Or maybe you say you want greater ease in your financial life, or you want to fulfill a creative goal. Or maybe you’ve been deeply heartbroken and part of you can’t bear to open a heart that could get broken again. Where are you putting one foot on the gas and one foot on the brakes? Maybe you say you’re longing for a deep soul partnership-and part of you is-but another, perhaps even stronger part of you may be terrified of the ego shattering that this kind of partnership can activate on your journey to true love. Imagine that if you were God/Goddess, you would want your Beloved child to have a say in how things unfold, but you wouldn’t want him or her to demand that things go a certain way! Unblock What Interferes With The Co-Creation ProcessĪlso critical to planting seeds is bringing out of the darkness any energetic block that may interfere with the creation of what you so deeply desire. Think of it as casting your vote in the co-creation process without strong-arming it. If it’s not aligned with love’s most enduring destiny, the force of love that fuels co-creation will help ease the longing and replace it with a desire for that which is aligned. Instead, let yourself be vulnerable before God/Goddess about what you deeply desire, then cast the burden of your longing into the loving arms of that which can help you bring it into being-but only if it’s meant for you or the planet. Remember that you only truly want what is meant for you (or what is aligned for our species, our Earth home, and our place in the galaxy) and you don’t want to force what is not aligned (that never goes well or leads to true happiness, harmony, or peace). Remember to also hold the paradox of being fully in the beauty of your deepest longing and also surrendering it to Divine Will. The tension between those two is magnetic and puts you at the vibe that prepares you to receive that which you yearn for. Let yourself feel both the wash of gratitude as if it’s here and the pain of the unmet longing. This may bring up grief, as you feel the joy of having what you long for but know in your mind that it’s not actually here yet. You must tune into the FEELING of that which you most deeply desire and FEEL IT NOW, as if it’s already here. If you’re wanting to plant seeds for something that you sense wants to become, either for yourself or for the health of the planet, remember the key to heart-centered manifestation.
#SOULSTICE BAY AREA FULL#
Paradoxically, the full moon is a time to celebrate the seeds you may have planted during the new moon-so you may find yourself both planting seeds and harvesting fruits this unusual solstice! If you’ve been waiting for the right time to do that potent cord-cutting, letting go release ceremony or humble, surrendered, deep longing-based manifestation ritual, this would be a good time! Write down what you want to let go of and burn it with your Yule log. The solstice is also a time to let go of what is old and used up and no longer serving you, so you can plant seeds for what is fresh and new and life-giving.

Allow this candle to illuminate everything that is unlit in you. Light some sage or incense and use it for cleansing and also as an offering to the darkness and the returning sun. This represents your own unique inner flame.

Then illuminate another candle from the sun candle in the center of a circle. I like to light a sun candle-a big white pillar candle that represents the Inner Pilot Light of the world. Use this time to invite them back, to integrate them into your whole being, and love them back to wholeness. The Winter Solstice is about celebrating our darkness, so take some time to contemplate your own darkness, not as a way to shame yourself, but as a way to illuminate the darkness and shower it with love, compassion, and understanding about why you may have exiled your shadow parts. I like to perform solstice rituals, so let me share with you an invitation, in case it resonates.

Today is the Winter Solstice and tomorrow is both the full Cold Moon and a meteor shower, so this is an exciting time in the cosmos as the sun begins its return closer to earth and the sky showers us with light on this darkest night of the year.
