Welcome to this Affirmation Meditation for the Yule Season.

Yule,

Or the Winter Solstice,

Is a doorway into wisdom,

Reflection and quiet transformation.

The night of the Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year and marks the moment when the sun begins its gentle return.

With this meditation,

I invite you to slow down and allow the darkness of this season guide you inward,

Surrendering to this fertile,

Liminal space to listen and to reflect on your dreams and visions for the year to come.

Find a comfortable position that feels support for you right now.

You may be seated on the floor or on cushions,

Feeling the ground with your hands.

You may be seated on a chair,

Feeling the earth beneath your feet,

Or lying down,

Feeling your body fully supported by earth beneath you.

Allow yourself to fully arrive in this space.

Let yourself to settle into the stillness and darkness of this season.

And if you feel comfortable,

Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze and arrive in this present moment.

Take a deep,

Cleansing breath,

Inhaling fully.

Notice where you are in your body,

In your breath,

In this moment of pause.

And now,

Repeat after me,

Silently or out loud,

The following affirmations.

I allow myself to slow down and arrive fully in this moment.

I trust the quiet wisdom found in stillness and darkness.

I honor what has supported me along my path.

I gently let go of what no longer serves me.

I soften my heart and make space for forgiveness.

My heart is open and warmth lives within me.

I listen deeply to my inner voice.

I allow my inner vision to take shape.

I plant my intentions with patience and trust.

I commit to what truly matters to me.

I trust the unfolding of my path.

I step into the new year rooted,

Clear,

And open.

Or any time you feel the need to reset,

To let go,

To reconnect,

And to plant new seeds of intention.

Thanks for practicing with me.

Until next time,

With love,

Carolina.

This is my first time trying a Yule ritual. This is a simple, straightforward affirmation meditation perfectly suited for my needs. Namaste’

I found this meditation very grounding and hopeful. The first round of affirmations felt really quick, but I was able to catch up on the second and third rounds. Thank you and happy winter solstice!

This is a peaceful, soothing way to reconnect to self during this quiet, liminal time of year.
