Yule Blessings! The winter solstice is the peak of the winter season. It is a time to embrace the darkness; a time for contemplation, reflection and introspection where we can look back on the past year and how far we have come, and also look towards the brightness of the future ahead. It is a beautiful time to slow things down and honour the pause, so that we can truly rest and re-fill our cups. Please join me in this practice as we use the power of word and positive affirmations to align our energy with the season of Yule.

The affirmations we will be working with are:

- I embrace the darkness and still of winter, knowing that it is a time of rest, reflection and inner growth

- I release what no longer serves me to make space for new opportunities and abundance in my life

- I am grateful for the lessons and the experiences of this past year, knowing that they have shaped me into the person that I am today

- I welcome the return of the light, knowing that with it comes renewed energy, inspiration and joy

- I am a vessel of warmth and compassion, spreading loving kindness to those around me during the winter season

- I honour my connection to the natural world, finding solace and wisdom in the rhythms of the earth

- I trust in the seasons and the cycles of nature, knowing that even in the darkest of times the light will always return

- I am deserving of rest and nurturing during winter, honouring my body and my soul's need for rejuvenation is essential

- I embrace the beauty of the present moment, finding joy and gratitude in the simple pleasures of winter
