter again.
I invite you to get comfortable for the next 20 minutes or so and to go on a journey with me.
Allow yourself to be guided by my voice and see what wishes to be acknowledged in your being.
I invite you to put away any distractions and to really gift yourself this time and space.
Have a beautiful journey.
Finding a comfortable position,
Either seated or laying down,
And ensure you're warm enough,
Cosy,
Perhaps with an eye mask on,
Your eyes,
To really go as deeply inwards as possible.
Once you find yourself in this most comfortable position,
Start to deepen your breath,
Allowing the belly to expand that little bit further,
And softening your body.
When we soften,
We can create space.
We allow insights to come in and to really feel and acknowledge what's going on inside of us.
If you get emotional,
Please allow these emotions to flow through you.
They just wish to be seen.
From the comfort of your space,
The body is going to stay in place.
Your consciousness is going to travel to a beautiful place in nature.
You are safe and guided.
I ask spirit to weave a beautiful golden bubble around your physical body so that you can be truly present for this journey.
I invite your consciousness to go to a forest that you know,
Or a forest that calls you,
You might never have been there yet.
It's early morning when you arrive there,
Your feet walking on crackling leaves and twigs,
And you make your way to an open place in the forest where a fire is waiting for you.
In many traditions,
Fires are burnt to honor the returning sun.
You walk up to the fire and find a log right next to the fire.
You sit down and allow the warmth of the flames to heat you up.
Above you,
The sky is beautiful.
The stars are sparkling.
You feel at ease.
You close down your eyes.
Allow yourself to fully absorb the sounds of nature around you.
You become more relaxed.
Let your heart really melt into that log,
Soothed by the crackling of the fire in front of you.
Your soul brought you here to journey with you today.
With every breath,
You've come here to celebrate the winter solstice,
The rebirth of the sun.
With this rebirth,
We look back upon the four seasons past.
Since last year's winter solstice,
What has occurred?
Can you take a mental note of some of the largest milestones,
The most important experiences you went through?
Walking through and acknowledging these moments with gratitude,
With love.
In your heart,
You awaken the memories of these moments and reminisce.
Thank you,
Life,
For these moments,
For the incredible experiences you've had,
The connections you've deepened or new connections that were created,
Projects and creations that were birthed or completed,
And so much more.
Can you acknowledge your own growth over the past four seasons?
Your heart swells up with love and joy as you mentally walk through your year.
Allow this feeling to expand all throughout your body.
Thank you.
Let's now move to those things we wish to let go of.
In front of you,
A little ethereal box,
The most beautiful,
Pristine,
Golden box,
Appears.
And in this box,
You get to energetically offload anything that you don't wish to take into this new cycle.
Thinking back to any disagreements,
Any grief you may have experienced,
Any beliefs or patterns that just no longer align with you.
Perhaps some relationships or people that you are ready to let go of with love and gratitude.
So just imagine that all of these unaligned things flow,
Fly into this box,
Creating space in your being.
And when you think you're done,
Keep going for a few more moments.
What behaviors have you been portraying that just no longer suit you,
That are not your most divine self?
This box fills up bit by bit,
And you start feeling lighter.
More space is appearing in your heart,
In your chest.
You feel optimistic,
Happy and joyful.
Taking just one more moment to allow the last unaligned things to flow into this box.
The box closes.
You place your hand on top of the lid and say,
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
With a little nudge,
You give the box permission to go back to the light and to let go of all of what you just placed into this box.
Now,
Let's move to the energies or the seeds you wish to plant on this beautiful solstice day.
What do you wish to step into?
Let's envision sitting here again one year from now at the next winter solstice.
What would you like to give gratitude for?
In front of you appears a golden plant pot with golden seeds.
A golden soil,
A divine vessel for your wishes and desires.
And in the same way,
You can plant the desires and wishes that appear in your heart,
In your mind,
In this golden soil.
Everything is possible.
All resources are available.
What would you like to call forward in your life?
Taking a few moments of silence to do so.
The soil of this plant pot starts to get filled with all the seeds of your desires and wishes.
Your expansion.
For we live in an infinite universe and all is possible.
Your wildest dreams can come into fruition.
Planting the last of your desires and dreams for this moment into the golden soil.
And now wrapping your hands around this pot.
Allowing the glow,
The power,
The energy from your heart to beam all the way through your arms,
Through your palms,
Into the soil.
Now,
Giving the seeds their first nourishment.
Send all the love you can to these seeds.
And allow this feeling to expand all throughout your being.
The energy grows,
And your central channel fills up with energy.
You're connected to the heaven,
To the cosmos,
And deeply into the earth.
The fire is still crackling away,
Also blessing these seeds.
You bring a big smile to your face and feel yourself still.
Stepping into this new version of you,
You notice it starts to get lighter behind your closed eyelids.
And on the horizon,
The first beams of sunlight appear.
You find that you're positioned exactly in front of the sun.
And the first rays touch the soil,
Bringing precious light and life force energy to your seeds.
These seeds will grow and expand,
Sprout in divine timing.
You can feed them with your love,
Your trust,
Your joy.
Your good energy.
And when you follow your intuition,
You will receive the exact steps and actions to take to fully embody this new version of you.
The rays of the sun become brighter,
And you should slowly open up your eyes to witness the rising of the sun on this winter solstice.
Your heart is filled with so much gratitude.
Your eyes well up and a tear rolls over your cheek.
What a time to be alive.
The rays of the sun kiss your skin and activate your aliveness as well.
You absorb all this beautiful sunlight and bask.
The seeds have received all the nourishment they need for now.
You let go of the plant pot,
And it flies off to the light to be nourished,
To come to fruition.
You take a couple of deep breaths,
There in front of the fire.
And you direct a beautiful smile to the sun.
Thank you,
Sun.
Your journey comes to completion,
And your consciousness says goodbye.
You start to travel back to where your physical body is in this timeline.
Taking a couple of deep breaths,
You start to notice your physical body.
And feel the shifts that are present in your body.
You've done some beautiful work with the support of the sun.
You're at a turning point.
You're stepping wildly and boldly into this new version of yourself.
Allowing your breath to expand.
And starting to bring slow,
Gentle movements into your toes,
Into your fingers.
Acknowledging your surroundings,
The chair,
The bat,
Bed,
The mat you're on.
And then ever so gently,
Starting to come back into your space.
Giving yourself,
Perhaps,
Some time and space to journal.
On any of the things that came up for you during this journey.
Making sure to drink plenty of water,
Or herbal teas,
And going out into nature,
If you can.
Thank you so much for joining.
I wish you a most beautiful season ahead.
Until we meet again,
Bye for now.
