Winter is about slowing down, resting, and going within. On this Winter Solstice, I invite you to embrace the darkness. Our shadow or darkness represents the feelings we don't want to feel, the thoughts or feelings we are ashamed of or judge ourselves for having. It's the parts of ourselves that we don't like. But what if we embraced this darkness, our shadow side. Completely owned it and honored how we feel. What if we explored it, embraced it, appreciated it for what it does for us. What if we allowed ourselves to feel what needs to be felt. What if we loved our whole self both the so-called "good" and "bad" because there is no good or bad. We are just human and our shadow side is there for a reason. Instead of denying it, ignoring it, or pushing it away, I invite you to embrace it, accept it, allow it.
Take this opportunity on the darkest night of the year, to dive into the darkness and fully love your whole self.
