The Ancient and Beautiful Tradition of Celebrating Winter Solstice
Winter Solstice is one of our favorite reasons to celebrate at Hudson Healing Arts! The solstice 'officially' arrives at 5:02 am in the northern hemisphere, as one of the earth's poles reaches its maximum tilt away from the sun. Not only do the days gradually become longer, but this season brings with it a renewed sense of hope and possibility to the world. And we could surely all use a good dose of hope and cheer this year!
Traditionally called Midwinter or Yule, the solstice has been celebrated from ancient times with festivals, spending time with loved ones, singing, dancing, and fires, heralding the return of light to the world. Although we may not be able to gather in the same way as in years past, we encourage you to take this time as one of reflection and introspection. Solstice is believed to be a time that holds powerful energy for regeneration, renewal, and self-reflection.
A Special Solstice Ritual
At Hudson Healing Arts we believe in creating rituals to mark special times and events. They need not be elaborate, simply a time to pause. reflect. and honor the moment. It’s an ancient tradition to burn a candle on the solstice to welcome the return of light to the earth. Settle in to a quiet, peaceful place and light your candle. Let the light spill over the room and soak in the stillness. Let it burn all the way through. As the flame glows, ask that all negativity from the past, all that may have lingered, be released in the flame.
This is a good time to set your intentions, hopes, and dreams for the new year. And this year in particular, our hopes and dreams are all the more precious to us. If you wish, you can write these wishes on small pieces of paper, light them in the candle’s flame, and watch the paper as it’s transformed into smoke…carrying your intentions out into the universe. And trust - trust that we will all find a way to navigate through the challenges ahead into a brighter and hopefully wiser time.
We wish good health and safety for you, your families, and your loved ones. We're all in this together. Let's come through this time as wiser, more compassionate, loving people.
