This meditation is designed to help you slow down and embrace deep rest.

Now let's begin.

Find a comfortable position,

Either sitting or lying down.

Close your eyes gently and take a deep breath.

With each inhale and exhale,

Become aware of the stillness around you.

Feel the peace of this moment,

Allowing the outside world to fade away.

Imagine yourself surrounded by a soft,

Gentle light,

Like the pale glow of a winter moon.

This light is comforting and warm,

Wrapping around you like a cozy blanket.

Visualize a winter landscape,

A world blanketed in snow.

Picture the serene stillness,

The quiet beauty of nature and its dormant state.

As you observe this scene,

Feel a sense of calm washing over you.

Inhale deeply,

Drawing in the crisp winter air,

And exhale,

Releasing any lingering tension.

As you continue to breathe,

Allow your mind to wander to the winter within you.

The areas of your life that may be in hibernation,

Awaiting renewal and growth.

Now set an intention for the winter season.

What do you wish to release with the dark nights of winter?

And what do you wish to invite in with the returning light of spring?

Visualize these intentions as seeds planted in the fertile soil of your soul.

With each breath,

Imagine the light within you growing brighter,

Symbolizing the gradual return of energy,

Inspiration,

And warmth.

Sense the appreciation for the coming days,

Knowing that like the earth,

You are moving towards a season of new beginnings.

With each breath,

Embrace the knowing that there will be a time to take action,

To move with vigor and haste.

But for the next few months,

This is your time to release,

To plant new intentions and dreams,

And to indulge in slowness and rest.

Allow yourself to go to bed early,

To enjoy the warmth of a hearty stew,

Indulge in warm baths and a good book.

Allow your mind,

Body,

And soul to rest and be still.

Nature is our reflection,

And if you were to look outdoors and observe Mother Nature,

She too is resting.

As this meditation comes to a close,

Express gratitude for the stillness,

The darkness,

And the promise of light.

Carry this sense of peace and intention with you as you slowly open your eyes.

Thank you for listening,

And have a wonderful day.
