↞ WINTER SOLSTICE RITUALS ↠
Megan Allen
Today we celebrate the Winter Solstice, the first day of Winter here in the Northern Hemisphere. This brings us the shortest day and longest night of the year.
Winter is a time to turn inward, rest and hibernate like bear. We can learn a lot from plants and animals; how they use and conserve their energy, how they prepare for different seasons and do not hurry yet everything is accomplished.
Take time to rest and reset over the next couple weeks as we close out 2021.
Here are a few rituals to guide you through this time and into the coming of the light🌟
I will also be co-hosting a Winter Solstice Ceremony in our Wild Woman Flow Facebook Group this evening at 9pm PST. Join our Group Here ❄️
The Light Within Me, Honors the Light Within You!
Lots of Love,
Megan
WINTER SOLSTICE RITUALS
Many cultures around the world celebrate the solstice and finish the year by purifying and shifting energy with the elements of air, fire, water and earth.
EMOTIONAL RELEASE
⟡ Grab a piece of paper + write down any fears or feelings of anger, frustration, sadness or burden that are holding you down and burn your paper and let go energetically, making room for new light to come into your life.
SOAK + LET GO
⟡ Take an epsom salt bath, purify your body and clear your mind. When you are done soaking, envision you are releasing anything no longer serving; thoughts, events, emotions, or trauma through the water as it spirals down the drain.
LIGHTS OUT
⟡ Turn off your lights + devices, disconnect from technology and tune into nature and the moonlight.
CLEAR STAGNATION
⟡ Open your windows and use a smudging tool of your choice (sage, palo santo or incense work great) to clear the energy around your body, aura and throughout your home. Don't forget the back of your neck and the corners of each room as this is where energy can really get stagnant.
⟡ If you don't have a smudging tool, not to worry, ring a little bell around your space to break up the energy.
IGNITE YOUR INNER FLAME
⟡ Light a candle and state your intentions of how you plan to spread your light in 2022.
