Winter Solstice. The Essence of Power is Stillness by Chris Donovan
Winter Solstice, December 21, is a time of quiet power. The word solstice derives from Latin sol (Sun) and sistere (to stand still). As we honor and observe this season we are given the opportunity to be still, embrace the creative darkness, and allow our body, heart, and mind deep rest. Celtic tradition holds life as cyclical rather than linear. This is represented in Celtic art by the spiral. The symbol of the spiral shows us the pattern of moving inward, going to the still-point of center (our Sacred Mystical Core), then turning outward, and bringing our Light out into the world. When we honor this time of the longest night we remember that out of darkness, Light is re-born. This truth can sustain us through difficult times in our life.
A Winter Solstice Spiral Journey
Settle into a comfortable position and close your eyes. Create a transition into Sacred Space by breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. Allow your body to relax more deeply with each breath. Feel the support of the Earth beneath you.
Visualize a large ancient stone archway engraved with spirals. Feel yourself pass through this magical opening into a beautiful, quiet Winter Solstice night. Breathe deeply and open fully to your connection with Spirit. Notice there is a glowing spiral path on the ground before you. Follow this path that gradually guides you into the heart of the spiral. Once you reach the Sacred Mystical Core, the shimmering path disappears. Stand still and feel into the quiet power of the rich, creative darkness within you and around you. Rest in this precious emptiness.
Feel and visualize a peaceful Light growing in the darkness. Allow this loving radiance to fill you. Experience your heart being ignited by the Sacred Solstice Light. See yourself as completely luminous with the Light expanding and radiating all around you. You are the embodiment of Winter Solstice and you are the Light reborn. Rest in this expansive radiance.
When you are ready to return, notice the Spiral pathway reappears on the ground before you. Now the Light radiating from your core illuminates the path back to the ancient stone archway. As you move back through the magical portal, and leave this Sacred Space, know you are a cherished Light in this world.
