Winter Solstice 2011

The winter solstice has arrived.  The planet has shifted completely on its axis and tomorrows energy will be that of renewal, power and acceleration.  Like the pauses between breaths, this too is a pause.  Taking time to settle into the space of the planet, her ascension process and movements will connect you deeply to yours.  This shift also reminds me of Suryanamaskar B where you are transitioning from downward dog to warrior one.  That moment when you press deeply into the shoulders and then the force propels you forward pulling your leg through and lifting up into the posture.  There is a moment of suspension.  Those moments, pauses and transitions are sacred and powerful.  Tap into that space within yourself and imagine mother earth right there along with you.  Completing her exhale as you complete yours, pausing…  and shifting all that momentum into the opposite direction. 

Set your intentions clearly as the power to create is totally accessible.  Use the quiet of the solstice to to reflect and renew and then charge up your life with all of your dreams and prayers.  The laws of the universe are unlimited.  Dream big and reach for the stars.  Use your heart energy to tap in, honor your truths and really begin to live in the light.
