The days are getting darker, as we move towards the Winter Solstice on December 21. It is in these weeks leading up to the Solstice, when we are blanketed in darkness, that we can reach into the depths of our shadows to find the light within.
It is only when we truly acknowledge those darker places within us—the places that hold pain, sadness, grief, old habits, and stuck emotions—that the freedom waiting beneath them can begin to emerge.
One of my teachers refers to these places as ice cubes—frozen parts of us that keep us rigid and stuck. When we turn toward them with softness and compassion, these frozen places begin to melt. Our breath deepens, and we soften into the safety, strength, and truth that were always there underneath.
This is the energy we are moving through now, if we are willing. The darker, shorter days call us inward—toward reflection and presence. Then, on the Solstice, the light begins to return.
I invite you to contemplate the places within you that are asking to be seen. Allow yourself to turn toward them—to acknowledge the places you don’t like to look—and offer them love and compassion. There is no need to fix anything. Simply be present and witness. As these places soften, the frozen parts melt, and more light naturally finds its way in.
This is the space I’m holding at our Winter Solstice Gathering on Monday, December 22.
This Solstice gathering blends channeled messages, essential oils, and a guided journey supported by Koshi chimes. We’ll work with the energies present for the group, allowing what’s been held to soften and release, and creating space for clarity and renewal as the light begins to return.
I invite you to join us for this special edition of the Monday Channeled Wisdom Journeys.
