21/12/2021 Solstice Journal Update

The solstice is all about death and rebirth. There's a reminder that to recreate something new in your life, you have to let go of something that has now served its purpose. So what can you do today to let go of something so that new growth may come to your life?

I fondly recall this time last year spending time at a sacred site in the midlands, a place called the "7 Sisters" - called so because of the once marvelous, ancient trees at the site. Sadly they died of dutch elm disease, BUT! they were replaced by locals with these 7 young trees in the video - the great symbol of death and rebirth. I also felt it was especially poignant considering Openhand has its Return of the Pleaides Retreat coming up in Mexico in January (just a couple of last-minute places still available).

Enjoy today's reflection which contains a heartfelt shamanic alchemical prayer to the land, to inspire you today and going forwards in your energetic life. Be alchemised!...
