We are lit by a light we may struggle to see, yet in the dark we see what cannot otherwise be seen. Walk with eyes closed and inner feeling alive!

This Sunday, December 15th at 4:00 p.m. will be our next Circle call with Our Friends.  Please see the end of this post for details.

Entering the Dark of the Year

First bring yourself, with whatever tension you have, to this very moment.  Breathe it, feel it, accept it, have loving kindness and compassion for yourself in your nervousness, in your tension, in your holding.  Simply love yourself and breathe: naturally, fully, and deeply.  Feel what is there, ask if it can let go a little.  Let yourself be with you in integrity, in honesty, in love, in kindness and gentle accepting presence.  Hold yourself.  This is the path of learning, Being and doing.  It is for you to hold.

Next, leave off the small things, the petty things, leave off your past, leave off your friends, go to the core and stay only with the core that is you with you.

These are the important things: releasing the past, the familial linkages, the lineages, the bindings, the agreements.  You let go.

You can only do this work for yourself.  You cannot do it for others.  Only they can find this place of release for themselves.  They are much more likely to seek it and find it when they see, feel, and experience it in you.  So, your letting go is wholly healing.

Now, open your gates.  Open your inner sanctum of self.  You are asking to step forward into the fullness of your own soul embodied.  You are asking to be en-souled, in voice, in thought, in feeling, in body.  You are asking, in this life, to be fully present in your highest essence, in this body, in each moment.  You are asking to walk in this life fully awakened, aware, in each step finding and creating the true path of your unique essence.  You both offer yourself and invite your Self.

Prepared now, you call upon G-d, G-oddess, life force, essence, Being.  You call upon what is the IS; you call upon your G-d, ultimate essence. You invite, you ask, you call with your whole open heart for the Light of G-d to reside with you, in you, through you, to teach you, to guide you, to protect you, to hold you, to nourish you, to nurture you, to provide for you, to clear the path before you and make your steps strong and firms, to guide your thoughts, your feelings, your voice.  You invite all of this into your body, into your heart, into your life, and you surrender yourself to that Divine flow that all will become true and strong.  You ask G-d into your life fully, completely, embodied in every cell, thought, feeling, moment, and breath.

You hold loving space for yourself.
