Hey there,
My name is Lisa and welcome to your Yuletide Intention Setting and Manifestation Meditation.
Though this meditation was inspired by the winter season and the winter solstice,
I feel that you can embrace these themes at any point within the year.
Yule is an ancient winter festival with roots in pagan tradition.
It is celebrated around the winter solstice,
Or December 20th to the 23rd,
Which marks the shortest day of the year and the longest night of the year.
Yule is a part of that seasonal festival within the wheel of the year within modern pagan and Wiccan traditions to honor the nature-based spiritual practices of this time period of honoring the darkness and welcoming back in the light.
So with that,
Come into your comfortable position whatever that is for you today,
Whether it be lying down cozy by a fire or in bed,
Or whether it be sitting traditionally within your sacred meditation space with incense burning,
But go ahead and find your comfortable position and take a nice big deep inhale into the belly and exhale,
Sigh out,
Let go and exhaling on out and last big deep breath in and exhale noticing the cool energy around you the desire to seek warmth and comfort the darkness maybe that envelops this time period that tends to set an energy that sometimes makes us want to slow down the darkness where transformation is born where lessons are learned the womb where things can be healed and the seeds of light are planted and I invite you to reflect on the past year so far all the good the celebrations and all the things that must be grieved breathing into that reflection and exhale letting the rest of the world go and letting the darkness of this time period not be something to be afraid of for it is mysterious and can represent the unknown but it can be the birthplace,
That womb where from the unknown the known is born where we will not be able to see the stars if all there is is light and from this space I invite you to really physically slow down can you slow your breath and luscious slow exhale can you soften any points of tension within the body can you embrace the ending for the ending gives birth to the new beginning and I invite you to visualize what energy of light you wish to invite into this season this season of winter,
Of yule,
Of holidays and family and celebration or maybe of slowing down but whatever energy you wish to invite in now is the time to visualize what your spirit is calling most for what is being born within you at this present moment and exhale and from this energy,
This light of what you wish to invite in know that that is a promise that darkness brings that balance that no matter how dark this day can get it promises the balance of light,
Your light,
Your intention and what you wish to manifest for this yuletide season for yourself,
Maybe even for others for your loved ones and from here I invite you to set intention from the light from that energy you wish to cultivate let this intention symbolize hope and renewal let this intention bring you into alignment with this energy so that it may manifest in your everyday reality set the intention as if you are lighting a room full of candles let this intention illuminate your holiday season no matter the darkness that comes in this intention is here waiting for you to always come back and keep its light burning take a nice big deep inhale into the body and exhale letting the rest go and I thank you so much for joining me for this yuletide intention setting meditation and I thank you so much for joining me until next time my friend so many blessings and namaste
