The Solstice Light Prepares The Way

This meditative talk invites you to honor the turning of the seasons by making space for more light within yourself. Through gentle reflection and imagery, you are guided to clear away the old — outdated thoughts, emotions, and patterns — and open your inner space for renewal. As light returns to the world, you are reminded of your own capacity to hold peace, gratitude, and joy. Let this solstice moment help you turn inward, release what no longer serves, and welcome the spark of new beginnings.

Light returns to half the world and begins to disappear from the other half.

For those who celebrate Light's return,

It is a worthy thing,

For Light represents the purest part of you,

And we always celebrate any increase of Light capacity for what we are talking about,

Is the opportunity during the pause to create space for more capacity of Light.

Carving out from the deep inner cave those rusty,

Curled up,

No longer useful aspects,

Ideas,

Behaviors,

Relationships,

And sweeping them out to make space,

To increase the capacity for that which is fresh and new and exactly what you want.

This is what the Solstice has to offer,

And you can still take advantage of this time.

You can do it right now.

Dive deep down,

My friends,

Deep into your cave.

Hold a candle high and look in all the corners,

All the crevices,

All the hidey holes.

Sweep them out,

All the old grievances,

All the disappointments,

Even the grief,

If you can.

Even your disgruntledness about how the world is going.

Sweep,

Allowing the smoke to drift upwards and out,

Carrying the ashes of what no longer serves.

Now feel that empty,

Open space within you.

Breathe into it,

Filling the cavity.

When you have a sense of your cavernous self,

Open a little tiny window at the top of the cave and allow the first little speckles of light to drift down.

Little fireflies,

Little light ideas,

Lightness of being,

Little sparkles of love,

Of hope.

Let it start to fill that cavernous cave within you.

And the heart feels not so heavy.

The heart feels joyful,

Grateful,

At peace.

This is what we can do,

Friends,

On a regular basis.

You can sweep the cavern and open the window.

Take this practice with you throughout the year.

Whenever you feel burdened or tired,

Let it help you turn the corner.

And restore yourself back to a light-filled being.
