What About Winter?!
 
 
Hello everyone!  Happy Winter!  Merry Yule!  Swingin’ Saturnalia! 
 

Know what’s cool about winter?  Pretty much everything if you forget your long johns ….. 
 
 

Brrr... its cold out there !
 
Oh, that’s right.  The first official day of winter marks the turn of the wheel into the light half of the year.  That’s why winter celebrations are always such blow-outs.  Did you ever notice how there are tons of candles everywhere?   And stars and shiny stuff and all that?  What does it remind you of?  The sun climbing over the horizon perhaps?  Think about it!

And while you’re thinking about it, here is a quick, simple meditation you can do for any reason you want.  It’s good to call in the energy of the sun when you can use a boost.  Here goes:

Dress warmly-  you’ll be doing this outside.  It also works best from sunrise until noon.  But doing it in the afternoon can also work.

Go outside to a quiet safe space.  Close your eyes for a moment – breathe slowly and deeply three times.  While you do this, think of all the things you like about sunny winter days.  Can you feel the sun on your face, even though the weather is cold?  With the last deep breath you let out, slowly open your eyes.  Remember your glad thoughts about the sun and its light and warmth.  Think of this when you need the warmth and strength of the sun.
 
 
    Now go play in the snow!  If there is any ….. 
      Have a smashing Solstice! 
      And an incredible Imbolc,
