The winter solstice is a celebration of the Sun’s return. While it is the shortest day and the longest night of the year, each day after the winter solstice the sun is visible and the days grow a little longer. Then we welcome its return in spring. The lack of the sun’s energy is felt especially at night and in the past and out of necessity bonfires were lit for warmth and to illuminate the surrounding darkness. Without the sun, without warmth, without light, life will not prosper. The same applies to each of us individually. We each have a light within ourselves; some call it our lifeforce, spirit, intuition or prana. Sometimes this light becomes dim or is stamped out by life’s events, but always remember it is never completely gone. Tonight I lead a meditation and sound bath with the purpose of guiding others toward reclaiming their inner light and how they could rekindle it, protect it, allow it to illuminate within and shine as bright as the sun.
