Enjoy mini-meditation to reflect upon the beauty and inspiration of the holiday lights
The holidays are considered one of the busiest times but we can take a few minutes of mindfulness to appreciate this magical aspect of this time of the year.
The winter solstice is actually the first day of winter, but it is also the shortest day of the year.
This is also the time when “light” is a focus in many traditions.
Light guides us.
Light brings us hope.
The light shines for us.
This is the time of year when we can look inwards to find our own light shining.
And we can reflect upon our own light within.
This is the time when days get longer and longer. But for now, we are in the proverbial dark.
Remember, without darkness, we can't see the beauty of the light.
Notice the holiday lights around you.
So take this moment and just notice. Look around and see where you can see little tiny bits of reflection of light and expand your awareness and notice the different colors of these lights.
Notice the hues. Notice the depth of them.
Let’s not forget the lights in the sky. The millions of stars twinkle and transform the dark sky into an amazing display of light. Notice the moon above if she is there.
No matter how you connect to the light this holiday season, it does connect us.
You have a wonderful holiday and I will see you next week.
Take a deep breath in and exhale
So, before I go, listen closely and remember this ONE one thing.
Your future is a thought, your past has passed, but your now is always here.
Be mindful-one minute at a time.
Hugs, Cheryl
