Welcome to the winter solstice meditation.
So lie down,
Find a comfortable position,
Close your eyes.
And we'll begin by taking a few deep cleansing and calming breaths.
So breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Now let your body soften.
Let your breath flow gently and naturally.
Let your mind and heart soften.
And we begin this process,
This journey.
From the shadows to the light.
You find yourself now outside during a storm by the ocean.
You decide to take shelter from the weather and walk towards an entrance of a cave nearby.
You see a lit candle as you approach and enter this cave.
You walk towards this candle.
You notice blankets and cushions nearby and sit down in front of it,
Wrapping yourself so you feel cozy and warm,
Listening to the storm outside.
Paying to your breath and watching the candle.
You watch the shadows being cast on the walls,
Patterns and shapes.
You enjoy simply observing.
Sitting in your own power,
Quietly,
Knowing.
You feel wrapped in a safety in this darkness,
With the light of the candle,
A nurturing of your spirit.
Helping you to be reborn anew.
But for now,
You are safe here in the healing shadows.
In the sanctuary,
Found in solace.
Wandering deep within the realms of your own being,
Fearlessly.
The adventure is always within you.
You are both the mystery of the darkness and the illuminated wisdom found in the light.
You fly between these worlds.
Take the essence of love now into these darker parts of your being.
Embrace them.
Find their own unique beauty.
The shadows on the wall begin now to tell a story,
Or deliver a message through symbols just for you.
Take in what you see,
What you feel,
What you know.
When you wake from a fall asleep.
This is a space of growth.
A place where you can plant intentions in the deep dark earth of your being.
They will arise when the light comes,
But for now,
Nurture them.
You can grow lightly.
What is it time for you to plant?
Who is it time for you to begin to become?
Even if you feel uncertain,
A part of you knows.
Listen to this part of you.
And gently,
Silently,
You dwell in this space of these intentions.
Feel these energies.
Feeling safe and warm,
Nestled in the darkness.
Letting your presence explore deeper into this space for you to grow.
For beautiful parts of yourself to unfold.
Letting your presence explore deeper into this space for you to grow.
For beautiful parts of yourself to unfold.
Letting your presence explore deeper into this space for you to grow.
For beautiful parts of yourself to unfold.
Letting your presence explore deeper into this space for you to grow.
For beautiful parts of yourself to unfold.
Letting your presence explore deeper into this space for you to grow.
For beautiful parts of yourself to unfold.
Letting your presence explore deeper into this space for you to grow.
For beautiful parts of yourself to unfold.
Letting your presence explore deeper into this space for you to grow.
Feeling strong.
Feeling secure.
Feeling this power unraveling in you,
Swirling in the darkness of your being.
You rise up and blow out the candle like a wish or a prayer.
Letting your whole body vibrate and you begin to make your way out of this cave.
And as you do you see the ocean has calmed and the sun is beginning to rise.
The light slowly beginning to approach.
The rain softening.
And you gaze upon this scene with your entire being feeling grateful for this whole experience of life.
That peace between worlds,
Between states of being in harmony.
Witness your own growth blooming.
And in the richness of your own power unfolding now.
When you feel ready you can bring your own life into this world.
When you feel ready you can bring your awareness back to your body.
Back to the room around you and walk forward in peace.
Thank you
