Winter Solstice – Spiritual Phase for Healing and Celebration

Articles

21 Dec 2022

Hello Divine Souls,
Winter Solstice, a day of Sun’s rebirth, time to celebrate and connect to The Universe, Mother Nature and its energies. It is the time to connect and pay gratitude to the Universe, the Sun, the Moon, Mother Earth, all Divine Beings and all the elements that constitute this Divine Universe. It is time for self-reflection, to let go of all the worries and start afresh with new hopes and new dreams.

Solstice is derived from the Latin word sōlstitium which means “the sun stands still”. Winter Solstice, is the day when Sun is at its lowest daily maximum elevation in the sky. The day of winter solstice varies depending on the earth hemisphere; for those in the northern hemisphere it is around the 21st of December and for those in the southern hemisphere it is around the 21st of June. It has the shortest day and longest night.

The day is blessed with unique spiritual energies, it is a time for pause and rest so that we gain insights and feel our connection with the source, the Creator and gain strength. It is time to release the unwanted past and prepare for a new beginning.

Around the world, people follow different traditions and rituals on this divine day. I adore the candle and light solstice ritual. In this ritual, family members gather in the center of the home, light a candle in the middle, and thank the energies of the Universe. Then put out all the lights of the house and finally blow out the center candle and pause for a moment to feel the stillness of the darkness, again lit the center candle and set the intention for the new beginning and lit other small candles and other lights to celebrate the new beginning.

Winter Solstice – Spiritual Phase for Healing and Celebration

I would like to share my way of healing along with the Winter Solstice celebration inspired by this ritual. In this ritual, we will use Reiki charged candle.

Take one big pillar candle and a few tealight candles. You can use candles of any color and aroma but to enhance the ambiance use Christmas tree winter-scented soy candles or preferably green candles.

Now, purify, charge and empower the candles by drawing divine symbols on the air over them and channel Reiki on them.

Please make sure to follow all fire and safety guidelines when working with candles.

The ritual has the following steps:

1) Do prayers and Pay Gratitude

Winter solstice is a sacred night. It is time to rest, pause, revive and the best time for spiritual growth.

Gather the whole family in a centre of the house. Lit the Reiki-charged pillar candle on an altar or a table. Bring the hands in a prayer position. Do the prayer to the Source, the way you prefer.

Thank the Universe, All the Universal Life Force Energies, the five elements – sun (fire), air, sky, earth, and water. Thank all the Gurus, spiritual Guides, Divine Beings and energies, angels, and all the tools. Thank anyone you feel guided to. Thank all those in this Universe, that make us One.

2) Letting Go and Cord cutting ritual

Winter solstice is blessed with unique spiritual energy; it is the best time to release the past which is not serving us for the Highest Good so that we move forward with positive changes with Higher purpose in life.

For this ritual, you can do prayers, invoke your guides, angels and archangels to seek help in letting go.

Request the spirit of fire, glowing your Reiki-charged candle to burn all the negativity. Visualize and feel that all your worries are burnt into the divine fire and transmuted to love and light to the Source.

You can also do any cord cutting ritual.

3) Pause for a moment and get connected with your inner self in the stillness of the dark.

It is time for reflection and to listen to your inner knowing which is sustaining you. There is never complete darkness, there is a divine flame enliven in you.

Sit in a comfortable position. Blow out the candle, if you are comfortable staying dark for a few minutes. Close your eyes, pause for a moment and absorb the quietness within you in this darkness.

Focus and listen to your consciousness and what dreams you want to manifest now. Enjoy the present moment.

4) Lit the center candle again

The way the insect cocoon turns into a beautiful butterfly, the same way cycle of Mother Nature continues as, Winter Solstice gives Hope for the vibrant Spring.

Even though everything is dark, it is never complete darkness. There is a divine spark within every one of us preparing for a better future. Give the spark to relight the Reiki-charged candle and celebrate the spirit of divine love and light in its flame.

Visualize it as a return of the Sun and as the life goes on, it will continue to give you peace, love, joy, health, and abundance. Spiritual energies will help you to prepare, proceed, grow and thrive toward goals.

5) Set the intentions

The Universal Life Force energies on this spiritual day are so powerful that these help us to shed away the unwanted energies and attract positive energies to gain our vision for the Higher purpose. Now, each family member can take one Reiki-charged tealight candle and cover it with the palm.

Visualize a divine flame of love and light within you that is healing all areas of your life. Focus on the third eye chakra, set the intentions of what you would like to achieve in the coming year and wish for its fulfillment for the Greatest Good of ALL.

Now, ignite this candle with full faith and consider its flames as a guiding light towards your visions and goal accomplishments.

You may switch on all the lights if you had switched them off during this process and lit all remaining candles with your intentions.

Time to Celebrate the New Light – The New Beginning!

May the Divine Light within you give a continuous glow towards your goals and wish fulfillment!

Happy and Blessed Winter Solstice!
Love and Light!
