Winter Solstice
On December 21, 2020 we will be entering the last Earth Activation of 2020, the Winter Solstice. This marks a change in the earth, as we enter water season. Water is a symbol of creation. New life comes from water, and so this is the perfect time to refocus and nurture yourself more instead of others. As the year and decade comes to a final close, prepare for some uncomfortable growing pains. There wouldn’t be growth without discomfort, so don’t let this feeling make you feel like it’s time to give up or let it take you out of your center.
Winter can be a very difficult time for many of us, it gets darker, colder, and makes us stay home most of this season. There is healing in the effects of the Winter Solstice. It helps wake us up to the areas in our life that need more love and warmth, resulting in us creating goals for a better version of ourselves (also the effects of a new year commencing) it all falls in alignment. The Water Season prepares us and the earth for a greater change. The start of new growth.
Before Water Season we were in Air season (Autumn). This is the most transformative season in the entire year. During Air Season, life is a bit more chaotic. Feeling like we are being blown around and readjusted, this season allows us to release and shed the old and what doesn’t serve us. Cutting the weeds and preparing for transformation. This is usually a time of death of the old soul and Water Season allows us to be reborn anew. We are all going through this together, and so you are not alone. The Earth and Sky as well are, shifting and changing for the greater good of unity and oneness.
Tips of Refreshment
Cleanse your space with Sage, sweet grass, or The Zen Dealer Protection Spray, containing both Sage and Palo Santo. Having your windows open helps immensely as well.
Add some natural aspects from this season in your home. Think pine cones, cinnamon, clove, orange peels, Christmas tree, bowls of nuts or fruits, and mistletoe which symbolizes abundance and fertility. Add candles and take the time for bonfires if possible. Signifying celebration of light.
submerge yourself in water by taking baths or warm showers and holding your breath right under the shower.
Journal Prompts
What do you wish to cleanse yourself of during this new season?
I am reborn. What does this look and feel like?
How can I embody this new version of myself?
What creative energy is wanting to come through me?
How can I express myself in alignment with my Highest Self today?
I encourage you to sit with yourself during this season and indulge in your breath. Think about yourself being cleansed by the ocean or waterfall, whatever type of body of water soothes your soul. Envision yourself being reborn as a pure vessel of inspiration. This is the moment for you to create the foundation for your new self. Just like a snake sheds their skin, this is your moment of newness.
