Celebrate the day with a wonderful full body stretch with Brett Larkin on Akimboo.com. This 12 minute release will connect your heart with the universe.
Celebrate the return of the light. Solstice can be a magical contemplative time. A time of spiritual reconnection and ritual. Many people celebrate renewal, rebirth, and gratitude for the coming light. Some refer to solstice as the rebirth of the sun. Not coincidentally, Christmas celebrates the birth of the Son.
Many ways to Celebrate
There is no right or wrong way to celebrate winter solstice. Symbolically, solstice can be a time of turning inward, connecting with intuition and inner voice. Meditating, singing, and writing are powerful ways to connect with your inner world.
Embrace the Dark
As the sun sets, you can turn off lights and electronic devices. Light candles. Meditate on gratitude or on living joyfully.
Create a ritual for letting go
Gather around an outdoor fire and celebrate the return of the light. Write down anything you may want to let go of and toss it into the fire. Bask in the warm glow of the fire.
Call Your Friends
Decorate your home with seasonal gifts such as fir branches and pine cones. Invite friends and toast to the return of the sun. Share your light with friends. Socializing is powerful medicine. It is good to know I am not alone!
Toast a Drink to Strength
Wherever you are, lift a glass of something celebratory and toast to your continued good health. Reflect on the joys in your life for which you are grateful.
Light a Fire
If you don't have a fireplace, light a candle. Spend a few minutes in quiet meditation breathing and gazing gently at the flicker of your tiny fire.
Guided Meditations
Sit or lie down with a guided meditation to connect your heart mind and body to the power of the cosmos. This three minute guided meditation takes you on a visualization to feel interconnected and calm.
