Winter's Introspection
Many find that winter seems to be a time of change. Certainly this year has been an example of huge changes spiritually and energetically. Many of us have faced challenges in our bodies, emotions, work place, and even friendships. Things that are not for our highest good seem to have left our lives, and we are in the process of grieving some of the things we thought we counted on. Old habits, the unpleasant shadow side that dwells within us has been revealed to deal with, and things that hinder our walk have come to light. Some of these things have been emotionally draining, difficult, sad, and have created a great deal of stress.
As well as change on the internal front we have had cataclysmic events on the physical plane. There was the fires in California, the earthquakes in various countries, the odd climate changes, severe drought in Georgia and the Southern regions. We are in a transition politically now that President Bush will be leaving office, and our fate as a nation seems tenuous. We live in a climate of fear and terrorism and it weighs heavily on people's hearts and minds.
It is important that we take the time during this season to take care of ourselves energetically. With all these changes going on we will need to hybernate, rest and pamper ourselves a bit. Take the time to slow down and enjoy the small things life has to offer. Rest your body and spirit with meditation, prayer, time out, good food and nutrition. Take stock of where you are and where you want to be. Begin to make a list of things you'd like to see manifested in the coming year. Stay positive and focused and grounded. While the world is whirling around and the rug seems to be pulled out from under us, we can remember that we have a choice in how we react to these things. We can be pulled into fear, worry, and stress, or we can take a step back and allow ourselves to hybernate and recover while the storm outside rages.
