This last week I’ve been feeling what Solstice means in my body and being. Not what I read in a book, but what my own body senses about this great celestial transition point.
The Solstice is the original and ancient turning point, where crescendo’s peak, and downward spirals meet their nadir.
Consciously or unconsciously we are aligned and attuned to this celestial turning.
In many ancient cultures, the winter solstice was said to be the day on which the Sun God was born. For the Roman’s it was Mithra, the Eygyptians it was Horus and for the Japanese it was the Sun Goddess Amaterasu.
Newsflash! Just in case you had forgotten:
You and I are children of the sun, creatures of the sun… we may as well call ourselves Sun Gods. :)
Horus, Mithra and Amaterasu were deified archetypes that represent our own potential… our own divinity.
I feel the Solstice energies moving through me as an invitation to embody the sun, to learn presence directly from the sun, to learn about presence, consistency, constancy, power, nurturing, radiance and love directly from the sun.
I feel this Winter solstice inviting the warm nectar of the sun to permeate every part of my body, for me to become the sun.
I feel a powerful groundswell of energy borne in the dark oceanic depths I have traversed these cycles, coming to the surface, coming to the light of the sun.
Here in the southern hemisphere the longest night has passed and now the days are getting longer. We are just at the start of winter, yet there is a new beginning and I can feel it all around me.
The flooded homes and valleys are drying out and the tired bodies are resting. Dreams that were put on hold are being pulled back into consciousness, but of course they are different now.
Everything is different. Nothing stays the same. Except the sun…
In a universe of impermanence, the reliability of the sun to just show up and be there is quite the contrast.
I’m going to learn from that: let everything be fluid and ever-changing, surrender to the constant dance and flux… yet be constant in my presence, my warmth and my love.
sending love to your heart, Jiro
