Yuletide Meditation - Winter Solstice
This meditation is best done
seated near a lighted tree or in front of holiday lights. After sun-down and
before sun-up.
Let the fairies dance upon
the boughs, behold the magic within the needles. Each tiny orb is a memory,
each light a window to the future. As yuletide is upon us - now find your
presence. The sun is at it’s furthest from our realm and darkness lays across
us like a patchwork quilt, sewn together with ribbons and traditions. On this, our longest eve, invite our Lady of
Light to grace us with her care, her grace and her maternal warmth. Gaze softly
into the light of the fairy tree, let the embers glow, muted by your softened
contemplation (drishti). Allow the aura of lights to be your key to your true
identity; your key opens the door between your mind and your spirit. Upon
entering, your space is void of attachment. What was a duality, a separation,
is now a flow of consciousness, an ultimate awareness of I AM (so-ham). As your gaze looks into the softness of
light, look into the eyes of presence.
Mantra So-Ham, first aloud
and then eventually into a silence within your conscious flow, 54 times
On this day of abbreviated
light, when the overseer of darkness lays his blue translucent fingers of cold
upon your body, this is a marked day, in time and space, when we shall travel
from our outer material world and transcend into a space of expansive light; a
higher mind set forth by the consciousness of Divinity, an all pervasive warming
of generosity and gratitude.
Hither come into this space
all forms of being. Those of strong
constitution, ones with agitated body, ones with disease, gaze upon your inner
light to bring forth harmony, poise and peace through a receptive presence,
find yourself as one with the energy flow of pure consciousness. In darkness of
days, all manner of warring is going on within your being, break the shield
wall of your mind with your vibration of harmony.
Upon yuletide is the time to
be triumphant despite the bleakness. This is the time to dance with your
darkness, we know our darkness well, much better than our light, from
familiarity you can transcend through a
doorway of Faith. Beyond the threshold, you no longer allow negative thoughts
to displace your true identity of I AM (so-ham). Only you can bring harmony to
your physical body and only you can release yourself from the shackles of
imposed mental chains. Darkness is left behind in the chamber of winter, slough
your barriers and behold the Lady of Light, the Mother of Creation and know
that You Are That: I AM (so-ham).
Repeat the mantra So-Ham, first
aloud and into silence, 54 times, followed by an extended, silent meditation
for a time of your choosing.
