This year our winter solstice shared the stage with the planet conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. It was a beautiful sight; the sunset, the moon, the stars and the hygge inside our homes aligned for much of the world this time of year. Hygge showed up in our home through a fire, a warm drink and the intention of releasing something that is no longer serving us daily. Each of us had a slip of paper and wrote something down. These releases can be physical, emotional, a verbal habit, a place…whatever you want to bring light to. Then it was burned and let go with the knowledge that this step is only the beginning of letting go.
Let these slowly longer days flow IN and the longest nights slowly flow OUT just like our calm winter breath. Historically, this has been a time for humans to repair clothes, tools, slow cook and hold deep gratitude for food that was harvested and saved to get you through.
Peace. Light. Hygge.
