Have you noticed that certain times of year evoke different feelings or orientations?

What does December ask of you?

For me, it’s about light, about opening to it and receiving it.

How do you define light? Perhaps you think about it as: inspiration, healing, divinity, truth, love- or something else. Whatever your definition of light, the dark days of December seem to call for a kindling of that spark, a nourishing of our inner light.

How about A practice to help you connect more deeply to that light?  

Here’s a simple one: How would you complete this sentence? 

“One way I allow myself to experience more light in my life is _________.”

Here are a few that came to my mind:

• One way I allow myself to experience more light in my life is: Relaxing.

To help me connect to a deeper sense of relaxation, I often use this mantra: “I rest in God.” As I say it silently to myself, it helps me to consciously connect to my heart center, breath into it, and feel it open. 

• Another way I allow myself to experience more light in my life is: Spending time in nature.

Whether it’s a walk under the trees or a stroll along the water.

• A third way I allow myself to experience more light in my life is: engaging in rich conversation with people.

Why not make a list for yourself?

If you feel stuck, another way to think about this is by asking this question:

How am I blocking myself from receiving more light (love, goodness, etc.) in my life right now? 

These inquiries can be really helpful to unblock ourselves. So why not give it a try and see what happens?

We could all use some more illumination. Don’t you think?
