This time of year is very special and very potent. The energy of Winter is the seed energy of the coming year. Under the snow, in the stillness of this time of deepest darkness, the seeds of the coming year lay waiting to germinate and awaken. Just as Summer Solstice is the time of the most powerful male projective energy, Winter Solstice is the deepest time of the feminine power. This is an opportunity for deep transformation. Within each of us new modes of perception and new ways of working together are opening up. It is a time for renewal and regeneration. At this time of so much change and transition, we need to move cautiously and be guided first by our negative mind so that we can listen deeply and be fully aware of all the forces at play. Then the positive mind can do its part, and through meditation, the neutral mind will function. Some of us are blessed to gather and meditate together at Winter Solstice, but all of us, wherever we may be at this time can do the following meditation which is effective for transition and for opening up hidden channels within ourselves.° Place the left hand, palm flat, on the heart chakra (hand is open and relaxed, fingers point towards the right shoulder)
° Place the right hand, palm flat, on the crown chakra
° Breathe slowly and deeply. Look down to the tip of the nose with the eyes closed.
