The winter solstice is a significant time of year because it ushers in a new cycle and the rebirth of light. It is a great time for reflection and renewal. We get the opportunity to learn more about ourselves, let go of what no longer serves us, and create commitments for the new year during a guided meditation.

For this meditation, we are instructed to get into a cozy position and close our eyes. With every breath, we consciously breathe in the spirit of the winter solstice, relishing the longest night and shortest day. As we become aware of our breathing, we develop a pattern that helps focus our minds and anchor us. In the meditation, we concentrate on the region of our hearts, where we could sense the beating of our hearts and the love that resides there. We allow this love to expand throughout our entire body, filling us with warmth and compassion.

In this guided meditation for the winter solstice, we establish a sacred space where we may let go of the past and welcome the future. We give ourselves permission to let go of past mistakes, limiting beliefs, and everything else that stands in the way of our growth and enjoyment. We make resolutions for the next year with a heart full of love, envisioning the opportunity and hope that lies ahead. The winter solstice has transformative power, and this meditation serves as a gentle reminder of the fundamental connection between the cycles of nature and our own inner journeys.

The winter solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year. We move into more and more darkness during the fall, and the solstice marks the shift back towards the light, and the gradual return of the sun, it's also the official start of winter, which makes it the perfect time to turn inward, to reflect on what's happened during the year behind us and look forward to what's coming in the new one before us. This winter solstice meditation will help you do just that. It includes a brief journaling session at the end. So please make sure you have your pen and journal or paper handy. Let's begin. Seated in your comfortable position, close your eyes. Relax your jaw. Soften your face. Release your shoulders and let your arms go slack. Let go in your chest and belly, hips heavy and legs soft. Supported and calm, relax your body. Now bring attention to your breath. Let's start to breathe on purpose. With your lips gently closed, jaw relaxed, start a slow, easy rhythm with your breath, inhaling and exhaling through the nose. No rush, just breathe. Notice the way your body moves with your breath. Inhale. Feel your body expand. Exhale. Feel it settle and relax. Now let's lengthen the breath. Draw it out, slow it down even more. As you inhale, slowly count to six, then the same as you exhale. An even count of six to lengthen your breath. Stay with the count and focused on your breath. Inhale for six and exhale for six. Keep these slow breaths going as you focus on your heart space. Bring your awareness to your heart. The beat of your heart, the blood in your heart, the love in your heart. As you breathe, be with your heart and your love. Allow it to expand and fill your whole body. Inhale love, exhale love.
