Midwinter blessings and Merry Christmas.
Please sit tall in front of your altar or a window to take in the landscape and light a candle if you would like.
Throughout the winter chills,
Snow and storms,
We become closed to the outside world.
In this meditation we will call on the four directions to feel reconnected and renewed with the qualities of nature.
I call on the north,
The direction of earth,
The land of cold,
Snow and ice,
And the power of stability.
This is the place where you find your ground.
I call on the east,
The direction of air,
The land of the sunrise and source,
And the powers of lightness and awakening.
This is where your heart is full and you feel joy.
I call on the south,
The direction of fire,
The land of courage and resilience,
And the power of igniting your discipline and devotion.
This is the place of resolve.
I call on the west,
Direction of water,
The land of the sunset and endings,
And the power of endless potential.
This is the place where you become the flow.
Now please sit in silence and bask in the qualities and powers of nature.
Let them wash over you.
Now which direction resonated?
Which one left its mark?
Which of these qualities needs to be born in you this winter?
Please bring your hands to your heart center,
Bowing to your higher self,
The self that knows exactly what you need and can bring it forth and set the intention to commit to one direction and to bringing those powers into your being.
Namaste.
