The Festive: Endings and Beginnings...3 Ways To Vision Your New Reality
To us at Openhand, in keeping with ancient tradition, the winter solstice is the real completion of the year. However, of course it does blend into the festive season of Christmas too, which we really need to align with in the most productive way, considering how it's generally lost its original meaning within society. Might I suggest it's a time of transition - between endings and beginnings. If we approach it in this way, there's so much to be gained. Take time out of the mindlessness and excessive consumption (although maybe there'll be less of that this year for obvious reasons!). Instead, build in some meditation time, alone time, time for sacred ceremony.
Visit a sacred site. Conduct ceremony of letting go of an old reality and opening space for something new to begin. It's a question of dying to the past and being reborn in the present, to unleash vibrant new creativity in your life.
