Episode 204: Winter Solstice Celebration and Healing

Hello, everyone. I can’t talk. Hello, everyone. Welcome to Awakening with Amy Robeson, the live experience. I’m so excited you are here. Happy Winter Solstice. Are you Are you excited? Are you excited for the light to start coming more forward? Winter Solstice is the longest, darkest night of the year. And from now on, from moving forward, after, I believe it’s December 22nd is when Winter Solstice is actually happening, we will start bringing in more and more and more light. So we usher in the light and we welcome the dark today. And I’m excited about it. I love celebrating the season changes. I think it’s really important for us to acknowledge that the season has changed. And it creates this beautiful energy of completion with the previous season, and it welcomes in the new season. It’s such a beautiful time, and it can be a very magical time. And it can also be a really that time because this is where all the holidays are starting to happen and there could be a lot of pressure with what that might look like or what that might feel like because some people have lost their loved ones or they’re not in good standing with their loved ones or there’s too much pressure to show up a certain way or to act a certain way or to be a certain way, whatever the case is, we want to let all of that go, and we want to welcome, and we want to honor the light, and we want to honor the darkness.

And when I’m talking about darkness, I am talking about this beauty that winter has in it. And it is a slower pace. It’s comfy, and it welcomes you to slow down. If you’re in the northern hemisphere, it’s this slowing, slowing down. If you’re on here live, say hello. Let me know how you’re doing, how you’re feeling, where you’re tuning in from, and what are you excited about for winter solstice? There’s lots of people on here. Hello, hello. I’m really excited to do the healing today. Hello, Maria. I’m sorry if I said your name wrong. Happy winter solstice. Hello, Ellie. Busy Bee, Kim. Kim says, I’ve been preparing ingredients for my Simmer pot, planning my menu for the solstice tomorrow. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Hi, Maria. Hello. Oh, my God. Yes. Hello. Hello, everyone. Okay. So for winter, and this is slowing down in this cozy. I like to consider it the cozy season, depending on where you live. You might get to wear more cozy sweaters, or maybe you’re in a hot season, so you can’t do But make it cozy. What can you do to make this season more cozy? And what can you do to give yourself permission to slow down and welcome the light in?

And I want to use this analogy. So spring, summer, there’s this really beautiful busy energy where everything’s busy, busy, busy, busy, busy are happening. And then when winter comes, there’s this slowing down where when we slow down, the light gets to shine on the parts that we haven’t recognized in a while, or it gets to shine on new ideas and new inspirations, or it gets to shine on clarity, or peace, or discernment. There’s all sorts of different things that the light can shine on when we A slow, slow, slow, slow down. And I’m hearing to share this as well, that be available to receive messages in unexpected ways and pay attention to what you are saying and when you are saying it. Be really present with your words. Be really present in a conversation because these are when the unexpected can come in, when you are paying closer attention to what is happening and what is being said and what you are saying as well. I know earlier today I was doing a podcast interview, and I had a really beautiful download on something I was wanting and I’ve been praying for a while to receive guidance on.

And as I was sharing certain things with this host, which that episode, I think, is going to come out on Christmas Eve, I was sharing certain things with this host, and it was like, I could hear spirit say, And that’s what you’ve been looking for. Because I’m working on this project, and that’s what that That’s what you’re going to lean into. And I was like, Yeah. Okay, got it. I’m going to run with that. Now I get to meditate on it. Now I get to be with it and find that stillness and find that beauty in the stillness and the slowness that I’m going to invite over the next month into my life, especially the next two weeks. Because in the stillness, there are answers. In the stillness, there is peace. In stillness, there is clarity. In stillness, there is the ability to receive answers to your prayers. And without that stillness, it’s like the light is chasing you, but you’re moving too quickly for it to figure out where it can fully land for you to fully receive what you are meant to be receiving in that moment. And when it’s chasing you, it doesn’t have the opportunity for you to fully embrace it the way you can.

I know I’m talking in analogies I am. There’s something really sacred that can happen when you allow silence to to come in. If you’ve ever experienced a snowfall, there’s this deafening silence that can happen, and it’s so beautiful. It’s so magically And there’s this stillness of the Earth. And you have the ability to create that within you because we live in a very noisy world. There’s something always buzzing. The refrigerator is buzzing, the air condition, the heating. Something’s always vibrating. And that can feel very distracting. And when you go in and you start to own your breath, and you journey inward, and you allow this darkness to just encapsulate you like you’re going into your mother’s womb, and you’re just being encapsulated and cocooned with love. There’s this beautiful A beautiful light that gets to be seen and witnessed, and that light is a part of you, and it’s not separate from you. And that is the light of creation. That is the light of God. That is the light of the universe. But you have to be willing to sit in the dark for it. You have to be willing to find silence. Let me know if you’re excited for this, or does this scare you?

Does this make you nervous? Does this get you excited and nervous? How does it make you feel? To me, I think that in my 20s and even in my 30s, I had a really hard time sitting still just because I had so much energy. I didn’t know what to do with it. And within sitting still, it was like, I felt like I was almost being confined. And now it’s like the world is so much busier and my body is just like, I I need stillness because stillness actually feels very peaceful to me.

It feels very, very, very, very peaceful.

Okay, someone said, Exactly. The sound is so eternal during snowfall. It’s so beautiful. And I’m from Wisconsin. And so growing up, I think I love the snow, but as an adult, I despised it. I hated it. I didn’t like it. And I moved away from it. I I moved south. And not having the snow is so strange. And now that we live in a place where it snows once a year, I get so excited to experience it and to be with it. And I actually love the cold more now than I ever used to. But when you grow up in it, it’s like, I don’t want to deal with this. And then some people just love the cold and some people love the hot.

I love it all.

And there’s beauty in all of it. And there’s experiences in it all for you as well. And there’s just such a beautiful thing with it. Okay. Vicky said, Someone said, I’m excited and love it. He said, Really excited, feeling like there is a master plan. I like that. Excited and nervous, Hilona said. Kim said, I’m so, so excited and happy I have been for the past few weeks. Yay. I feel I needed that. Oh, that’s great. And then Monica said, Hello from Maine. Hello, my dear. Okay. So here’s what we’re going to do. We are going to do a Winter Solstice celebration, healing. And if you’re listening to this before the Winter Solstice, great. If you’re listening to this after the Winter Solstice, it’s great, too. You can celebrate at any time. It’s okay if you’re not celebrating it on the exact day. It’s all about intention. And so we’re going to do this celebration, a healing. I’m going to speak light language. If you’re not If you’re new to me, that is going to sound like a foreign language. It’s a cosmic language of your soul. Also, please do not drive or operate heavy machinery because you can fall asleep, you can get into a trance.

So you want to practice, say Safety. Practice safety, my friends. Everything I do is inside of the Akashic record. So by listening to this, you are receiving it through that and you’re giving me permission to work higher self to higher self We’re not doing anything outside of that besides working higher self to higher self. So that means you can listen to this outside of the live and listen to this any time at all. And so we’re going to do this healing. Sean said, I feel ready for the deep, bone-chilling cold, the silence of the midnight snowfall. There’s something really magical about it. And for me, I’m constantly hot because I’m going through my changes, and so I’m excited about the cold. Very, very excited. Maria said, Quiet can be the place of gifts and provide space for expansion. Absolutely. Yes, Amy, couldn’t miss this healing. Yes, I’m excited. Okay, let me take a sip of water, and then we’re going to do this. Okay, no driving. You come back and listen to this if you are, and we’re going We’re going to do this inside the classic records. So wherever you would like to do this healing, you can find a comfortable position.

So you can close your eyes, you can take a comfortable seat, you can lie down, whatever feels right and true for you to find that position now. And as you find that position, give yourself permission to settle into your seat, settle into your heart space, and receive a breath. Taking a nice deep breath in through your nose, A cleansing breath out through the mouth. Another nice deep breath in through the nose.

Cleansing breath out through the mouth.

Feeling your grounding cord root down, down, down, down, down. As your grounding cord roots down, it’s going to reach the core of the Earth, which is Mother Earth, Gaia’s Heart Chakra. I want you to plug the grounding cord into Mother Earth. Then I want you to breathe her energy up into you on an inhale.

On an exhale, feel her energy expand through your entire auric field.

Feel her presence, feel her warmth, feel her love. Then I want you to take another nice deep breath in, feeling the crown of your head stretch up towards the great central sun, towards the great I am.

And on the exhale, feel creation, God, universe, whatever sacred title you give that being, pouring pure magical consciousness into to you.

And I want you to feel the sacred feminine, the sacred masculine, dancing within the cells of your body and being. Then we’re going to set up sacred space, and we’re going to invite our ancestors, our loved ones, the animal spirit guides, our galactic friends, our elementals, spirit guides, plant medicines to surround us that are of the highest light of the highest good, of the highest frequency to surround us from the northeast, south, and west. We’re going to just be surrounded, protected, and connected as above, so below 360 degrees.

.

Then you’re going to take another nice deep breath in.

Cleansing breath out.

And as you’re breathing, I want you to feel, sense, or imagine that there’s a beautiful, magnificent glowing light in your heart space.

It’s glowing around a doorway.

And I want you to make your way over to that doorway, and you’re going to open it, and you’re going to step through.

And when you step through, it’s a beautiful, starry night. You’re in the middle of the forest. You feel cozy, you feel warm, you feel safe.

And you’re surrounded by big, gigantic evergreen, and there’s snow beneath your feet.

I want you to feel, sense, or imagine just the peace and the calm that’s surrounding you, the magic of the night. And I want you to just savor the moment. Just be in gratitude in this sacred space. And we’re going to thank the darkness, thank the night. We’re going to thank the snow and each and every little snowflake that’s on the ground, and all of the trees, and all of the Earth, and all of the animals that are surrounding you. I want you to feel, sense, or imagine that you are just being held in love in this sacred, silent, majestic, beautiful place. You’re just in awe and in gratitude. And then I want you to see, sense, feel, or imagine that off in the distance, not too far, there is a beautiful, magnificent bundle of wood, and there’s a big, gigantic opening. And this opening is circled and surrounded by trees, but this opening is huge and vast. And there’s all this beautiful wood that’s nice and dry. And what you’re going to do is you’re going to pile up some wood in the center of this opening. And with each and every piece of wood, piece of lumber that you place within this sacred space, you are going to infuse it with love.

And what you’re doing is you’re getting ready to build a bonfire. You’re getting ready to honor and celebrate the coming of the winter and saying goodbye to fall, to the autumn. And you’re going to welcome the darkest night of the year. And as you place all the wood on this beautiful, magnificent fire pit that you are getting ready to strike a match in light, I want you to stand before the bonfire, and I want you to express gratitude for every single thing you have endured, you have experienced all the challenges, all the wins.

Yes, I said challenges and wins.

I want you to express gratitude for all the challenges and wins that you got to experience before the winter. I want you to express gratitude. Thank you. Thank you for this learning experience. Thank you for this exciting opportunity. Thank you.

There’ll be a moment of silence while you express gratitude. And as you’re expressing gratitude, you’re also going to set an intention of what you would like to receive and how you would like to be in the winter.

So you might want to receive some exciting news or you want to manifest something. But there’s this being that you get to be. So is that peaceful? Is that calm? Is Is that action-orientated? Is that whatever it is that you want to be, that you want to encapsulate, go ahead and state that.

Then I want you to reach into your pocket and you’re going to have a really cool, special book of matches.

And these matches are magical.

They light on the first strike.

And all you’re going to do is pull out a match and you’re going to strike it.

And when you strike it, you’re going to throw it onto the wood. And when you throw it onto the wood that you have built into a firepit, the wood is all going to light up. It’s going to light up so bright and so beautifully. And we’re inviting the light in because after this wintour, Enter Solstice Night. More and more and more and more and more light is welcome. So we’re going to honor the night. You’re going to simply say, I welcome the light. I welcome the light. I welcome the light. I welcome the light. And then go ahead and start to walk around this beautiful, magnificent bonfire. And look at the beautiful light dancing with the darkness. And then as you’re walking around and you’re simply stating, I welcome the light. I welcome the I welcome the light.

You’re going to notice in your pocket there are different herbs, different things that you get to throw into the fire.

It might be pine needles, it might be a bay leaf. It might be oranges. It might be Holly. It might be sage or palisantos, or anything that you would like to put into the fire. And it doesn’t have to be logical.

It could be anything that you’re reaching into your pocket and you’re noticing your consciousness, your higher self is like, throw that in.

It’s going to invite more magic. It’s going to invite more light. It’s going to assist you with your purpose. You’re going to throw it into the fire, and you’re going to allow the fire to work its magic with this beautiful darkness in your beautiful higher self and your spirituality.

.

And I want you to hear the crackles of the fire And if it feels good for you to stop and pause and just stare at the flame and stare at the darkness while the flames and the light and the darkness start to blend into one another, you can do that, or you can jump into the middle of the flame and be engulfed by the flame itself.

Whatever you decide to do, you are safe, you are safe, you are safe. And as you’re honoring the darkness, as you’re honoring the light, I want you to just be immersed in this energy, in this feeling. And I want you to feel.

I want you to imagine. I want you to hear. I want you to sense creation, God, universe, being present with you, maybe dancing with you, maybe breathing with you.

And as you’re breathing with God, creation, universe, you’re going to receive a message.

And that message is about stillness and about slowing down in the beauty, in the magic that you will receive by doing so.

As you’re standing in this beautiful bonfire or standing before it, I want you to sense, feel, see, or imagine that it starts to snow.

And as it snows, there’s snowflakes brushing across your face, landing on your shoulders, landing on you. There’s this This beautiful cleansing, this deep, deep, deep cleansing with the snow that’s happening. And I want you to just welcome it like an old friend. You are magnificent, you are beautiful, you are powerful. Take a nice deep breath in. Exhale out. And when you’re ready, you’re going to feel, sense or imagine your energy slipping back into your heart space, slipping back into your body, breathing deeply, widdling your fingers and your toes, slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly, I’m coming back to. And whenever you are ready, you can open your eyes, you can take a sip of water or drink whatever feels good to you. Let me know how you’re feeling and how you are doing. How are you feeling and how are you doing?

Sending you so much love.
