Winter Solstice Meditation

Winter Solstice Meditation

​Find a space where you will be undisturbed. Give yourself at least 21 minutes. Sit comfortably, for you - whether that's in a chair with your feet planted firmly on the ground, or cross-legged with your hips propped up on a bolster. You'll be still for awhile, so ensure you're comfortable. ​

Inhale, shrug your shoulders towards your ears, exhale lower your shoulder blades down your back.
 
Close your eyes, or lower your gaze.
 
Inhale light - inhale the word light, inhale lightness of color, inhale bright white... any combination of light.
 
Exhale darkness - exhale fog, smoke. Exhale grays and blackness. Exhale cold and emptiness.
 
Continue to envision lightness on your inhales and exhaling darkness from within for 21 minutes with a natural, unforced breath.
 
At the end of the time, take 3 deep inhales and exhales. Know that the light in me honors the light in you.
