The Winter Solstice:

Embracing the Dark and Welcoming the Light

The Winter Solstice is a time to pay homage to the darkness,

reflect on that which has passed,

and welcome the returning light.

The Winter Solstice is one of the 4 most powerful days of the year, marking the darkest, or shortest, day of light in the Northern Hemisphere. 

It is during this potent time that we find sanctity in the Dark, the Void, and the Mysteries dwelling within our shadow human aspects. These dimensions are not only holy and precious but also hold the deepest forms of medicine. Especially now! Especially at this time on the planet, my fellow Lightworkers.

How is rich, dark, nutrient-dense soil created? 

It is born from death.  

 The fertile, black soil of our lives is comprised of the decomposition and transformation of death, of the muck, the ugly, the hard and the painful.

The dark times actually create the perfect environment and catalyst for profound growth and new beginnings. Our fears, struggles and dark nights -when embraced - are the very elements that foster the emergence of New Life.

Have you experienced any of this this past year? I know I sure have!

When we can accept and bow to the dark or heavy experiences - instead of falling victim to them - we can then utilize this medicine/compost. Compost that is chock-full of all the minerals, elements and nutrients that create the ideal fertile conditions for growth, new Life, and new beginnings. 

We are the alchemists that transmute adversity and death into the sweetest medicine and nectar, not only for ourselves, but for the rest of the world.
