WINTER SOLSTICE: YULE 2025
by Grandmother Winter Jade Forest
Here we are, once again, smack in the middle of a busy holiday season rush, just when we should be able to honor the time in our calendar year of deepest rest. We can feel our bodies wanting to slow down, and our minds are longing for some peace and quiet.
This is the season meant for resting and dreaming. It’s the time of “THE BIG GO WITHIN” – a time to visit the space of our own sacred cosmic void, and sit quietly there, where all our possibilities exist. Once we can convince our mind to be receptive and patient, it is not unusual that a new dream may arise with all its potential for realization. All we have to do is rest, recharge, and incubate the dream.
Just as seeds lie dormant and protected in the body of Mother Gaia, the seed of our personal and spiritual awakening is in a latent state within us. It is preparing for greater understanding and expression of our true radiant and luminous nature.
Yes, the Winter Solstice may be the longest and darkest night of the year, but it also marks the return of the Light! So, dare to dive into the darkness. It is there you will discover the alchemy of the soul that brings you to the threshold of illuminating your genuine authenticity and sovereignty.
A WINTER SOLSTICE invitation:
Come to the Shrine Room at Heartwood on Solstice Eve from 4:00-6:00, Saturday, December 20. Give a couple of needed hours of repair and restoration to your body, mind, heart and soul. Join us in a meditative journey into the essence of Yule. We welcome you!
