Do you enjoy yoga, meditation and a little bit of "woo"? I love working with people one on one and helping them to discover their inner magick through yoga, meditation and personal ritual! Yoga to me is ritual of movement, a dedication to our selves and our inner most desires.

Releasing 2025-Day 21- Winter Solstice

Clutter Buster — One Last Clearing

Choose one lingering clutter area—the place you’ve avoided all challenge long.
It might be:

A corner piled with mail

The junk drawer

A surface that catches everything (dresser, counter, kitchen table)

Set a 10-minute timer. Move steadily, without overthinking.
Create three piles: Keep, Recycle/Donate, Relocate.
Your only goal is progress, not perfection.

This final sweep symbolizes clearing the old year from your space.

Physical Space Challenge — Reset Your Home Energy

Do a gentle whole-home reset—nothing big, just simple shifts:

Straighten cushions and blankets

Put items back in their homes

Wipe down one or two frequently used surfaces

Lightly sweep your floors or shake out mats

Think of it as creating an energetic runway for the returning light.
Your home doesn’t need to be spotless, it just needs to feel tended to.

Spiritual Challenge — Winter Solstice Release Ritual

Today marks the Winter Solstice the longest night and the turning point where the light begins to return. In many spiritual and pagan traditions, this is the day when we:

Release what cannot follow us into the new cycle

Honour the darkness as a place of rest and wisdom

Welcome the first spark of returning light

Set gentle intentions for renewal, not resolutions

Step 1: Release Through Writing
On a small piece of paper, write down:
• Habits you’re done carrying
• Fears you’re ready to soften
• Energy from the past year you no longer need
• Anything that feels heavy or old
Keep it simple and intuitive.
Step 2: Transform
Safely burn the paper in a fireproof bowl or tear it into tiny pieces.
As it burns (or falls apart), imagine that old energy dissolving into the earth.
Say:
“I release what is complete. I enter the new cycle lighter.”

Journal Prompt

What feels lighter within me now?

What wisdom did the darker months offer me?

What qualities (not goals) do I want to carry into the growing light of 2025?

What am I ready to nourish as the light slowly returns?

End your writing with one word or phrase you want to carry into the new season—
your Solstice Seed Word.

🌙 Mother’s Night Blessings ✨
Tonight we have the opportunity to honour the ancient tradition of Modraniht, or Mothers Night, a sacred time to celebrate the divine feminine, our ancestors, the goddesses, and the nurturing forces that hold us through the long winter.

As we prepare to cross the threshold into Solstice, this evening invites us to slow down, soften, and root into the warmth of home and spirit. Before the returning light arrives, we gather with intention… and let the darkness teach us.

Here are a few simple Mother’s Night rituals you can weave into your evening:

✨ Light a Single Candle
Call in the Mothers. Including your ancestors, guides, protectors, and the benevolent feminine presence in your lineage.
Whisper a blessing or a thank-you. **never leave candles unattended- you can use battery operated candles instead if you prefer.

✨ Offer a Small Plate of Food
Traditionally, offerings were left for ancestral spirits.
Leave a bit of bread, fruit, or honey on a special plate as a gesture of gratitude.

✨ Create a Cozy Winter Altar
Add evergreens, goddess symbols, a cup of warm tea, or a photo of a loved one passed.
Let this altar carry you into Solstice.

✨ Write a Mother’s Blessing
Journal one thing you want to carry forward into the new year such as wisdom, strength, compassion, courage.
Place the note under your candle or on your altar overnight.

✨ Wrap Yourself in Ritual Stillness
Sit quietly, breathe deeply, feel held.
Let this night cradle you. Let it restore you.

Mother’s Night is a reminder that even in the deepest dark, we are guided, nurtured, and never alone.

Blessed Mother’s Night & Early Solstice Blessings 🌙✨
May the returning light find you nourished and ready.
