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.
