WINTER SOLSTICE

Winter Solstice

The Winter Solstice (Hibernal Solstice) takes place on Sunday, December 21, 2025, 10:02 a.m. EST in the northern hemisphere. December 21 will have the least amount of daylight as the sun will be at its lowest arc in the sky for the northern hemisphere.

Shortly after December 21, our precious sunlight will begin to increase again (only by seconds in the beginning.  The additional light will be more noticeable in the evenings.)

As much of nature sleeps and the light is limited, we can use the long nights to reflect on our life’s journey. Go inward and plan your intentions for when the energy and the light return.

Follow Mother Nature example as she knows best. Many animals are now hibernating or slowing down, resting and waiting for the return of light, for the return of warmth, the return of the energy that nurtures us mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Our obvious current lesson is patience. Utilize this time wisely.  You can use it to look deep into your shadow self. Bring light to the darkest corners of your being but do not judge what you find. Fill each corner with love and allow spirit to grow.

Is it coincidence that during Yule season (the rebirth of light), Christians celebrate the birth of Christ for example (the rebirth of salvation)? This is a time of celebration for many, whether it is Yule, Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, Bodhi Day, Saturnalia, and the list goes on.

We have much to celebrate. Be filled with promise, with faith in all that is. Be filled with gratitude, with love and with inner healing light! Winter Solstice blessings.

EVER-CHANGING BACKDROP OF OUR LIVES

Is there a shift taking hold in your life? 

Are you entering a new phase of development? 

Quite often after a period of what feels like stagnation, we begin to enter a new phase of progress.  Our focus may shift and we step in a new direction.  It’s time for growth!

This may be expected or more often than not, completely unexpected.  We become so wrapped up in the process that we don’t recognize that change and growth are happening.  In most cases, the entry level is subtle, and little seems to shift, but after time, we begin to notice that something seems different, that we are being drawn in a different direction.

In many cases, especially in the beginning, it is internal, but then the internal changes reflect out into our world as well. Life looks different. Our outlook seems brighter, colors more vibrant, the wind and temperature more outstanding.  Although the manner of expression seems to be directed towards outside stimuli, in reality we have already changed within.  Again, all things begin within and then are noticed on the outside.

The Ever-Changing Backdrop of our Lives

The shift does not have to be a total life change (but it can be). Change can manifest itself in small but important relationship changes, occupational transitions, or even changes in our appearance.  Outside manifestation moves in areas that we will recognize and perhaps others will as well, (although at times, only we realize the change that is happening).

Prior, we may have been felt we were ready for change or knew that something had to shift. Alternatively, we may not have had any idea that a shift was coming.  One thing is for certain, the changes taking hold, whether barely recognizable or life changing, are in place for a reason. 

Shifts happen when change is required.  We are ready even if we don’t feel we are.  The ever-changing backdrop of our lives is significant. We will move forward even when we hold back.  Shifting is part of our life’s purpose, and it takes hold when appropriate.

THE REAL YOU

To understand who you truly are, you would have to go back into your archives, back to where it all started. 

No one really knows their beginning, but many believe that this is not the first incarnation of our earthly journey.  Some believe that there have been several other incarnations that have brought us to this current one.

The Real You

Who are we, really?

What are we capable of doing?

We are far more than who we see on the surface.  We are the culmination of every lesson we have experienced. Again, I ask then what are we capable of because of these uncountable lessons?

We know we are spiritual in our true nature, a small piece of God (don’t get caught up on the word we chose to use). We can use the word “whole”, “universe” “nature” and the list goes on. It has been said that the whole or God is indivisible.  We then are a part of a whole which cannot be divided.

Are we attempting to unite that which can’t be separated? 

Perhaps while pondering these questions, you might ask if this life is just about material rewards and accomplishments? 

There must be some valuable lessons that are taught through this existence or we would not be so wrapped up in attaining and success, at least for those that are.  What valuable lessons are taught through these gains and losses? 

Why have we entered this existence which is so tied to achievement and what does this experience teach us?

The real you is spiritual and has much knowledge and insight that can provide great assistance in this life particularly for yourself as you cannot assist others until you help yourself first. 

Can we assist humankind on its evolutionary quest as an individual? 

Do not, for one moment, think that your part in life is too small to make a difference.  An ocean is made of uncountable single drops of water. Push forward with your pure love and compassion for self and your brothers and sisters. Each and every one of us has work to do.  What is the real you capable of doing if your know that there are no limits?
