Hello Bright Light!
For those of us who dwell in the Northern Hemisphere, winter solstice marks the longest night and shortest day of the year. Meanwhile, on the day of the December solstice, the Southern Hemisphere has its longest day and shortest night.
This special day is TODAY, Friday, December 21!
No matter where you live on Earth, a solstice is a signal to reflect and celebrate!!!
I ADORE this time of year and am peaking out from my Christmas elf-work to share holy-days best wishes
to you and yours with a little Winter Solstice GIFT!!!
It’s dark and cold outside this time of year where I live near Portland, Oregon. I have a fire in the wood stove and candles lit as I write this note.
Inside, many homes, families and communities, heart flames of love and generosity are bursting forth in flurries of spiritual and relational gatherings, celebrations, and gift exchanges.
I find the essence of these rituals of Light and “Giving” very beautiful and symbolic of the true meaning of the season.
Where would we be without the sun ? ? ?
In the spirit of joy-in-giving, I want to acknowledge and celebrate my past and current soul-coach clients, course participants, and eZine readers, with the replay of a very special video offering I created and shared last year.
Thank you for sharing your fiery heart LIGHT with me this year!!!!
The video is called, Winter Solstice: An Illumination of Possibility and takes about 5 minutes to view. It illuminates the some of the symbolism of Winter Solstice and invites you into a few moments
for contemplation and prayer to honor the SOURCE OF LIGHT. Enjoy feeling-into the images as a visual meditation to deepen the experience.
Something I learned from the forest is that, although many of the trees in my backyard appear to be dead right now, it's during the winter that their roots are most intensely growing!!!
What's happening in the quiet "dark" provides a more solid root system for the trees future thriving when the light returns.
May your roots grow deep and strong into the
GROUND OF BEING
and may you burst forth with new life
(realizations and desired manifestations)
in Divine right timing!
Love Always,
Georgette Star MA, D.Min
