I feel balanced and aware is our intention this month and the Niyama of self study, Svadyaya continues to be our guide.  Lots of energies lining up right now for us to use as study…..

The Joy of the Christmas season and the meaning of advent.

Winter Solstice

And of course the end of another year 

 

First, the winter solstice is a time to honor and acknowledge the endings & new beginnings in our lives.  We practiced Tuesday night together to take time to briefly tap into Svadhyaya to both honor our past and clear space to make room for what we wish for the coming year.  A perfect opportunity to dive deep and end up balanced and aware!!!!  Take the class in the bonus section if you missed it!  This leads us right into the end of the year and some more helpful reflection to come.

 

Whether you are Christian or not just hear me out…… Christmas is the end of Advent and advent is a joyful waiting of sorts for Christians.  This past Sunday the priest told us that life always has dark and light and advent is about uncovering the light and choosing to focus on it.  He said we have 1 more week, focus on the light in your life not the darkness, its our choice.  He said to find the joy and jump for joy!  

What is your light? the Joy you can jump for?  Here’s a few of mine…..

Ocean dips with friends in freezing cold water!!!

Sunrises and sunsets over the water as well as full moonrises this week!

My boys all making their way home for Christmas, COVID free - finally!!!!!!!!!!

What are yours? Choose this week to only see the light, when your mind goes to any darkness choose again!!!

 

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays! Thank you for journeying with me this year!!
