The winter solstice is approaching. December 21st. The Paegans celebrated the holiday of coming out of darkness. So much of what they did revolved around when they could grow food and survival. Coming out of darkness meant warmer weather, longer days, more sunlight. This is important for survival. Even looking at the Christian holiday of this time - it is birth - rebirth really. This is a time to Celebrate. The Islamic New Year is this Wednesday. We can all be united. All races, all religions - united in New Beginnings. Rebirth. Coming out of the Darkness.
It is this sentiment that I approach the change of season. The days will begin to brighten and last longer. The world is anew. I will attempt to come out of my darkness. I will always try to live life to its fullest. I am recommitted to this goal. No one, nothing can change or take away my light. I will shine and give my light to others.
I was laying in bed this morning thinking about my reading last night. A reading I will share again today. Every day there is a choice. Every day it is YOUR choice alone. Live your life. Free yourself from the darkness. Choose happiness. This is our chance to begin anew.
My workshop Body Prayer (12/18 at hauteyoga) is meant to solidify this goal. Let go - begin your new journey of life without the weight of the past. Heal old wounds. Create new goals. Express gratitude. Love yourself. Find new strength.
Open your heart to the light.
You are SO wonderful and bring light to my day JL. :)
ReplyDeleteHey, you know that lesson you gave on Monday about strengthening your bottom two core centers?
