SOLSTICE IS COMING CLOSER
Daylight is scarce and slim, noon carries a softness but is already leaning into dusk.
You are in winter now. The land settles into the quiet and begins to hold itself closer to the core - so do you, you might notice.
We are entering the most introspective state - and even though outside all grows louder, faster, and with more expectations from you, I, too, invite you to become more still, follow the pull of nature instead of the pull from the material matrix world.
We are now at a threshold (grenzlinie): the final days before the solstice have a particular intensity - some of you have even told me this week how you feel it in your days. I, too, feel it. In older cultures, this period was understood as a time when preparation mattered. gathering your herbs and incense for the solstice rituals, yet only if this speaks to you. Outside rituals are a help, but you know the Rudrani (the spiritual fire) burns inside. But moreover, TENDING TO YOUR HEART MORE CAREFULLY. Settle unresolved matters before the longest night of the year. Not out of fear but for the respect of the turning of the year.
Thresholds ask for attention, always, and this is one of the greatest thresholds of the seasonal cycle, paired with the end of a 9-year transformation year, the shedding of old stories, old samskaras, and old beliefs of how you think you must live, must love, must behave. time to burn it and let that version of you live that has been sitting inside your heart and soul waiting for you to finally let it run: fast, strong, and determined - like the fire horse.
Today is a quiet ground on which the solstice prepares to arrive. for you, it can feel like this:
-
internal shifting
-
thoughts are heavier, more inward
-
emotions may rise w/o a clear cause
-
the body might ask for more stillness than usual
-
Insights arrive quietly and unannounced
-
the world simplifies, and in that simplicity, certain truths become easier to feel
So listen, be gentle, and to as much as you can, follow your instinct these next days. Let others deal with themselves for a while. The universe guides all of us.
INTEGRATION FOR THE WEEKEND
Set aside some time to sit quietly and reflect on what you are carrying into the longest night of this year.
-
what feels heavy?
-
what feels unresolved?
-
what is ready to be released or laid down?
Jot it down and then feel into it. Are you called to action? Go for it. Are you called to sit with it and let it take further shape or form, do that. Your intuition will tell you what you need.
A walk in the woods or by the water can help ground your thoughts and feelings. So do hot baths, or sitting down with a candle and some healing music.
May the light of your heart be your guide, and may the approaching solstice bring your freedom and peace.
Love,
Misty
