Newsletter: Tis the Season
Tis the season to be merry and bright.
It is also the season that can bring to light difficult thoughts and feelings about life. The days are short and the nights longer in the northern hemisphere, it is a time of turning inward. In a world that encourages us to look outward for our worth, this can be a task that churns up hurt. Winter is a stripping away of the dead branches we may be carrying that keep us in patterns of lack. This is a kind of hurt that needs understanding to shift the story.
Winter solstice, where the sun is at a “standstill” is a time to honor what is shedding and what needs pruning on the darker days. Some things are too heavy to take with us. Sometimes we carry the pain and burdens of those who came before us. The pain we didn’t process from past experiences can get recycled into the next story. We don’t want to keep building walls that others laid down before us. The cycles of the seasons are a beautiful remembrance to let old structures crumble to compost new beginnings and write a new narrative.
To be the architect and artist of your dreams takes skill and commitment. I have a client who was writing the same story in her life. Different picture but the same energetic signature in her work life, with her family, and with her boyfriend. As she did the healing inner work to change her part, everything shifted in her relationships. She cleaned up her side of the street and she was able to see clearly how to move forward and stop repeating cycles of codependency and neediness. Her dead branches became kindling wood and she reclaimed her inner fire.
We all have to go through cycles of death and rebirth to stay alive to our dreams and desires. It is not a quick fix or instant gratification. To honor the darkness of winter is a beautiful ritual to rekindle our flame that is eternal. Setting the seeds of intention and how we want to bring that light forth can be the guiding force to write new stories.
Tis the season to be in an honest relationship with where you are in your life, whatever road you are on. There are no dead ends but there are necessary endings. Things end and that is devastating at times, they also lay down the road for new beginnings. As the sun slowly emerges so too does our capacity to hold our light and share that in the world.
May you find time to Celebrate this season of renewal. Follow the energy that makes you feel alive and what lights you up from inside.
Love and Solstice blessings,
